Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 prototype waterdrop hinge design

Samsung is reportedly considering two kinds of hinges for the next Galaxy Z Fold smartphone. At the CES 2023, Samsung showcased a Galaxy Fold prototype with a waterdrop (droplet) hinge design, which could be commercialized with the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

As displayed at the Samsung CES 2023 booth, the Galaxy Fold with a waterdrop hinge design looks quite thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The company executive showcased the prototype of a smartphone having a droplet hinge and Galaxy Z Fold 4 side by side.

If the hinge design used by the prototype becomes reality, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could be defined as a masterpiece by Samsung in terms of design. This hinge could not only reduce the thickness but make the foldable sleek and lightweight.

Past leaks promise that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a dedicated slot for S Pen, which is delayed since the Galaxy Z Fold 4 production. Moreover, there will be a completely new camera hardware arrangement, including a massive 108MP primary sensor.

Samsung is likely to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable smartphones during the August 2023 Unpacked event. Ahead of this, the Korean tech giant is preparing to showcase the Galaxy S23 series at the February 1st Unpacked.

Samsung’s reluctance to innovate continues with Galaxy S25 FE chip choice

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus

Galaxy S25 Edge is joining the S25 lineup as the fourth model next month. Meanwhile, Samsung could also be planning to debut the Fan Edition later this year. Latest revelation hints at an aged Exynos 2400e processor in the Galaxy S25 FE.

As discovered by AndroidAuthority, Samsung may reuse the Exynos 2400e processor in the Galaxy S25 FE. Notably, it is an underclocked version of Exynos 2400 used in the Galaxy S24 series, which Samsung used in the Galaxy S24 FE.

Samsung Foundry issues led to Exynos 2500 being abandoned from the S25 lineup. Later, it was rumored to launch with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which also seems uncertain. In the worst case, it was expected to be used in the S25 FE.

Exynos 2500 is in the works, which is being manufactured using Samsung’s 3nm node. The lower yield rate has also reportedly caused the delay in Z Flip FE launch, with the company now targeting Q4 2025 timeframe for the device.

Exynos 2400e

Samsung is reportedly working on a device codenamed R13, aligning with the S25 FE. It has been found that the product has the same Exynos 2400e chip (S5E9945) utilized in the R12 (Galaxy S24 FE) last year.

While Exynos 2500 is yet to enter the real world, Exynos 2400 and Exynos 2400e have proven to be decent processors in recent years. Consumers have no problems in everyday use, and the performance gap is also minimal.

CPU:

  • 10-core configuration with a tri-cluster architecture (ARMv9 cores):
    • 1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.11 GHz (prime core, slightly underclocked compared to 3.21 GHz on Exynos 2400)
    • 2x Cortex-A720 @ 2.9 GHz
    • 3x Cortex-A720 @ 2.6 GHz
    • 4x Cortex-A520 @ 1.95 GHz
  • GPU: Samsung Xclipse 940, based on AMD RDNA 3 architecture.

Samsung Rollable Phone renders

Nowadays, foldable phones are getting a lot of attention because of their cool design. At the moment, renders of Samsung’s rollable phone have appeared online, giving us a first look at its unique design.

According to the renders by @xleaks7, the design of the Samsung rollable phone is sleek and modern. Unlike foldable phones that flip or unfold, this rollable phone changes size by stretching out its screen when needed. It makes the phone easy to carry in your pocket

The phone features thin edges around the screen. However, the mechanism that lets the screen roll out makes the phone a little thicker than other Samsung models.

Moreover, the rear camera setup looks similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, with two lenses and a flash. The renders also show a volume rocker button on the right side.

Aside from the design, the phone will reportedly have several AI features, including instant translation, which lets you talk in your own language, and the phone will immediately show the other person’s response in your language. The AI can also summarize long messages for you, remind you when it’s time to leave for an appointment and edit photos by removing unnecessary objects and changing colors.

Additionally, the phone’s AI will automatically adjust camera settings to make sure you get the best pictures. It also has features that help games run smoothly by managing power and heat.

