Note: One UI 3.5 will be known as One UI 3.1.1

Starting this year, Samsung introduced the newer version of its custom software system – One UI 3.1. Just like the One UI 3.0, it is also based on the Android 11 operating system. The One UI 3.1 exclusively came pre-installed with the Galaxy S21 series, while nowadays mid-range phones are also coming with this version.

It is worth mentioning that last year Samsung launched the One UI 2.5 version alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series. However, this year things may be changed as the company is not in the mood to launch the Galaxy Note 21 series, and postponed it to next year.

Meanwhile, the South Korean tech giant will surely release another iteration of the One UI, which will also be based on the Android 11 OS. As the new Galaxy Note phones will not be unveiled this year, but the company is rapidly working to introduce innovative foldable smartphones within the third quarter of 2021.

Therefore, some leaks have also confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2/3 will be equipped with the Android 11-based One UI 3.5 version. And just like the previous generations, Samsung will also deliver the One UI 3.5 features to its eligible flagship and mid-range phones as well as tablets via firmware updates.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2 are likely to exclusively come with One UI 3.5 out of the box.

Update:

  • Samsung started One UI 3.5 firmware development for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 (Read More)
  • Firmware development for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2 has begun! (Read More)

Samsung rushes to secure US CHIPS subsidies before Trump takes office

Samsung Chip Biden US

Samsung is rushing to secure its $6.4 billion subsidies under the US CHIPS Act. After Intel and TSMC, the Biden-led outgoing government finalized subsidies for a US-based firm, Micron.

On December 10, the US Department of Commerce announced that it would provide Micron with $6.165 billion in subsidies, the same amount as stated in the preliminary PMT signed in April.

Micron plans to use these subsidies to build semiconductor plants in New York and Idaho.

Samsung had agreed to invest $44 billion and receive $6.4 billion in subsidies. Meanwhile, Samsung and SK Hynix remain the only major companies yet to finalize their subsidy agreements.

Reports say South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are in final negotiations with the US government to secure subsidies under the CHIPS and Science Act before Trump takes office.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo previously stated that the goal is to allocate all subsidies before the end of this administration.

During his election campaigns, Donald Trump criticized the CHIPS subsidies introduced by Joe Biden. As Trump’s presidency nears, there’s a risk of cancellation of subsidies and increased tariffs.

Samsung plans to use the subsidy to build a semiconductor plant in Taylor, Texas. This foundry plant is expected to begin producing 2nm and 4nm products in 2026.

The foundry plant Samsung is building in the US relies heavily on securing customers. Given the current situation, it might not be easy to proceed with the investment as planned.

There is a possibility that the subsidies might decrease slightly from the one initially offered to Samsung. Intel has also agreed to receive $600 million less in subsidies than initially planned.

Samsung gathers executives to plan Galaxy S25 strategy for 2025

Samsung Galaxy S25 Magnetic cases

Samsung will hold this year’s second Global Strategy Meeting next week. Samsung is reportedly gathering executives to plan the Galaxy S25 series strategy for 2025 as well as risk management to seamlessly function all activities.

According to Chosun, Samsung may hold a Global Strategy Meeting from December 17 to 19, where plans for the Galaxy S25 series and risk management are said to be discussed.

The institutional sector for Samsung’s DX Division will hold a global strategy meeting on the 17th and 18th, while the institutional sector for the DS Division will meet on the 19th.

This isn’t a surprise meeting Samsung is preparing for, but it takes place every June and December. The timeline for these meetings aligns with the prior flagship launch to prepare a strategy.

Samsung will be gathering top global executives to share issues by business and regional categories. The meeting will discuss next year’s business goals and sales strategies for the upcoming flagships.

Han Jong-hee, head of the DX institutional sector (Vice Chairman), and Jeon Young-hyun, head of the DS institutional sector (Vice Chairman), are expected to lead the meetings.

Jay Y. Lee, Samsung Elec’s boss and chairman of the board, is unlikely to attend the meetings in person but will receive reports on business strategies later.

South Korea has recently witnessed a sudden martial law implication and quick revocation. It puts a sharp burden on Korean manufacturers as the currency is weakening over the USD.

Samsung will launch Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra early next year. The prices of these devices may be hiked due to increased exchange rates, resulting in additional material costs.
