Samsung Lee Jae-yong

As reported recently, Samsung boss Lee Jae-yong has recently been released from a South Korean prison and is now on parole. Till the date of his parole, Lee served a total of 207 days in jail, which is just half of the sentence he received over the charges of bribery and embezzlement in January.

Outside the prison, Lee made a brief statement to reporters:

“I’ve caused much concern for the people. I deeply apologise,” Lee said. “I am listening to the concerns, criticisms, worries and high expectations for me. I will work hard.”

Around a week ago, the South Korean ministry of justice announced that after considering the national credit risk, global economy, and other conditions, it has decided to release Samsung Lee Jae-yong on parole. However, Lee is expected to be released from prison on August 13.

Lee still can’t take over Samsung?

South Korean media report revealed that Lee won’t be able to return to his business post after his release because it is parole and not a pardon. Furthermore, he will be restricted from employment for the next five years and won’t be able to take over Samsung’s management affairs.

Back in 2016, Lee Jae-yong was involved in the bribery case of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye and was arrested on February 17, 2017. He was accused of bribing an organization controlled by Park Geun-hye’s close friend Choi Soon-sil to ensure support for the merger of Samsung’s two subsidiaries.

Samsung Galaxy S25’s 3nm Exynos 2500 to beat Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in power efficiency

Published

Samsung Exynos 2400

Samsung’s first 3nm Exynos 2500 chip could outpace Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in power efficiency. Both chipsets will power the next-gen Galaxy flagships, scheduled for an early 2025 launch. Recent input suggests that Exynos is returning as a tough rival to Snapdragon.

The Exynos 2500 will be made on Samsung’s 2nd-gen 3nm process technology. The S24’s Exynos 2400 chipset impressed the industry with significant improvements over its predecessor. The company appears to be leveling up the game next year.

Thanks to the cutting-edge process node, Samsung’s next Exynos could finally surpass its Snapdragon counterpart in power efficiency. The company may utilize its advanced FOWLP in the Exynos 2500 to make it run at higher clock speeds at the same power consumption level.

Qualcomm is facing power efficiency concerns with its recent Snapdragon chips. Due to reduced efficiency, phone makers are forced to bring up to 5000mAh battery. Samsung apparently seized this opportunity to bring back its in-house Exynos back to the contest.
