Samsung S22 January 2023update

Samsung not only makes smartphones, but it has a number of segments to serve consumers such as the chipset foundry. This year, Samsung’s chipset subsidiary crafted Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship chips using its 4nm process tech for Samsung and Qualcomm, respectively.

We saw failing Samsung’s own-made Exynos 2200 flagship chipset in various scenarios like performance, efficiency, and temperature balancing compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. Meanwhile, tipster IceUniverse now shared his opinion that Samsung 4nm process destroyed Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and powered devices.

Per the tipster, the 4nm process technology of the Samsung chipset division destroyed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. Due to the fabrication process, all the smartphones are also affected that is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

Aside from this, the same source further added that the Taiwanese processor maker TSMC saved the US chip manufacturer at a dangerous moment. It’s worth mentioning that Qualcomm managed to get the manufacturing of Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 done by TSMC using the 4nm process.

As the South Korean tech giant’s chipset craftmanship seems to be producing comparatively less-powerful mobile processors, it will occur a bad impact on its crown and reputation in addition to revenue.

However, if everything is not going fine in Samsung’s foundry, it needs to resolve ASAP, otherwise, Samsung’s craftsmanship will be ruled out for a long time to come. Do you think the same as IceUniverse? Let us know your opinion in the comments section.

Samsung is working on an XR headset, Project Moohan, which will offer a cool and interactive experience. The headset is mainly controlled with finger and hand gestures, but Samsung is also developing special motion controllers to improve the experience.

The motion controllers, with the model number ET-OI610, will work wirelessly and include motion sensors, just like other VR/AR controllers. They might not come with the headset but will help users get more accuracy, especially for activities like gaming.

The Project Moohan headset, which doesn’t have a final name yet, is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR series chipset and runs on Android XR. It will come with popular Google apps like Chrome, Google Maps, and YouTube.

Users will be able to run other Android apps too, but apps made specifically for XR will give a more immersive and full-screen experience. The headset also features several cameras and sensors, full RGB passthrough for seeing the real world around you, and OLEDoS displays with a high refresh rate for smoother visuals.

Additionally, the headset supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6 for faster, more reliable connections. It will be powered by an external battery pack that connects through a special USB Type-C cable.

Samsung 3 in 1 wireless charger

Last month, Samsung launched its new Galaxy S flagship series, which includes the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Galaxy S25 series phones arrive with Qi2 Ready. To go along with these phones, Samsung introduced several Qi2 accessories, one of which is a 3-in-1 Qi2 Wireless Charger.

This Samsung 3-in-1 Qi2 Wireless Charger was designed to charge three devices at once to make charging easier for users. These three devices include the Galaxy S25 phone, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

However, it looks like Samsung has decided to cancel this product. The company removed the product page for the charger, which often means that the product won’t be sold anymore.

At the moment, there is no official reason from Samsung for why the charger was cancelled. When companies take down a product page like this, it usually means the product won’t be available for sale. However, it’s also possible that Samsung is making changes to the charger, which is why they took down the page for now.

The 3-in-1 Qi2 Wireless Charger was listed for $129.99 in the US, but it was never actually sold anywhere. So, it’s unclear if Samsung will bring the product back in the future or if they have decided not to release it at all. We’ll have to wait for more details, stay tuned.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra running One UI 7 but has one big security flaw

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera

Samsung’s latest offering, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, features cutting-edge hardware and a refined software experience with its Android 15-based One UI 7 pre-installed. However, with the excitement, there’s a significant concern after its launch.

Everyone loved the S25 Ultra’s speed, camera, and how well it works with One UI 7. But, there’s a big security problem that might spoil the fun.

In recently released February 2025 Android security patch details, Google disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability that has been actively exploited. This vulnerability (which can be identified as CVE-2024-53104,) affects how Android devices handle video frames, potentially leading to memory instability that hackers could exploit. Google has encouraged all Android users to update their devices promptly to reduce this risk.

Unfortunately, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still running on the December 2024 security patch, leaving it vulnerable to this known exploit. This is particularly important because, unlike previous updates, it was urgent due to the active exploitation of the vulnerability.

Not having the newest security update on my S25 Ultra put me and other users at risk without knowing about it. This shows how important it is to get software updates quickly, especially for phones that are supposed to be the best in security (Sorry Knox!) and user experience.

Samsung now needs to act fast. The company must send out a quick update to fix this security vulnerability. People bought this phone expecting it to be very safe, so Samsung should keep its promise by protecting it from known threats.

Samsung usually reacts quickly to these problems, but the company is slow this time with the S25 Ultra (the S24 users crying in the background), which is concerning to me. The South Korean company needs to not only fix the issue but also keep their customers clearly informed about security updates.

In the end, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is great, but this security problem is a big mark against it. Users should watch for updates and install them right away. Samsung needs to make this fix a priority to keep users safe and keep its top phone’s reputation intact.

I reached out to Samsung for the official response on this but didn’t receive any confirmation yet.

Samsung Galaxy Ring

Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is already a promising wearable for tracking your fitness, like monitoring your heart rate and sleep. But the company plans to enhance it more. A new report indicates that the future Galaxy Ring can control the other devices.

A new patent from Samsung suggests that in the future, the Galaxy Ring could do much more instead of just fitness tracking. It could control your phone, tablet, and laptop screens. Even, Galaxy Ring may soon be able to move files between devices, all with a simple flick of your finger.

The patent (via 91Mobiles) shows a “screen control method” that allows the ring to act as an input device, which offers the ability to interact with connected displays in a seamless, intuitive manner. This means you could swipe, tap, or move files between devices like smartphones and laptops just by making gestures with the ring.

Future Galaxy Ring Patent

Right now, the Galaxy Ring is mainly popular for fitness tracking. But this new patent shows that Samsung might be ready to turn it into something much more useful in our daily tech lives.

In the past, Samsung also thought about adding cool features like making the ring automatically adjust to fit your finger perfectly.

Samsung Interior Fit Kit

Samsung has introduced a new product called the ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit,’ which makes installing system air conditioners much easier. It is mainly beneficial for homes with limited space between the inner and outer walls of the ceiling.

Previously, installing air conditioners required complicated work like cutting the ceiling, carpentry, and painting. These works took 2-3 days and often lowered the ceiling height to make the space look less appealing.

The new ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit’ replaces this complicated step-down construction as it allows the system air conditioner to be installed quickly and without affecting the look of the room.

The kit connects the air conditioner to the ceiling seamlessly, keeping the space looking neat and tidy. In addition, it uses Samsung’s wind-free system, which provides gentle, comfortable airflow.

This kit offers an easy installation process. It takes just one day to complete. The kit works by drilling a hole in the ceiling’s outer wall and then installing the air conditioner on top of the kit. It can be used with all models of Samsung’s home wind-free system air conditioners, which include AI features.

The kit is available at Samsung stores across Korea, with prices ranging from 180,000 to 190,000 won depending on the size.

A Samsung Electronics official said:

With the ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit,’ you can install a system air conditioner more easily and economically without damaging the interior,” and added, “We will continue to introduce innovative products and services so that more consumers can experience the AI ​​life through Samsung Electronics AI home appliances.
