According to Samsung UK, if you shine a strong light on the display of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, some parts may appear to be squashed/pressed. The company clarified that this happens because of the pressing process for waterproofing and dust proofing, and it’s not a product defect.

No doubt, all Samsung products have passed strict internal quality inspections. However, lines after refraction of light may be seen at certain angles under strong light as the display panel consists of surface tempered glass, dustproof, waterproof layer.
As spotted by Android Central, last year, Samsung published a post regarding the same issue on the Taiwanese support page. The support page entitled “In bright light, the screen appears to see traces of stacked lines/arrangements.”
Through the support page, Samsung explained that the display panel is composed of many layers, including the surface toughened glass, which is directly covered on the display panel. It adopts a waterproof/dustproof structural design, which can effectively prevent the intrusion of external objects or liquids.
“This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the function and life of the product, please feel free to use it,” says Samsung Support.
It’s worth mentioning that a limited number of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra users noticed (via Reddit, Twitter & Samsung Community) a strange deformity of sorts on display (bubble-like effect on the bottom right or left). However, the display bubble is not seen on all Galaxy S23 Ultra units, even on our review unit.
Samsung’s executive chairman Jay Y. Lee (Lee Jae-yong in Korean) topped the Forbes 2024 Richest Korean list for the first time. On April 17, Forbes revealed that the Samsung boss is the richest in South Korea, with his assets increasing by $3.5 billion, bringing his total net worth to $11.5 billion.
Thanks to a rise in Samsung’s stocks, Samsung’s Lee jumped to the top of the Forbes 2024 Richest Korean list. Notably, the company’s stocks significantly hiked after the revelation that it’s developing high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI computing for NVIDIA.
Forbes 2023 Richest Korean, Kim Byung-ju, slipped to second this year with assets worth $9.7 billion. The third place went to Seo Jung-jin, honorary chairman of Celltrion, with assets of $7.5 billion.
Cho Jung-ho, chairman of Meritz Financial Group, ranked fourth with $6.2 billion, and Chung Mong-koo, honorary chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, was fifth with $4.6 billion.

BusinessKorea reports that the new Samsung Advanced Processor Lab to focus on developing next-gen AI semiconductor design assets in the US. The assets are said to be focused on the RISC-V area, which serves as a foundational design asset for semiconductor chip design.
Samsung’s initiative with RISC-V is interpreted as a move towards technological independence. Therefore, the company is expanding its R&D organization in Silicon Valley, aiming to enhance design capabilities to disrupt the market currently dominated by NVIDIA.
Amid the booming AI era, the market of advanced semiconductors is also expanding. Samsung has completed the development of its Mach-1 AI semiconductor and supplied prototypes to global firms including Korea’s Naver. The company has also started the development of Mach-2.

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.
