Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The 933 operating profit increase posted by Samsung in Q1 2024 was nothing compared to the success the Korean giant garnered in its latest Q2 2024 quarter, as the company posted a 15-fold increase in net earnings, with various business segments displaying incredible growth during this period. Here, we take a look at which areas Samsung has improved upon and where it is expected to be cautious. Semiconductor prices rebounded thanks to the AI boom, causing Samsung to post impressive results On Samsung’s newsroom page, the following information is stated concerning the overall revenue and operating profit generated during the […]
The Q4 2023 period was the only time Apple surpassed Samsung and became the largest smartphone brand in the world, but for the previous two quarters, the California-based giant has suffered dwindling shipments, whereas its rival has secured the first position. On this occasion, the latest data reveals a similar story, but new figures show that both technology giants are losing valuable ground to other competitors, which is not a great look as two more quarters remain in the year. Global smartphone shipments increased by 12 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago, but Samsung and Apple witnessed […]
Samsung has finally passed NVIDIA's qualification stages for its HBM3 memory; however, the firm has experienced a roadblock with its relatively advanced HBM3e process. Samsung Has Received A Breakthrough With Its HBM3 Products, Now Qualified For NVIDIA's Accelerators; However, The Firm Still Has A Long Way To Go The Samsung-NVIDIA fiasco surrounding HBM qualification is quite an extensive one and a rollercoaster ride, considering that there were multiple rumors previously reporting on a qualification failure. Now, new reports have emerged citing that the Korean giant has finally made it. This time, outlets such as Reuters and BusinessKorea are disclosing the […]
Sony has exclusively provided Apple with various cameras for its handsets, and with the iPhone 16 lineup, the situation is expected to remain unchanged. In fact, the company’s top-end model, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, will reportedly be treated to Sony’s new 48MP Exmor IMX903 with double-layer transistors and a slightly bigger sensor size compared to the IMX803 found inside the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, the Japanese firm could have its monopoly compromised in 2026, as an analyst believes that Samsung will enter Apple’s optics supply chain and start delivering cameras for the iPhone 18 in 2026. Analyst does not […]
The Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra will reportedly enter mass production in August, with Samsung expected to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ for the first time in its flagship tablet family. As Qualcomm continues to raise its chipset prices, the Korean giant has to seek alternatives to reduce its component cost or continue bearing reduced profit margins on each sale. As it so happens, one report states that by teaming up with MediaTek, Samsung will gain increased bargaining power over Qualcomm, maybe to the extent that the latter provides its Snapdragon shipments at a lower price. Samsung’s 18 […]
A court in Suwon, South Korea’s most populous province, has sentenced a senior ex-Samsung engineer to a little more than half a decade in prison for leaking around 340 million won worth of OLED technology to China. This figure converts to approximately $24.5 million, making it a decent chunk of change that was sold to a competitor that would benefit greatly from getting a look at and taking advantage of cutting-edge display technology mass produced by the world’s largest OLED panel maker in the world. The former Samsung engineer violated the Unfair Competition Prevention and Trade Secret Protection Act and […]
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 sports a slightly thinner frame while being lighter than previous-generation foldable flagships, but Samsung’s mobile division head, TM Roh, reportedly has grand plans for next year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The executive has reportedly told engineers to make the upcoming handset thinner than the Galaxy S24 Ultra, making it the sleekest foldable smartphone that the company would ever release. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as it sounds, and there are various drawbacks to making devices incredibly thin. Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be as thin as 7nm when folded, 58 percent thinner than the […]
Supply chain sources now report that Samsung has successfully passed NVIDIA's qualification tests for its HBM3E memory, a massive breakthrough for the Korean giant. After Months of Rumors & Developments, Samsung Has Finally Managed To Gain NVIDIA's Trust In Its HBM3E Memory It looks like Samsung has finally achieved a goal that the firm has desired for several quarters. The Korean giant is preparing to start supplying HBM3E to none other than NVIDIA. For those unaware, Samsung has been trying for quite some time now to achieve NVIDIA's certification for its HBM3 processes since that would not only put the […]
The Dimensity 9400 will be MediaTek’s most advanced smartphone chipset to date and is said to be mass produced on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, which is the same one used for Apple’s M4. A cutting-edge node is not going to be the only attribute of the upcoming SoC because Samsung recently announced that it has completed validation of the world’s fastest LPDDR5X memory for MediaTek’s upcoming latest and greatest silicon. In addition to increased bandwidth, the Korean giant announced that we should witness greater power efficiency from this standard. Samsung and MediaTek completed the verification process for the Dimensity 9400 […]
AMD is reportedly planning to develop Glass Substrate chips as early as 2025 as Intel & Samsung eye mass production for post-2025. Glass Substrates Are Expected To Be The Next Big Thing For The Tech Industry, Intel & Samsung Eye Towards Establishing Their Production While AMD Aims Chip Development As Early As 2025 Glass substrates are used in packaging solutions to replace organic materials. They have numerous benefits, such as higher packaging strength, which ensures more extended durability & reliability, and a higher interconnected density since glass is usually much thinner than organic material. This allows the integration of multiple […]
Samsung Foundry has announced that they have secured a 2nm order from a Japanese firm, snatching away TSMC's well-established customer. Samsung's 2nm Process Is a Testament To the Commitment They Have Towards The Semiconductor Division The Korean giant disclosed the development in a press release, which isn't ordinary because 2nm is still a process that hasn't made it into mainstream markets. Samsung securing a client shows that not only is the company's 2nm node sufficient for market adoption, but Samsung is looking to close the gap with the Taiwan semiconductor giant TSMC. With the 2nm, the competition does look to […]