Notably, the new renders are based on the patent Samsung received from the US Patent and Trademark Office on April 15th. This new design could change the way we use phones, making them more flexible and fun to use.

Samsung Galaxy S22 finally gets its turn, One UI 7 previewed on video

Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S22 series will get its Android 15-based One UI 7 update next month, but a virtual demo sheds light on the latest changes and newly added features.

A video posted on Reddit shows off a Galaxy S22 Plus running One UI 7 via Samsung Remote Test Lab, highlighting the design revamp and new features.

The user also accessed the Galaxy AI section to see whether Samsung is upgrading this aspect, but, unfortunately, the 2022 flagships seem to be missing out on the AI upgrade.

The Galaxy S22 series is getting intelligent features like Now Bar and Live Notifications. However, these functionalities might be limited to Media Player activity.

App icons got a modern look with dynamic colors and a more eye-catching appearance. While the phone ran One UI 7 via RTL, the animations are radically broken and lag a lot.

Meanwhile, the real software experience will be a lot better than the RTL mimicry. Galaxy S22 series users can look forward to an elevated user experience with the One UI 7.0 update.

As per the roadmap, Samsung will roll out the One UI 7.0 update to the Galaxy S23, S22, and S21 series around the world in May 2025, while April is dedicated to recent flagships from 2024.

Report: Samsung begins OLED production for Galaxy Z Flip 7, Fold 7; Tri-Fold, Flip FE in pipeline

Published

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

Samsung has reportedly started OLED display production for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7. The company also plans to introduce two additional foldable phones in the second half of the year, a Tri-Fold and an affordable Flip phone.

According to TheBell, Samsung Display is producing OLED panels for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7. The company is keeping a Tri-Fold model and an affordable Z Flip FE in the pipeline, which could be introduced in the fourth quarter.

The report also revealed that the foldables may enter the mass production stage next month. These developments suggest that the company may introduce its new foldable devices around the same timeframe as their predecessors: July.

The front end of foldable OLED includes a bar-type OLED process in the front end, just things are different in the back-end. Samsung Display handles the front-end in South Korea and the back-end primarily in Vietnam.

The finished foldable OLEDs from Vietnam are then shipped to Samsung’s local factories.

These are going to be the seventh-generation foldables from Samsung. As Apple’s entry in the foldable market is likely next year, Samsung has already prepared to widen the gap by bringing affordable and tri-fold products this year.

Apple is highly likely to source foldable OLED for its future product from Samsung Display. The South Korean tech giant will have orders from Apple, giving it a push further to keep dominating the global mobile OLED market.

Galaxy S24 FE features Samsung’s most eye-friendly display, beats S25 Ultra

Published

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

Galaxy S24 FE reportedly brings a secret display trick that other Samsung phones lack. The company’s recent Fan Edition phone comes with an intelligent high-brightness mode feature that’s missing even in the S25 Ultra.

AndroidCentral’s Nicholas Sutrich found a secret display feature in the Galaxy S24 FE. The phone’s high brightness mode is different from the one found in other Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra flagship.

In-depth testing revealed that the Galaxy S24 FE switches to a DC-like dimming method in High Brightness Mode. It enables the phone to offer Samsung’s most eye-friendly screen experience to Galaxy consumers.

Using a light meter and flashlight to simulate sunlight, the S24 FE’s HBM activated, showing no PWM flicker.

While PWM dimming limits the brightness potential of the panel, the S24 FE’s hack turns out to be a game-changer. During testing, HBM on the S24 FE unlocked double the brightness compared to Samsung’s standard “100% brightness” setting.

Most modern phones activate HBM in bright sunlight to boost screen visibility. The Galaxy S24 FE takes it further by switching from PWM to DC dimming in HBM. This unlocks the display’s full brightness potential, unlike other Samsung phones.

PWM dimming rapidly turns pixels on and off to adjust brightness. Meanwhile, DC dimming, used by the S24 FE in HBM, adjusts voltage instead of flickering pixels.

The Galaxy S24 FE brings an improved display with DC dimming in HBM, offering eye-friendly visuals. Samsung should build on this by giving users control over dimming modes, making its phones truly user-centric.
