Samsung Galaxy S23

Samsung may not produce the 128GB storage variant of the Galaxy S23 smartphone for a long. Reportedly, the base variant of the Galaxy S23 (8GB RAM plus 128GB memory) lacks UFS 4.0 storage technology. Instead, the device uses an older UFS 3.1 storage, which would make the S23 slower than its siblings.

Here’s what you should do:

In case you are upgrading to the Galaxy S23 and wondering to purchase the cheapest device of the lineup, you have to spend a little bit more money from your pocket. The base model has slower storage, while the 256GB storage variant offers the next-gen UFS 4.0.

UFS (Universal Flash Storage) reads from your smartphone’s storage and writes to it at the same time. The quickness of this operation depends on the capability of storage, which is obviously faster on the latest UFS 4.0. At the time of launch, Samsung revealed that UFS 4.0 is more than twice as fast as the UFS 3.1 standard.

So, you just need to skip the 128GB storage variant of the vanilla Galaxy S23 in favor of the faster UFS 4.0 storage. In some markets, the company might offer free storage upgrade, yet, we suggest you purchase the 256GB model to enjoy the fastest experience and worry-free memory on your phone.

Why S23 skips the latest UFS:

IceUniverse revealed that the South Korean tech giant doesn’t produce the 128GB variant of UFS 4.0 standard. As pointed out by the tipster, only Kioxia has produced the 128GB UFS4.0, but through the 128GB UFS4 chip of the Xiaomi 13.

“Even if it (Kioxia 128GB UFS 4.0) is used, the performance is not up to standard and it cannot be called UFS 4.0, so it is reasonable to use UFS 3.1 for 128GB, said Ice.”

As per past reports, Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series is expected to come with a starting price tag of $799 in the United States. You can still grab the opportunity to get free $50 Samsung Credit for purchasing accessories/charger for your new device.

All you need to do is to reserve the next Galaxy through the official Samsung.com site. In the US, it’s commitment-free as you neither need to pay any amount while reserving nor you are bounded to purchase the phone after its official debut.

Samsung Galaxy S25’s 3nm Exynos 2500 to beat Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in power efficiency

Published

Samsung Exynos 2400

Samsung’s first 3nm Exynos 2500 chip could outpace Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in power efficiency. Both chipsets will power the next-gen Galaxy flagships, scheduled for an early 2025 launch. Recent input suggests that Exynos is returning as a tough rival to Snapdragon.

The Exynos 2500 will be made on Samsung’s 2nd-gen 3nm process technology. The S24’s Exynos 2400 chipset impressed the industry with significant improvements over its predecessor. The company appears to be leveling up the game next year.

Thanks to the cutting-edge process node, Samsung’s next Exynos could finally surpass its Snapdragon counterpart in power efficiency. The company may utilize its advanced FOWLP in the Exynos 2500 to make it run at higher clock speeds at the same power consumption level.

Qualcomm is facing power efficiency concerns with its recent Snapdragon chips. Due to reduced efficiency, phone makers are forced to bring up to 5000mAh battery. Samsung apparently seized this opportunity to bring back its in-house Exynos back to the contest.

Following Google, Meta, Apple and Microsoft, Samsung and Intel joined the race to develop next-gen AI processors. Aimed to lead AI semiconductor tech, both companies launched chips addressing NVIDIA GPU shortcomings, including price and performance per watt.

After completing the development of MACH-1, Samsung has recently started working on MACH-2. The company has also supplied MACH-1 prototypes to major IT firms in South Korea (Naver) and other parts of the world to gather feedback for MACH-2 development.

Intel launched its latest AI semiconductor – Gaudi 3, collaborating with Naver. The company aims to counter NVIDIA GPU drawbacks, particularly in price and performance per watt. Notably, Intel’s Gaudi 3 offers over 40% better power efficiency than NVIDIA GPUs.

Tech giants launching AI chips also prioritize energy efficiency. Google Cloud’s TPU “v5p” is 60% more energy-efficient than similar hardware, with a performance of 459 TFlops. Samsung also prioritizes power efficiency in MACH-1 and MACH-2 development.
