Samsung One UI 4.1

Each element of the upgrade is designed with your user experience in mind, including UI upgrades, new Smart Widget features and updates to the gallery and photo editor, as well as S Pen enhancements to increase your productivity.

One UI 4.1 Smart Widgets

In addition, with the introduction of innovative Smart Widgets, users can stack up to 7 smart widgets (including third-party apps) that can be viewed by swiping left or right. Smart Rotation provides timely and meaningful information by analyzing user contexts and behaviors as well as automatically displaying the most relevant stacked widgets.

Up to three glance widgets display the most relevant widgets based on user scenarios and widgets are automatically shown or dismissed. For instance, if you have a calendar event in the next 30 minutes – an upcoming events widget will appear, informing the event’s user of the time remaining for the event and related information.

If the user clicks on an upcoming widget to check for an event or the time for the event has elapsed, the upcoming event widget will automatically disappear.

How to customize your own One UI 4.1-based Smart Widget?

To access and customize your own One UI 4.1 Smart Widgets:

  • Press and hold the home screen to pull up your home screen editor.
  • Select Widgets> Smart Widgets, and then select the widget style you want.
  • Depending on the genre, you may have access to more features.

For instance, the 4×1 widget does not show a calendar, while the 2×2 widget shows you a list of upcoming events and the 4×2 widget displays an additional month and day.

  • Place the widget on your home screen. Tap and hold down the widget to edit the current widget, add or remove the current widget, or access the settings.

Select Settings to add, remove or rearrange your widgets. Select the Automatic Rotate Widget so that the Smart Widget shows you the widget that feels relevant at specific times.

Samsung Lee Jae-yong

Samsung considering trimming down the Foundry workforce by 30% this year. The company has reportedly started a four-round voluntary retirement program.

In an unprecedented move, Samsung kicked off a four-round voluntary retirement program, reports DigiTimes. This move aims to reduce the workforce at Samsung Foundry by 30% by the end of the year.

“Samsung Electronics has launched an unprecedented four-round voluntary retirement program, aiming to cut more than 30% of its foundry workforce.” – DigiTimes.

Recently, Jay Y. Lee completed two years as Samsung Electronics Chairman. The official just returned from its overseas trip to solidify business growth. Samsung Foundry is currently in a massive crisis, requiring immediate action.

It is reported that Samsung Foundry may flag significant losses this year. The company failed to attract major clients for contract manufacturing. At the same time, its advanced process nodes end up falling short of the production threshold.

Samsung’s memory semiconductor business, known as a cash cow, is also facing intense competition. The MX Division is doing a good job, but other divisions must have to stand rock solid to maintain a harmonious growth momentum.

Samsung Foundry may split from Samsung – Advantages and Challenges

Published

on

Synopsis Samsung 2nm

Samsung Foundry may become a separate firm in 3 to 5 years. The company has established a task force within the business that is responsible to sequentially split the Samsung Foundry division from Samsung Electronics.

Korea’s TopDaily reports that Samsung Foundry may split from Samsung Electronics. The task force has three to five years to complete a smooth spin-off. With this strategic move, the company aims to attract major clients.

Samsung Foundry Spin-off

Samsung launched the Foundry division as an independent business in 2017. Since then, the company has been focussing on ambitious investments to foster business growth. However, the division is set to post significant losses this year.

The market has long demanded that Samsung spin off its Foundry business. Industry insiders believe that splitting the foundry business would be beneficial for attracting clients, as greater independence would help secure customer contracts.

Should Samsung spin off the Foundry division?

Separating Foundry from Electronics would be quite challenging for Samsung. The company will be requiring massive funding to spin off the Foundry business. The funding from other firms will significantly affect their performance and growth rate.

Reports say tens of trillions of KRW (billions of dollars) investment will be needed for Samsung Foundry. That said, it will be more advantageous for the foundry to remain under Samsung’s umbrella and secure growth.

How separation will benefit?

After TSMC, Samsung Foundry is the second-largest semiconductor foundry in the world. The company is involved in both memory and system semiconductors. Additionally, it also operates in Foundry and Fabless businesses.

Meanwhile, these advantages are somehow backfiring Samsung Foundry. It is speculated that foundry clients may find it burdensome to entrust semiconductor designs—considered their trade secrets—to Samsung Elec and System LSI.

System LSI division runs a fabless business focused on 5G and AI chips, which competes to some extent with fabless companies like Qualcomm, NVIDIA, and Apple, which could be retained by Samsung Foundry after separation.
