Samsung One UI 5.0 brings Notification permission feature
While many Galaxy device users are still waiting to use the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 version of Samsung’s custom OS, the Galaxy S22 series phones received the first beta update to test the new changes, a couple of weeks ago.

Samsung One UI 5.0 Beta introduces a lot of new features, one among those is Notification permission. This is the Korean company’s other step to improve the notification section and deliver only the notifications which you need.

Our smartphones carry a bunch of applications, which are useful for various tasks. There are even some pre-installed apps that we don’t use and when we wish to uninstall them, they can’t be uninstalled, however, can be disabled so they won’t take up space on your app drawer.

All of these apps send notifications and have their own way to deliver one. Whether it is a notification for an application or system update, a chat, or anything else, app notifications are great for knowing that something new has happened to one of them.
But it is not necessary that each Application notification is important or necessary. We usually like notifications for some social media apps, Gmail, missed calls, text messages, or sometimes our subscribed YouTube channels.
Others are useless notifications that just fill our notification panel and confuse us. Although we can disable those app notifications by accessing Settings, it’s more convenient to have the app itself ask you for permission to send the notification.
Samsung One UI 5.0 Notification permission features do exactly the same. When you use an app for the first time, it will ask you whether you want to receive notifications from it or not. You can say no to apps if you don’t want them to disturb you by sending worthless notifications.
One UI 5.0 gives you more control over your phone’s notifications. You can allow apps that you regularly use to send you notifications and disable those other app notifications in just a click. It’s really handy to use.
The most anticipated One UI 7 Beta Program kicked off yesterday. Among the most highlighting advancements, Samsung announced that the One UI 7.0 allows you to transfer recovered, private data to a new device.
Leveraging Knox Matrix, the new software brings a new recovery method for Enhanced Data Protection. Samsung’s One UI 7.0 adds ease and convenience to the process of retrieving data stored on Samsung Cloud.
Samsung’s Enhanced Data Protection feature keeps connected devices synchronized and secure, as well as ensures that if access to a trusted device is lost, users have a backup plan to prevent the loss of their data.
With One UI 7.0, Samsung Galaxy smartphone users will be able to transfer recovered, private data to a new device by verifying the lock screen factor — whether pin, pattern, or password — of their previous device.
Simply put, you will gain access to the recovered data on your new device by the lock screen factor using the security pick of your old device. The feature may safely store your security factor to ease the verification process during recovery.
You may find it less useful, but it will become a boon in case you are about to lose your data. Knox Matrix is a vision for the future, enhancing protection through multi-layered, intelligent threat monitoring between connected Samsung devices.
Apart from this, Samsung users can now also create and use passkeys to log into their Samsung Account. As digital authentication credentials, passkeys enable a faster, easier way to securely log in to apps, devices, and websites.
One UI 7 introduces even more ways users can adjust security settings to best suit how they use their devices. Read more here: One UI 7 introduces advanced security and privacy features for Samsung devices
TSMC could commence mass production of cutting-edge 2nm products next year. While Samsung is facing issues with its 3nm process tech, its Taiwanese rival is set to widen the gap further.
Taiwan’s LibertyTimes reports that TSMC has decided to operate mass production of 2nm products after the test production yield of its 2nm process exceeded 60%.
Currently, the most advanced mass-production technology worldwide is 3nm. With the 2nm process yield surpassing 60%, TSMC plans to transfer it to the newly constructed Kaohsiung plant.
TSMC plans to build 10 new factories in Taiwan and overseas simultaneously next year. Details of these capital investments will be disclosed during the Q4 earnings briefing.
Samsung vs TSMC – Foundry Market
TSMC’s capital expenditure is expected to reach up to $38 billion in 2025. If this happens, the expenditure will surpass the previous record of $36.29 billion.
The company has widened its lead over second-place Samsung in the global foundry market during the third quarter, meanwhile, Samsung saw its market share fall from 11.5% to 9.3.
The gap between Samsung Foundry and TSMC expanded from 50.8% in Q2 to 55.6% in Q3.
TrendForce explained, “TSMC saw increased capacity utilization and wafer shipments driven by flagship smartphone products and AI semiconductors, whereas Samsung Electronics faced intensified competition with Chinese firms in mature process technologies, leading to price cuts and a subsequent decline in revenue and market share compared to the previous quarter.”
Nanometer
The term “nanometer” (nm) refers to the width of semiconductor circuits. The narrower the width, the lower the power consumption and the faster the processing speed.
TSMC’s 2nm factories are being built at the Nanzih Science Park in Kaohsiung and are scheduled to begin operations in the first and third quarters of next year, respectively.
