This massive Samsung LED wall is 17 meters in diameter and eight meters high, with a total area of 420 square meters, which is the largest LED screen of its kind in an amusement park set up by Samsung all over the world.
Furthermore, this new flagship attraction is created with 800 LED cabinets from the Samsung Indoor IFR series and offers 21K resolution for hyper-realistic immersion. It offers optimized scenes for high contrast to display detailed, lifelike images due to HDR LED tech. Also, it allows premium picture quality with its highest peak light output of 2400 nits, and a static contrast rate of 12,000:1.
The four sections of the screen slide down to let spectators in and out and watch two live stage shows through sliding doors. Whereas, the IFR solution’s flexible design properties make it suitable for any location, perfectly aligning with the circular dimensions needed for this unique attraction.
With Europe’s largest 360-degree circular LED signage in France, Samsung enabled FMD to impress Futuroscope guests with a mesmerizing audiovisual experience unlike any other. You can watch the full video to know more about the new creation below –
Samsung starts rolling out a June 2024 update (CXE7) to the Galaxy S23 series in India and South Korea. Last week, the company began the rollout of this latest patch to the S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra, which also expanded to the US variants.
In the latest developments, Samsung expanded the Galaxy S23 lineup’s June 2024 update to India and South Korea. The software update’s release notes mention nothing more than security improvements and functional enhancements.
Last week, it was revealed that the June 2024 security patch fixes 37 high-level CVEs for Android and 22 SVE items for Samsung’s One UI. You can install it on your Galaxy S23 device by going to the Settings app, tapping on Software Update, and selecting Download and Install.
Galaxy S23 Series
Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 series with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip and Android 13 out of the box. The device has received a major OS upgrade, while three more remain. Earlier, the company rolled out One UI 6.1 with Galaxy AI features to smartphones.
As far as the Android 15 is concerned, the One UI 7 update will arrive later this year. Meanwhile, some users may get their hands on the new software through the Beta Program. Samsung might release One UI 7 Beta for Galaxy S24 series in August this year.
Samsung is building a new AI Joint Research Center in South Korea. The company announced the establishment of an AI Joint Research Center with Seoul National University. The research site will focus on strengthening technology and product competitiveness in the AI sector.
The new Samsung AI Joint Research Center will be located at Seoul National University’s Global Campus Education Center in Seoul, South Korea. Samsung’s DX Division will collaborate with Seoul’s AI-related institute on research projects in AI fields over the next three years.
Samsung Prez Kyung-Hoon Jeon said, “Through the agreement to establish an AI joint research center between Seoul National University and Samsung, we expect that Samsung will be able to solidify its technological and product competitiveness in the AI field and contribute to securing excellent talent in the future AI research field.”
The Korean tech giant expects to secure core AI technologies and strengthen product technology competitiveness through industry-academia collaboration with Seoul National University in the rapidly changing AI field. There will also be a recruitment drive to foster AI talent.
Focus on On-Device AI and Multi-Modal AI
Samsung has already integrated various AI technologies into Galaxy AI, such as Circle to Search, real-time translation, and Photo Assist. The company is also expanding its AI technology application to other products with the launch of Bespoke AI and AI TV.
Accessing the extended Quick Settings is a two-tap task on Samsung phones. One UI 7 update might make it a one-touch task to access the extended Quick Settings panel. There’s an assumption that the company might boost the home screen swipe usability with the next big update.
According to a Korean community moderator, Samsung may review the possibility of a one-touch Quick Settings panel with the One UI 7 update. Currently, a single swipe down on the home screen triggers the Notification panel and the prioritized Quick Setting toggles.
Another swipe on the notification panel extends the Quick Settings panel. This is the page where you get most of the necessary toggles and settings to be enabled or disabled. The pagination functionality further expands the usability of the extended view of the Quick Settings panel.
With the One UI 7 update, Samsung brought a feature to directly access extended Quick Settings through swiping on the top right corner. However, users could be able to tweak the feature further through Good Lock’s QuickStar, bringing the full panel by swiping down anywhere on the screen.
One UI 7.0 𝗺𝗮𝘆 support Homescreen swipe down to reveal FULL Quick Settings‼️
Samsung may support swiping down on the homescreen to reveal the full Quick settings panel (as opposed to just notifications) in One UI 7.0 with QuickStar

At present, the change is under consideration and there is no guarantee of deployment. Developers will be required to make changes across the One UI Home and Good Lock’s QuickStar app. Still, we expect Samsung should bring this fruitful change given user satisfaction.
Samsung is currently preparing for the next month’s Galaxy Unpacked. Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 software will debut with the upcoming foldables. Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta will likely kick off in early August, while Stable release may start later this year.
