Samsung Lee Elon Musk semiconductor meeting focused on the semiconductor business for Tesla’s vehicles. Tesla is designing its own fully self-driving (FSD) chips which serve as cars’ brains. The chip design and production process can determine the car’s safety, so close cooperation with foundry companies holds the key.
The meeting between the heads of the two companies bodes well for the production of existing Tesla chips as well as Samsung taking an order for next-generation FSD chips. Industry watchers are paying much attention to whether Tesla will give a chip foundry order to Samsung or TSMC.
Samsung and Tesla have a strong relationship in autonomous driving semiconductors. The Korean semiconductor giant’s foundry division produced Tesla’s autonomous driving chips.
In 2019, Musk officially announced during the introduction of Tesla’s FSD chip that Tesla had entrusted Samsung Electronics to produce the semiconductors at its 14nm process line. Samsung is still producing Tesla’s self-driving chips at its Austin, Texas, foundry in the United States.

Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, earlier sat down with a YouTube channel to reveal the technicalities of the company’s first foldable phone. We’ve seen reports saying OnePlus won’t be bringing a Flip-style foldable phone to the market anytime now.
Through his X post, OnePlus Chief asked users to pick a better cover screen between the Oppo Find N3 Flip and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. Since the post doesn’t mention brands anywhere, the image is enough to denote the cover screen design and its OEM.

Moving ahead, Oppo’s Chief Product Officer noted that the cover screen is getting larger on Flip phones. As there’s a completely difference cover screen design approach on Samsung and OPPO, it’s easy to pick one. And absolutely most of the commenters chose Samsung’s cover screen design.
This year’s Galaxy Z Flip phone comes with a 3.4-inch outer screen, making it easier to get tasks done on the Flex Window. Compared to the conventional 1.9-inch screen, the Z Flip 5 has a pretty big upgrade in terms of productivity and usability of the secondary display.
