Samsung plans 2023

Globally, Samsung will be shipping Galaxy S23 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The company is working on the development of a Galaxy-exclusive AP, and Exynos 2300 has reportedly shifted to Galaxy FE devices.

Meanwhile, there’s concern that Galaxy S23’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 might not perform. It was first reported in November that Snapdragon APs that will be used in Galaxy S23 devices are being manufactured by Samsung.

As we’ve seen in the benchmark reports, the Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra use Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, but, an overclocked variant. The standard has a frequency of 3.2GHz, while Samsung’s 8 Gen 2 is clocked at 3.36Ghz.

Earlier, Qualcomm’s CFO revealed that the company has signed a multi-year partnership with Samsung. However, it looks like the partnership is not limited to just bringing upcoming Galaxies with Snapdragon variants worldwide.

Both of the technology giants may have dealt with 100% usage of Snapdragon chips in favor of production orders at Samsung Foundry. Production line and method are the crucial things that finalize the performance and efficiency.

Snapdragon at Samsung Foundry

The Korean tech giant’s chip foundry has produced the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors. However, Qualcomm replaced Samsung with TSMC due to heating and performance throttling reports in devices.

The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, which is being manufactured by TSMC outperformed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 along with resolving issues like heating and performance throttling.

It’s also true that Samsung’s own made Exynos never became a tough competitor to Qualcomm chipsets. And eventually, Exynos flagship chips have been removed from Samsung’s flagship smartphone lineup.

The GPU performance throttling issue even forced Samsung to officially apologize at the shareholders’ meeting. Not that all, that controversy made radical attacks on the worldwide sales of the Galaxy S23 series devices.

Samsung is reportedly unveiling Galaxy S23 series on February 1, while release is likely to happen a week later. All devices will be equipped with overclocked Qualcomm chips, but it may not be as performer as standard version.

Samsung Battery Packs

Samsung has unveiled two new battery packs with powerful performance using recycled materials. The launch, scheduled for the 19th, introduces the PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh and the PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh. Both of these battery incorporate 30% UL-certified recycled plastic in their design, marking a stride in reducing carbon emissions.

The ‘PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh’ offers a high capacity for charging, with a maximum output of 45W and three USB-C ports, allowing for simultaneously charging multiple devices. However, the actual charging speed may vary based on several factors, including the devices connected and charging conditions.

On the other hand, the ‘PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh’ provides the convenience of wireless charging, along with a wired charging capability of up to 25W. It comes with two USB-C ports, making it possible to charge up to three devices at once when combining wired and wireless charging.

Both battery packs comply with the USB PD 3.0 standard, ensuring quick and efficient charging for Samsung Galaxy products and other compatible devices.

Samsung LPDDR5X DRAM

The LPDDR6 market is expected to bloom as early as next year, as the new on-device AI memory is on the way with the latest LPDDR6 standard finalization taking place in Q3 2024. If the standard is confirmed in the third quarter, LPDDR will secure a new standard for the first time in five years.

Going toward the details, the International Semiconductor Standard Organization (JEDEC) recently held discussions on the next-generation mobile RAM standard. The meeting proceeded with the finalization process to finalize the LPDDR6 standard.

An official in the semiconductor industry said,

  • “We have held various discussions to confirm the LPDDR6 standard specification,” and it will be released in the third quarter of this year.”

To be mentioned, the JEDEC is a private organization that establishes semiconductor standards, that is, sizes and specifications, and more than 60 people from memory, system semiconductor, and design asset (IP) companies participated in this Lisbon meeting.

Furthermore, the LPDDR6 standard will be established with a focus on improving data processing performance as the demand for on-device AI to perform large-scale AI calculations on smartphones, laptops, and tablet PCs is rapidly increasing. In addition, the power consumption standard will also be improved.

However, once the LPDDR6 standard is confirmed, major memory manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are expected to begin commercializing their products in earnest.
