Samsung One UI 3.1 update rollout is in full swing as a number of Galaxy devices are already updated to this version of One UI while some are still waiting to grab it over the air. The 3.1 version of the One UI is based on Google’s Android 11 operating system, which comes with a set of powerful and helpful features.

On the other hand, several OEMs were begun thinking to start the development of their custom software system because the Android 12 is now live for developers and Google is scheduled to kick off its public beta program in May 2021.

Note: One UI 3.5 is replaced with One UI 3.1.1.

In this article, we will put every single piece of authentic information whenever it comes to the light.

Samsung One UI 3.1.1 Release Date – August 11

Last year, Samsung launched the One UI version 2.5 alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series, but there will be no new Note series this year, which was already canceled due to chip shortage. But, the company will introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 earlier than their predecessors to fill the gap of Note phones.

Samsung’s next-generation folding smartphones will exclusively come with the One UI 3.5 out of the box. Although the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 will be launched in August, this information is based on multiple rumors and leaks. But, it is confirmed that the company will also unveil the One UI 3.5 at the next Galaxy Unpacked event.

The Galaxy A series is designed to offer a fluid and reliable experience. The phones are ideal for various routines, catering to a wide range of activities such as entertainment, browsing and gaming.

Samsung’s Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 come with premium features like high-performance processors, powerful cameras, and long-lasting battery to work as true partners for everyday life.

Galaxy A55 and A35’s next-gen Exynos chip offers powerful performance, capable of running apps, games, and multimedia as well as ensuring fast responses and smooth transitions between tasks.

Biden rushes CHIPS Act deals ahead of Trump’s presidency

Published

on

Samsung Chip Biden US

Samsung is trying to secure CHIPS Act subsidies before Donald Trump takes charge. Joe Biden introduced CHIPS and Science Act to boost semiconductor business on American soil. However, the President-elect is a big critic of the CHIPS Act.

Bloomberg reports that the Biden administration is rushing to finalize CHIPS Act agreements with Intel and Samsung. Notably, Samsung and Intel are set to receive direct subsidies of $6.4 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively.

During his election campaign, President-elect Trump heavily mocked the CHIPS and Science Act. It is expected that Trump could put tariff on semiconductor manufacturers and nullify subsidies before disbursment.

Concerns have arisen that semiconductor companies, which have invested heavily in the U.S. over the past four years, might not receive subsidies, or that U.S. companies like Intel could be prioritized.

Intel is an American company, which could be unaffected by Trump’s presidency. As the President-elect prefers an “America First” policy, it’s an alarming situation for Samsung Electronics, which bases its headquarters in South Korea.

Since the CHIPS and Science Act is considered a key industrial policy of the Biden administration, this move is seen as an effort to finalize binding contracts and distribute promised subsidies before the administration changes.

Google Messages sensitive content warnings

Samsung Galaxy S24 was the tenth top-selling phone in the third quarter of 2024. The device has cracked a 6-year streak, joining the Top 10 crew in an important timeframe despite the Apple iPhone’s global dominance.

Apple reigns supreme in Q3:

Counterpoint Research revealed that iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro were the top three best-selling phones in the world. Apple managed to secure the top three positions during the iPhone 16’s release quarter.

Galaxy S24 cracks Top 10 during iPhone’s quarter:

For the first time since 2018, an Android flagship ranked in the top 10 best-selling phones in the third quarter. Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series in January (first quarter) this year, but the handset still selling well.

In a shocking twist, the vanilla Galaxy S24 ranked as the tenth best-selling phone. This marks the first time since 2018 that an Android flagship (from Samsung) has broken into the top ten during the third quarter of the year.

Analysts note that the sales of the Galaxy S24 series have been mainly driven by a strong marketing focus on its GenAI capabilities. Earlier, MX Prex TM Roh also highlighted Samsung’s reliance on the Galaxy S24 series for another quarter.

Counterpoint Research Q3 2024 Top 10 Best Selling Smartphones

Galaxy A series is rocking, as always:

Interestingly, four Galaxy A phones secured a ranking in the top-10 list. The Galaxy A15 4G was the world’s best-selling “Android” phone in Q3 2024. The Galaxy A15 5G was the second best-selling Android and fifth best-selling phone worldwide.

The Galaxy A35 5G and A05 ranked sixth and seventh in the Top 10 chart during 3Q24. The iPhone 14, Redmi 13C 4G and Galaxy S24 ranked eighth, ninth, and tenth, respectively. Repeating: Apple’s iPhone 15 was the best-selling phone globally in Q3 2024.
