Samsung to invest a huge amount on 27 research projects
Samsung is supporting young scientists who are in their 30s and 40s, with the intention to secure core technology that will contribute to developing and bringing new innovations to basic science, keeping an aim in mind to solve human problems.
As reported by ‘businesskorea‘, the Samsung Science and technology foundation and Samsung Electronics announced on April 5 that they have selected 27 research projects to be supported through the Samsung Future Technology Development Project beginning from the first half of 2022.

Samsung is going to invest 48.6 billion won beginning in the first half of 2022 to support 27 research projects, which include the development of next-generation semiconductor technologies and the identification of the aging mechanism.
This selective field includes twelve fields from basic sciences, eight fields of materials, and seven fields of Integrate Core Technology. Among the researchers 12 are newly selected and under the age of 43, including other 6 in their 30s.
Amongst the ongoing research projects in the field of basic science, one of the interesting projects is the study done in the field of life science. Professor ‘Kang Chan-hee’ of Seoul National University is studying the cause of the accelerated aging of the peripheral cells by senescence-associated small metabolites (SASMs).
The Samsung Future Technology Development Project is a non-profit research support project that is simply inspired by addressing day-to-day problems and social issues. Samsung is doing this since 2013. Nurturing the world of science and creating world-class scientists and engineers.
Galaxy S25 renders reveal the design decisions of Samsung’s next flagship. Recently, we got our first look at the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it’s turn for the vanilla model of Samsung’s 2025 flagship lineup.
The Galaxy S25 could feature a 6.17-inch display that could be marketed as 6.2-inch. Despite sporting the same screen size, the phone could be slightly smaller than the S24. This improvement was seemingly made possible by minimizing bezel.
In addition, the Galaxy S25 is said to be slightly smaller and sleeker than its predecessor. The dimensions could measure roughly 146.9 x 70.4 x 7.2mm. The frame could look like the iPhone, featuring a flat frame – the same as the S25 Ultra.

The left frame remains vacant, while you get volume rockers and a power key on the right. The bottom side features a primary mic, USB C-Type port, and speaker grille. The top boasts a secondary microphone for clear calling.
The renders are crafted based on CAD data, which is subject to modification. We don’t expect any major change on the front (display) side of the device. The camera design, specifically the textured ring, could be altered in the next set of renders.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025. The company is said to be using Snapdragon chipset internationally. Due to yield concerns and performance gap with Snapdragon, Exynos 2400 is difficult to ee utilized.
Samsung today pushed the One UI 6.1.1 for 2023 flagships in South Korea. Samsung will likely expand the One UI 6.1.1 update to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series in the US next week.
The Korean tech giant has not officially disclosed a certain release timeline. Previous records suggest that the US variants of the Galaxy S23 series, Z Flip 5, Z Fold 5, and Tab S9 series will get One UI 6.1.1 in the US next week.
To solidify the claim, we refer to the recent revelation from Telus. The Canadian carrier is expected to roll out the One UI upgrade to many Galaxies on September 15. We wish Samsung to go beyond expectations and push the update earlier.
On September 5, Samsung announced the expansion of One UI 6.1.1 to the S24 series. The company upgraded the S24 series in South Korea on September 6th, followed by Asia, Europe, and the United States on September 9th.
The update also adds Galaxy AI-powered Composer feature. When you need to write something, you can start by giving Samsung Keyboard’s new Composer a short request or snippet of text, then let Galaxy AI do the rest.
Apart from new Galaxy AI features, Samsung’s new One UI 6.1.1 allows you to design your profile card with your name and picture that other Galaxy users can see when you call them or when they view your contact info.
Samsung started mass production of 1TB QLC 9th-gen V-NAND semiconductor to gain an edge in the AI era. This achievement suggests Samsung is solidifying its leadership in the high-capacity, high-performance NAND flash market.
As the enterprise SSD market shows rapid growth with stronger demand for AI applications, Samsung will continue to solidify its leadership in the segment through our QLC and TLC 9th-gen V-NAND.
The South Korean tech giant plans to expand applications of the QLC 9th-generation V-NAND, starting with branded consumer products and extending into mobile Universal Flash Storage (UFS), PCs and server SSDs for customers.
Samsung’s QLC 9th-gen V-NAND brings several innovations. The area of the cells and the peripheral circuits have been optimized via TLC 9th-gen V-NAND. Adopting Designed Mold has improved data retention performance by nearly 20%.
In addition, the company’s QLC 9th-gen V-NAND has doubled write performance and improved data input/output speed by 60%. Data read and write power consumption decreased by about 30% and 50% respectively.
Summary:
The latest QLC V-NAND combines several breakthrough technologies, including Channel Hole Etching which enables the highest layer count in the industry with a double stack structure. Industry-first QLC and TLC 9th-gen V-NAND delivers optimum memory across various AI applications.
