As scheduled, Samsung held the “Samsung Networks: Redefined” event to introduce new solutions and notable 5G accomplishments for network transformation. At the event, the company highlighted its experience in developing in-house chipsets for over 20 years.
According to Samsung, the new chipsets are designed to take Samsung’s next-generation 5G lineup to a new level by increasing power efficiency, boosting performance, and reducing the size of the 5G solutions.
Samsung’s newly-introduced chips-
3rd Generation mmWave RFIC:
The new 3rd generation RFIC chip supports both 28GHz and 39GHz spectrums that will be implemented in Samsung’s next-gen 5G Compact Macro. The chip consists of advanced technology that reduces antenna size by nearly 50% to maximize the 5G radio’s interior space.
2nd Generation 5G Modem SoC:
Samsung’s 2nd generation chipsets will let its future baseband unit have twice the capacity while cutting power consumption in half per cell, in comparison to the previous generation.
DFE-RFIC Integrated Chip:
This new chip combines RFIC and DFE functions for sub-6GHz and millimeter wave spectrum. By integrating these functions, the chip not only doubles the frequency bandwidth but also reduces the size and increases the output power of Samsung’s next-generation solutions, including 5G compact macros.

Samsung is considering to launch an FE-branded Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year. The company reportedly entered a review of plans to introduce an affordable foldable phone this year. There is speculation that the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE might not debut this year.
According to TheElec, Samsung has been planning to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE next year. It may be cheaper than the regular variant in favor of a downgraded display and processor. However, Samsung’s pricing strategy would be worth seeing for its first affordable Flip phone.
This year, the South Korean tech giant is expected to launch only two foldable phones. While there are no signs of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, the Fan Edition may also be canceled in review. Therefore, an FE lineup of foldable phones – Flip and Fold will likely join the segment in 2025.
Samsung could hold the next Galaxy Unpacked on July 10 in Paris. At the event, the company may not only launch new foldable phones but the Galaxy Watch 7 series and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro could also be launched. Well, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the event so far.
We are also hearing that the Exynos 2400 might not be employed in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 this year. The company has reportedly tested it but the chip has failed to offer satisfactory results. This means the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also use Snapdragon chip internationally.
