Samsung’s first Galaxy AI Phone, the Galaxy S24 will be unveiled in San Jose, USA on January 17, 2024. The appearance is not much different from the previous model, but it is attracting attention as an AI phone equipped with a generative AI model.

AI technology has reached an important inflection point that will determine the success or failure of smartphones. Samsung plans to use the Galaxy S24 to open the era of so-called “on-device AI”, which implements AI within the device.

Samsung will install its self-developed AI Gauss x Galaxy AI in the Galaxy S24 flagships. The newly introduced Galaxy AI is implemented with on-device AI built into the device.

This is a technology that collects and processes information within the device itself. Because it does not go through an external server, processing speed is fast and security is high.

Galaxy AI is expected to be equipped with not only Samsung Gauss but also the latest AI models from global big tech, such as Open AI’s “GPT-4” and Google’s “Gemini.”

In the case of Google, it maintains a cooperation system with Samsung and Android, and additional AI models can be installed through relatively simple methods such as firmware updates.

The main function of Galaxy equipped with AI is real-time interpretation calls. Even without installing a separate external app, Galaxy AI interprets and delivers information in the other party’s language in real-time.

Device control, sentence summary, and grammar correction are also possible from the terminal itself. Generative AI is also used in major services such as photos, messages, and voice recognition.

The company has set a production plan for the Galaxy S24 series at 35.28 million units. This is an aggressive target that is about 13% higher than the previous work.

This reflects confidence in the first AI phone. The plan is to lead the next-generation smartphone competition by setting the unpack location in Silicon Valley, the US, the courtyard of rival Apple.

Like its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 series will be released in three versions: Standard, Plus, and Ultra, with approximately 15 million units, or 45% of total shipments, are Ultra models.

The change in appearance is that the edge display will disappear for the Ultra model and a titanium frame will be applied. The thickness is reduced by 0.3 mm and the weight becomes lighter.

There is no significant difference in appearance between the basic and Plus models from the previous model. In the Ultra model, one of the rear telephoto cameras is changed to 50MP, which is 5x of its predecessor.

Thanks to this, a 5x optical zoom function is possible. The remaining front and rear camera performances are the same. The basic and plus model cameras are the same as the previous model.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra could solely use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip, and the basic and Plus models are expected to be equipped with the Exynos 2400 chip and Snapdragon depending on the market.

Pure blood HarmonyOS Next arriving to rival Android, iOS

Published

on

Huawei is set to launch pure blood HarmonyOS, the HarmonyOS Next later this month. While HarmonyOS supports Android apps, the HarmonyOS Next won’t be the same. The company is setting the stage to rival Android and iOS dominance.

Chen Xinxin, general manager of HarmonyOS industry solutions confirmed (via HC) HarmonyOS Next launching later this month. The self-made operating system will help Huawei compete against Google and Apple in the Chinese market.

Apple’s iOS is limited to iPhone, while Google’s Android is based on many skins. Leading smartphone vendors such as Samsung use Android on their devices. HarmonyOS Next will be promoted as the third leading mobile OS.

Per reports, HarmonyOS Next is “entirely independently developed and autonomous.” It would be a big blow to Apple and Google in the Chinese market. The success rate will decide whether its global arrival will take place.

Back in 2019, Huawei introduced the HarmonyOS operating system. It was accused of being an Android-based skin with radical UI tweaks. Support of Android apps was necessary as Google has a vast application ecosystem.

Huawei gradually expanded its work on the operating system. The company grew its application ecosystem through app developers. Now, we are hearing native apps are developed or under development for the latest iteration.

Following the US ban, Google pulled Android’s access from Huawei. The company has been facing immense challenges since then. However, it didn’t give up, and as a result, a competitive product is ready for a striking debut in the market.

Reports say that HarmonyOS runs on more than 900 million devices with 2.54 million developers. Huawei also plans to invest a massive $987 million to “incentivise” HarmonyOS native apps and technical services and to build out the HarmonyOS ecosystem.

iPhone 16’s Camera Control on Samsung Galaxy: Awaiting the masterstroke

Published

on

Apple iPhone 16

Camera Control may have caught your attention, which debuted in the iPhone 16. Unlike Dynamic Island, Apple’s Camera Control key on iPhone 16 is a must on Samsung Galaxy. I am eagerly waiting for this masterstroke, honestly.

iPhone 16’s Camera Control key will be beneficial on Samsung Galaxy. The company’s Galaxy S flagships are known for their exceptional camera capabilities. A dedicated button will improve the user experience by 10 times.

Apple’s Camera Control introduces new ways to operate mobile cameras. Additionally, it helps users quickly access visual intelligence to learn about objects or places around them faster than ever before.

It’s a dedicated key integrated with Apple’s fancy iOS software. It’s a touch feedback key in the middle frame next to the power button. This underrated addition significantly elevates the camera experience on the iPhone 16 lineup.

Camera Control on a future Samsung should be welcomed by most Galaxy fans. Zooming capabilities, Nightography, and OIS of Galaxies are far ahead of Apple iPhones. Notably, Sony-made camera flagships also bring a capture button.

One UI 6 replicated several features from Apple’s iOS 17. I can’t assume Samsung will be criticized for bringing an iPhone-inspired Camera Control button on a future Galaxy. The company should consider innovating to uplevel Galaxy’s camera experience.

Camera Control is a tactile switch, which powers the click experience. Besides, the key also has a high-precision force sensor, making the light press gesture, and a capacitive sensor – unlocking touch interactions.

The functionality is also able to trigger the camera, take a photo, and record video. iPhone 16 users can adjust controls such as zoom, exposure, or depth of field. As a result, users can compose a stunning photo or video by sliding their finger.

Is Google set to ditch Samsung for 3nm Tensor G5 production?

Published

on

Google Pixel 9 Pro

Google Pixel 10 series will likely use 3nm Tensor G5 made by TSMC. The company is swiftly working to switch the Tensor producer for the next-gen SoC. Starting with the Tensor G1, Samsung has been fabricating Pixel-exclusive chips.

BusinessKorea reports that Google is likely to switch Tensor G5 production from Samsung to TSMC next year. The report suggests that the Tensor G5 will be used in the Pixel 10 series and is expected to be produced using TSMC’s 3nm process.

Samsung retained Google for the production of the Tensor G4 processor last year. Recent developments suggest that the Tensor G5 would not be produced at Samsung Foundry as a switch to Taiwan’s TSMC is highly likely.

Google and TSMC have entered the full-scale mass production phase of the Tensor G5. Despite utilizing its own developed Tensor, Google’s Pixel phones have always been criticized for performance and efficiency issues.

“TSMC has gained an advantage over Samsung in the 3nm process.”

In a situation where Samsung urgently needs to secure Foundry clients, losing Google to TSMC could disrupt its order strategy. Samsung Elec is also considering solely using Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 which would also benefit TSMC.

Samsung Foundry’s low yield rate is the biggest reason for Google to opt for TSMC. Exynos 2500 is already facing release uncertainty, and the departure of Google would significantly harm Samsung Foundry’s Mobile AP business.

Beyond Tensor G5, Google is rumored to produce Tensor G6 using TSMC’s 2nm process. It will be a huge leap in the Pixel segment’s AP strategy. Pixel 11 may be the early entry to ship with a 2nm process-based chipset variant.
