Along with the premium devices, Samsung is also working to introduce affordable smartphones and tablets in the near future. So far, several rumors and leaks circulated on the web regarding the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, an upcoming low-end tablet from Samsung.

Meanwhile, this new leak is not about a tablet but, it’s a massive Galaxy A22 leak that exposes this smartphone in its full glory through high-resolution renders, thanks to Steve Hemmerstoffer. However, these images appeared from a third-party source but they are the same as the final product.

According to the information, the Galaxy A22 measures 167.2 x 76.4 x 8.7mm along with a 1mm camera bump. On the front, it comes with a 6.5″ LCD display with a traditional notch for the selfie camera and thick chin.

It looks like we are going to witness a big upgrade with the Galaxy A22 smartphone when it comes to the camera. As per the latest renders, this device has a 48MP quad-camera system at the rear side in a squarish design. However, the camera specs still remain a mystery.

As per the previous reports, the Galaxy A22 5G is a cheaper handset and it could be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chipset while its 4G version could have a MediaTek Helio chip.

Additional specs could include: storage options such as 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM, 4GB RAM / 64GB ROM, and 6GB RAM / 128GB ROM, which can be expandable with a microSD card.

Talking about price and availability, the Galaxy A22 will probably be somewhere between € 210 and € 275, where the 5G model will of course be slightly more expensive than the 4G model.

Aside from this, a tipster leaked the Samsung mini product roadmap that revealed a number of upcoming Galaxy devices in which the Galaxy A22 listed to be released in July this year.

TSMC’s 3nm price hike set to impact Android flagships in 2025

Published

on

Snapdragon 8 Elite

Most upcoming Android flagships will use Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Qualcomm switched to a 3nm TSMC process node for the Snapdragon 8 Elite this year, and the chip production cost may further increase in 2025; impacting Android flagships too.

Recently, a Chinese tipster revealed on Weibo that TSMC will raise N4 and N3 process prices in 2025. Increased 3nm and 4nm TSMC chip costs could put pressure on Android flagships slated to come out in late 2025 to be pricey.

TSMC’s N3 (3nm) and N4 (4nm) processes could rise by 4%. As Qualcomm and MediaTek manufactured their latest flagship SoCs using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process, their product prices have risen significantly compared to the last year.

Previously, Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite cost increased by 15%, reaching $180. MediaTek has also produced the latest Dimensity 9400 on TSMC’s 3nm process node, however, the price is yet to be known.

If TSMC continues to increase production costs, all Android vendors in the cost aspect will also bear greater pressure, which possibly cause them to continue to adjust the smartphone’s selling price or adjust other aspects.

It’s worth mentioning that the Vivo X200 series starting price rose $41.90, the OPPO Find X8 series starting price rose $27.93, the Xiaomi 15 series starting price rose $69.83, Honor Magic 7 series starting price rose $13.97.

Samsung will also utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite across the Galaxy S25 series. The company has been facing yield rate issues with its 3nm process. As a result, it’s nearly impossible to commence mass production that’s far below the threshold.

Watch: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE’s crease is nearly perfect

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition

Samsung’s limited edition Galaxy Z Fold SE is a master of crease control. The new foldable phone’s screen crease is nearly perfect. It even outpaces Oppo’s Find N3 and OnePlus Open apart from Samsung’s own Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Tipster Ice Universe recently showcased how perfect the Galaxy Z Fold SE’s crease is. Despite having a larger foldable display, the company’s Special Edition device features a nearly invisible crease, outpacing its Chinese rivals.

The video shows Samsung W25 crease is very shallow, making it the best foldable on the market. Unfortunately, the smartphone is exclusively sold in South Korea and China, and currently, there’s no plan for the United States debut.

As compared to the Oppo Find N3 (OnePlus Open), the Galaxy Z Fold SE has a less visible crease. The foldable area of the panel looks flat from multiple viewing angles, that’s a pretty big development in Samsung’s history.

While Oppo’s foldable displays the screen bumps, the aspect is much better on Samsung’s. The waterdrop hinge requires a wider portion of the display to flex and fold, but Samsung managed to significantly limit the crease bumps.

The Galaxy Z Fold SE could remain limited to South Korea and China only. However, these upgrades could be introduced on the next-gen standard foldable i.e. the Galaxy Z Fold 7 so a broader audience can experience the foldable advancements.

Samsung is selling the Galaxy Z Fold SE (W25) in record numbers. The company sold Z Fold SE stocks within minutes twice in South Korea. The first batch of units was also finished in the Chinese market, which is excessively competitive.

Samsung W25 and W25 Flip

In a shocking development, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE has been sold out in China. It’s quite stunning as the company has a presence in the Chinese smartphone market. It seems the Special Edition is bringing special happiness to Samsung.

Earlier, Samsung sold out two stocks of the Galaxy Z Fold SE in South Korea. The first sale started late last month, while the second sale was held earlier this month. Both stocks were sold out within minutes, revealing the craze for the new foldable.

Even in the highly competitive Chinese market, the first batch of sales sold out in just a short time, signaling strong interest. Both the W25 and W25 Flip had their first batch of pre-orders sell out within just three hours of sales beginning.

Samsung also announced that the pre-sold units will be officially released on November 15. Since these are limited edition models, it’s reported that stock was quite limited. Pricing of the new foldable phones is as follows:

  • Samsung W25 (Z Fold SE) – 17,999 yuan (~ $2500)
  • Samsung W25 Flip (Z Flip 6) – 9,999 yuan (~ $1400)

Samsung’s W25 selling in China is based on the Galaxy Z Fold SE. When folded, its thickness is 10.6mm, and when unfolded, it’s 4.9mm. Due to the metallic frame at the hinge, the W25 is 19g heavier than the Fold SE (which weighs 236g), coming in at 255g.

IDC reported that Samsung held a 7.7% share in the third quarter in China. However, experts believe that the success of the W25 is unlikely to lead to significant growth given the limited quantity of units and the relatively small consumer base.
