However, the transition is expected to happen in a few years, until then Samsung will continue to use Android OS for Galaxy devices. As the Korean tech giant is showing interest in developing Fuchsia, it looks like the OEM will lead from the ground level.


 

Original Article: May 14, 2021

Since 2016, Google has been working on a new open-source operating system called Fuchsia OS. Although the search engine giant is developing this OS, it is not based on Android, which is the most popular operating system for mobile phones.

According to Google, it can run on multiple types of devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, computers, and IoT devices as well. So far, the company has not disclosed its features or any other information regarding the release of Fuchsia OS as it is still under development.

Recently, reports surfaced online, which revealed that Samsung has started contributing to the development of Fuchsia OS as it has submitted a new code, which is related to F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System). Developed by Samsung, F2FS is an alternative system that manages files on a storage device (eMMC and SSD).

Aside from this, it looks like the South Korean tech giant is preparing to use Google’s upcoming operating system, which could run mid-range Galaxy devices. According to a well-known tipster, Samsung will adopt Fuchsia OS in the future, and its possibility is very high.

Currently, the Galaxy devices run Samsung’s own developed One UI, which is built on Google’s Android operating system. If this information comes true, then the future Galaxy devices will also run the Fuchsia OS as Samsung is showing exceptional interest in its development.

Well, there’s no authentic information available about whether Samsung will use Fuchsia OS for Galaxy devices or not. However, Google is going to hold the developer conference (a.k.a. Google I/O) from May 18 to May 20, where it will make some big announcements about its future plans.

What do you think, will Samsung use Google’s Fuchsia OS in its future Galaxy devices? Let us know in the comments section below.

Galaxy S24 FE: Samsung’s budget flagship under development

Published

Samsung Galaxy S24

Samsung is reportedly working on the development of the Galaxy S24 FE. Earlier this year, the company released the Galaxy S24 flagships, which are selling well globally. Now, the company has started work on its next budget flagship, with a release expected later this year.

GalaxyClub reports that Samsung is developing the Galaxy S24 FE with the R12 codename. The codename aligns with Samsung’s previous releases as the S20 FE was codenamed R8, the S21 FE was R9, the S23 FE was R11, and the R11 (S22 FE) was in development but hasn’t been released.

It was reported that Samsung might launch the S24 FE in the summer. As the development starts late, the release may be pushed to later this year, as testing and production aren’t finalized yet. The latest report also has no other details than the device’s codename.

Galaxy S23 FE has the hardware specs of the S22 series, however, the S24 FE might bring the latest. If it happens, we might see a price hike in the next budget flagship. New Galaxy AI features are also expected to debut with the S24 FE, before the S25 series launch next year.

Samsung is also working on an affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6, which would be the first Fan Edition foldable. Judging from the 2023 release strategy, it’s expected that the Galaxy S24 FE might launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold FE, new FE tablets.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US model packs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.

Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.

The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.

The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.

This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.
