One UI 4.0 Release Date – November 15, 2021

Samsung One UI 4.0: Features

Based on Android 12, the One UI 4.0 delivers even more personal, safe and effortless experiences on your device. Featuring a totally reimagined interface just for you, new privacy features that are designed for your safety and put you in control, and more seamless ways to get right to your gameplay or even switch to a new device.

Personalization – Starting with Android 12 on Pixel devices, you’ll be able to completely personalize your phone with a custom color palette and redesigned widgets. Using what we call color extraction, you choose your wallpaper and the system automatically determines which colors are dominant, which ones are complementary and which ones just look great. It then applies those colors across the entire OS: the notification shade, the lock screen, the volume controls, new widgets and much more.

Fluid motion and animations – From the moment you pick up an Android 12 device, you’ll feel how it comes alive with every tap, swipe and scroll. Your phone quickly responds to your touch with smooth motion and animations.

We’ve also simplified interactions and recrafted the entire underlying system to make your experience more fluid and efficient. Your Android devices are now faster and more responsive with better power efficiency so you can use your device for longer without a charge.

This was achieved by some under-the-hood improvements including reducing the CPU time needed for core system services by up to 22% and reducing the use of big cores by the system server by up to 15%.

Redesigned system spaces – Some of the most important spaces on your phone — like your notification shade, quick settings and even the power button — have been purposefully reimagined to help you get things done.

The notification shade is more intuitive and playful, with a crisp, at-a-glance view of your app notifications, whatever you’re currently listening to or watching, and Quick Settings that let you control practically the entire operating system with a swipe and a tap.

The Quick Settings space doesn’t just look and feel different. It’s been rebuilt to include Google Pay and Home Controls, while still allowing for customization so you can have everything you need most in one easy-to-access place.

To make sure you always have help from Google at your fingertips, you can now long press the power button to invoke Assistant to make a phone call, open apps, ask questions or read aloud text-heavy articles.

Private and secure by design – Android 12 includes new features that give you more transparency around which apps are accessing your data, and more controls so you can make informed choices about how much private information your apps can access.

The new Privacy Dashboard offers a single view into your permissions settings as well as what data is being accessed, how often and by which apps. It also lets you easily revoke app permissions right from the dashboard.

We’ve added a new indicator to the top right of your status bar so you know when your apps are accessing your microphone or camera. And if you want to remove app access to these sensors for the entire system, we’ve added two new toggles in Quick Settings.

We’re also giving you more control over how much information you share with apps. With new approximate location permissions, apps can be limited to seeing just your approximate location instead of a precise one. For example, weather apps don’t need your precise location to offer an accurate forecast.

Samsung rushes to secure US CHIPS subsidies before Trump takes office

Samsung Chip Biden US

Samsung is rushing to secure its $6.4 billion subsidies under the US CHIPS Act. After Intel and TSMC, the Biden-led outgoing government finalized subsidies for a US-based firm, Micron.

On December 10, the US Department of Commerce announced that it would provide Micron with $6.165 billion in subsidies, the same amount as stated in the preliminary PMT signed in April.

Micron plans to use these subsidies to build semiconductor plants in New York and Idaho.

Samsung had agreed to invest $44 billion and receive $6.4 billion in subsidies. Meanwhile, Samsung and SK Hynix remain the only major companies yet to finalize their subsidy agreements.

Reports say South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are in final negotiations with the US government to secure subsidies under the CHIPS and Science Act before Trump takes office.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo previously stated that the goal is to allocate all subsidies before the end of this administration.

During his election campaigns, Donald Trump criticized the CHIPS subsidies introduced by Joe Biden. As Trump’s presidency nears, there’s a risk of cancellation of subsidies and increased tariffs.

Samsung plans to use the subsidy to build a semiconductor plant in Taylor, Texas. This foundry plant is expected to begin producing 2nm and 4nm products in 2026.

The foundry plant Samsung is building in the US relies heavily on securing customers. Given the current situation, it might not be easy to proceed with the investment as planned.

There is a possibility that the subsidies might decrease slightly from the one initially offered to Samsung. Intel has also agreed to receive $600 million less in subsidies than initially planned.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Magnetic cases

Samsung will hold this year’s second Global Strategy Meeting next week. Samsung is reportedly gathering executives to plan the Galaxy S25 series strategy for 2025 as well as risk management to seamlessly function all activities.

According to Chosun, Samsung may hold a Global Strategy Meeting from December 17 to 19, where plans for the Galaxy S25 series and risk management are said to be discussed.

The institutional sector for Samsung’s DX Division will hold a global strategy meeting on the 17th and 18th, while the institutional sector for the DS Division will meet on the 19th.

This isn’t a surprise meeting Samsung is preparing for, but it takes place every June and December. The timeline for these meetings aligns with the prior flagship launch to prepare a strategy.

Samsung will be gathering top global executives to share issues by business and regional categories. The meeting will discuss next year’s business goals and sales strategies for the upcoming flagships.

Han Jong-hee, head of the DX institutional sector (Vice Chairman), and Jeon Young-hyun, head of the DS institutional sector (Vice Chairman), are expected to lead the meetings.

Jay Y. Lee, Samsung Elec’s boss and chairman of the board, is unlikely to attend the meetings in person but will receive reports on business strategies later.

South Korea has recently witnessed a sudden martial law implication and quick revocation. It puts a sharp burden on Korean manufacturers as the currency is weakening over the USD.

Samsung will launch Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra early next year. The prices of these devices may be hiked due to increased exchange rates, resulting in additional material costs.
