Samsung US deepens political ties with $315K Trump inauguration donation

On January 13, Samsung US donated $315,000 to the inauguration committee of President Donald Trump. Newly released Federal Election Commission data revealed significant contributions from South Korean and global tech giants.
According to KoreaTimes, Samsung Electronics donated a huge $315,000 to the Trump inauguration committee through Samsung Electronics America. This followed a $100,000 contribution to Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
Amazon, Nvidia, Google, and Meta are each donating $1 million. AI companies like Perplexity AI and chipmakers Micron and Qualcomm matched this amount. Apple CEO Tim Cook and OpenAI’s Sam Altman gave $1 million personally.
The record-breaking donations reflect efforts by global businesses to align with the new administration, especially amid Trump’s proposed tariff policies affecting industries like semiconductors and automotive.

Samsung hesitates on US chip factory amid TSMC’s billion-dollar losses

Samsung Taylor chip plant is near completion in the US. The company is gearing up to commence production at its new facility by the end of next year. Meanwhile, a new report raises concerns for Samsung given TSMC’s billion-dollar losses.
According to the report, TSMC’s Arizona subsidiary has reported cumulative losses of TWD 39.452 billion (approximately $1.21 billion) over the past four years, raising concerns for Samsung, which is building a foundry in Taylor, Texas, US.
The South Korean tech giant is reportedly hesitant to place equipment installation orders. While Samsung publicly maintains that the Taylor plant will begin operations in 2026, internal and external forecasts suggest low revenue.

The equipment installation may also face hurdles. The US government has announced a minimum 25% tariff on semiconductors. This increases the likelihood of high tariffs on semiconductor equipment, potentially exceeding 25%.
Samsung’s Korean foundry operations are already posting quarterly losses, and the situation would be even worse with its Taylor plant, where production and operating costs are higher, and Samsung has no major clients for contract production.

Exclusive: Samsung One UI 8 will focus on subtle refinements rather than sweeping design and feature overhauls

In the world of smartphone software, big changes and flashy new features often make the news. But for Samsung’s next big update, users should expect small improvements instead of big changes, according to trusted sources close to the company.
Our trusted Samsung insider, who previously told us about the release dates for upcoming One UI versions (which other news sites later confirmed), has shared exclusive details about Samsung’s plans for One UI 8, the next version of its Android software.
“One UI 8 won’t be what most would call a major update,” our source told us, asking to remain unnamed because they’re not allowed to talk about products that haven’t been released yet. “The team is focusing on making what’s already there better, not starting from scratch.”
This careful approach is a change for Samsung, which usually uses its yearly updates to bring big visual and feature changes. Instead, the upcoming One UI 8 will focus on making small improvements, better performance, and slight tweaks to features you already use.
“So far, we haven’t seen anything like the big jump users got with One UI 7,” our source confirmed. “The changes are smaller – things users will like when using their phone every day”
This isn’t bad news for Samsung users. The current One UI 7 has been liked by many for its good features and performance. By focusing on making things better rather than changing everything, Samsung seems to be listening to users who want reliable phones more than they want brand-new features.
This makes sense, as phones have improved over the years. Big changes to how phones work aren’t as needed now that people are used to how their devices work. For everyday Samsung users, this means switching to One UI 8 will probably feel easier than past updates. Features you’re used to should stay mostly the same, just faster and smoother.
This fits with Samsung’s recent push to support its phones with software for a longer time. Since people are keeping their phones longer before buying new ones, small, steady improvements might be better than big redesigns that force users to learn new ways of doing things.
Our source couldn’t tell us exactly what new features will come with One UI 8, saying that work is still happening and plans might change before release. But they did say that making phones run faster and improving battery life are still big priorities for the team.
Samsung usually shows off new One UI updates when they release new flagship phones or soon after, so we’ll probably get our first real look at One UI 8 later this year, most likely with the Galaxy Z Fold7 devices. Until then, Samsung users can relax knowing their next big update probably won’t be hard to get used to.
What’s the bottom line? Samsung seems to be following the “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” idea for One UI 8, choosing to make small improvements rather than big changes.

It can diagnose 24 different symptoms, including:
- Predicted low refrigerant in air conditioners
- Abnormal high temperatures in refrigerator compartments
- Inspection of washing machine communication modules
Interestingly, the company offers the “AI Proactive Care Notification” service to subscription care customers at no additional cost, with plans to expand the range of supported products and detectable symptoms in the future.

- Device diagnosis results
- Usage patterns
- Energy consumption
