Samsung One UI 4.1 has new ‘Vision Booster’ features

Published

on

Samsung Galaxy S22 series offers the ultimate exterior visibility with Vision Booster’s improved display brightness and intelligent algorithms. Advanced AI camera features make every experience epic and provide amazing shots from different angles and in different lighting conditions. Furthermore, it is the first model in the Galaxy S series with a built-in S pen.

With the advanced display features of the Galaxy S22 series, you will experience a visual improvement in any lighting conditions you encounter. Thanks to Vision Booster and Intelligent Adaptive Refresh Rate, you can enjoy bright videos and other media with better color contrast.

One UI 4.1 Vision Booster

One UI 4.1-based Vision Booster is a technology that provides tone mapping for better visibility against strong light in outdoor conditions. Vision Booster’s algorithm analyzes the histogram data of the entire content displayed on the display, observing the value of each pixel.

After that, it does tone mapping to adjust the display, making dark areas brighter and colors richer, increasing color contrast to sharp images even in direct sunlight.

Use a high refresh rate to prevent the screen from blinking when switching between screens. The screen scrolls more smoothly. When you select the standard refresh rate, you can use the battery longer.

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

Published

on

One UI 8.0

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.

Samsung Galaxy Camera Ocean Mode

Samsung’s Ocean Mode camera feature in the Galaxy S24 Ultra just hit a major milestone in marine conservation. The company announced that its “Coral in Focus” has achieved remarkable results over the past year.

Thanks to the Ocean Mode in Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung, in collaboration with SeaTrees, has restored 10,705 square meters of coral reefs. The company highlights that it’s an area equivalent to 25 basketball courts.

S24 Ultra’s Ocean Mode enables close-up photography, which helps in crafting 3D coral reef restoration maps. 17 such maps have been generated from photos taken using this mode that are crucial for understanding reef conditions.

It’s worth noting that the Korean tech giant has tailored an Ocean Mode feature. It is optimized for underwater photography of coral reefs. At present, the feature is available on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra flagship.

This mode has been provided to local activity groups working in major coral reef habitats, including Florida, USA; Bali, Indonesia; and Viti Levu, Fiji. These groups use phones to capture coral reefs to simplify monitoring and restoration.

Samsung deploys ‘hologram’ tech to boost 2.5D chip packaging yield, challenge TSMC’s AI lead

Published

By

Samsung Foundry

Samsung could soon deploy hologram tech to ramp up 2.5D chip packaging yield. The company’s DS Division has recently completed qualification tests for hologram equipment from Cubicsell on its mass production line.

Optical equipment firm Cubicsell will soon supply the hologram equipment to be deployed at the Samsung Cheonan facility; it’s the fabrication facility where the company has its 2.5D packaging line for chip inspection.

A report suggests that Samsung adopted hologram technology to meet the rising demand for 2.5D packaging. Holograms are 3D images created with light, which allow for depth analysis from various angles, unlike photographs.

Modern semiconductor products combine multiple chips for enhanced functionality, such as Nvidia’s AI chip “Blackwell,” which integrates a GPU and multiple high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips on a single substrate.

TSMC has secured significant 2.5D packaging orders from Nvidia, Intel, and AMD, dominating the high-end chip market. With hologram tech, Samsung aims to ramp up its Foundry contract manufacturing and secure orders from major tech firms.

A key semiconductor equipment industry source stated, “Samsung is making various attempts to improve foundry front-end and packaging yields, particularly focusing on capturing the high-performance chip market in China.”
