Samsung’s official virtual assistant character was firstly launched in the 2-dimensional form, and now, it looks like the company is preparing to introduce its new virtual assistant as a 3-dimensional character very soon. This new version has recently appeared on the web that looks quite charming.

Even after having in the form of 2-dimensional, the character received a radical modification treatment to make debut on social media. This upcoming virtual character could be called Sam, which has more expressions, poses, and textures that make it more interesting and modern.

Samsung’s April 2024 update bricking Galaxy Z Fold 3

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 3 Camera issue

Samsung’s April 2024 update is reportedly bricking Galaxy Z Fold 3. A user reported on the Korean version of Samsung’s community that this smartphone was stuck in recovery mode after triggering the installation of the F926NKSU2HXD2 firmware.

The problem seems limited as I haven’t found many reports regarding the same. At the same time, the comments section of the source post also lacks similar feedback from consumers. Still, I recommend you not to install the HXD2 firmware on your Galaxy.

Samsung has recently launched Samsung Wallet in its home ground. We’ve seen a heavy number of Samsung Pay users switching to Wallet for advanced payments and mobile ID features. Notably, the firmware update also brought Samsung Wallet Mobile ID integration for the Fold 3.

Apart from the Wallet upgrade, the firmware brings the April 2024 security patch. Samsung may have also released HXD2 to the Galaxy Z Flip 3 in South Korea. The same firmware was started rolling out to the Galaxy Z Flip 4, however, there are no reports from consumers in the community.

While the smartphone is stuck in recovery mode, the only way left is to wipe the data. Wiping data will lead the user to lose access to all the personal data that was not backed up. Also, there will be a lot of hurdles after manually resetting the device such as logging in via the trusted device.

We will update you on the matter!

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.
