Do you remember the alleged mini product roadmap of Samsung that was surfaced last month? The leak revealed details and a timeline about the company’s next Galaxy Unpacked events and products as well. As mentioned in the alleged roadmap, the upcoming PC-focussed launch event is going to be held on April 28, 2021.

Aside from this, the South Korean tech giant is likely to launch the next Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S21 FE on August 19. A few days ago, a reliable source revealed that the firmware development for the Galaxy S21 FE and Z Fold 3 has begun. And now, a new fresh report appeared on the web, which talks about the basic specs of the S21 FE.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be packed with a 4,500mAh battery, reports GalaxyClub. This handset equips a battery with model number EB-BG990ABY and a rated capacity of 4,370mAh. Though, the company could market it as a 4500mAh battery.

Previously, we were expecting that the Galaxy S21 FE could come with the same battery capacity as the Galaxy S21+ because the Galaxy S20 FE features the identical battery capacity as the Galaxy S20+. It’s worth noting that the Galaxy S21+ comes equipped with a 4800mAh battery.

Aside from this, a popular leakster brought the very first appearance of the Galaxy S21 FE through high-resolution CAD renders. The renders revealed that this device looks quite identical to the Galaxy S21, and has a vertically placed triple rear camera system along with an LED flash on the right side.

The Galaxy S21 FE comes with a 6.4-inch flat display, which is somewhat larger than the 6.2-inch display of the Galaxy S21. Furthermore, the display comes with a centered punch-hole cutout to house a selfie camera. In addition, it’s expected to be powered by a flagship-grade processor, while this latest leak doesn’t reveal any more information.

LG Innotek struggles to gain ground in Samsung smartphone CoF

Samsung Galaxy A55 A35 5G promo material

LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.

TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.

As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.

LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

Apple foldable phone

Benchmark listing confirms Samsung will fuel the US Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a Snapdragon chipset. The device has benchmarked on Geekbench, scoring sizing points in single-core and multi-core tests. Interestingly, the Flip phone features 12GB of RAM, which is a big upgrade.

As spotted by CID/X, the US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will feature up to 12GB RAM and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. While the listing doesn’t mention the phone’s marketing name, Samsung’s modeling strategy says SM-F741U is the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Earlier, the same product surfaced on Geekbench’s graphics processing unit test. The device reached the same performance as the Galaxy S24 Ultra despite lacking such larger cooling tech. As far as the CPU performance is concerned, the Z Flip 6 scored:

  • 1794 in single-core
  • 4486 in multi-core

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.

As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.
