Samsung to finish HBM4 chip development by mid-2025

Samsung is regularly working on its development of HBM4 memory chips. The company plans to complete the process by the first half of 2025, which is earlier than they originally planned.
In recent years, Samsung has faced big losses due to problems with its older memory chips. Now, Samsung is looking to get back on track with this new HBM4 chip.
Samsung has reportedly set a goal to get its HBM4 chips ready for mass production by completing an important step called Production Readiness Approval (PRA). Samsung originally planned to reach this step by the end of 2025, but now they are pushing for it much sooner.
The reason for this faster timeline is Nvidia, a main customer for Samsung. Nvidia plans to launch its next AI chip, Rubin, in the third quarter of 2025. These chips will use HBM4 memory, so Nvidia needs Samsung to be ready. Nvidia had originally planned to release Rubin in 2026, but it has moved the launch date up.
However, Samsung is not the only company working on HBM4 chips. SK Hynix, a major competitor, is also developing HBM4 and has made good progress. Nvidia has even met with SK Hynix to speed up their work.
Samsung is using its 10nm 6th generation DRAM for the HBM4 chips. The company started seeing better results in October 2024, but it still needs to improve production and avoid problems like overheating or low performance.
If Samsung can meet the new timeline, it could regain its position as a leader in memory chips.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Unboxing and First Impressions

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is being delivered and we now have an unboxing and first impressions experience with this new flagship, which appears to be slightly different from the previous model.
S25 Ultra Unboxing
The retail box’s dimensions are identical to last year’s S24 Ultra and highlight the frame and the S-Pen with white outlines. The box includes:
- SIM ejector tool
- USB-C to USB-C cable
- A quick start guide
- Galaxy S25 Ultra
That’s typical Samsung flagship stuff.

S25 Ultra First Impressions
The first look at the device goes to its shape, specifically, its outline. The trimmed corners are the center of discussion, which stands different from the S24 Ultra. The Titanium Silverblue color is prominent in the frame and frosted in the back due to the rear glass.
The sides are flat and the Titanium has a texture that doesn’t slip out of the grip. Some people might argue that the phone looks similar to an iPhone but that illusion ends when you get a hold of this device.
Actually, it feels more like S24U with flat and round experience. That’s it. One major change in hands-on experience becomes certain with its round corner, sitting well on the palm.

As a S24 Ultra owner, I also experience weight differences, a plus point for this new S25 Ultra. The weight and the design would no longer matter if you put on a protective cover, which most of the consumers would do.
On the other hand, the S-Pen is all the same, it’s similar to the last version, except for the lapsed Bluetooth functionality.
The camera system has a makeover with those new bold rings on top of the lenses. However, the internals remain the same for main and telephoto cameras, while increasing ultra-wide angle to 50MP. A major overhaul in the camera app made it easy to navigate features while decluttering the viewport.

Furthermore, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite shows its impact on performance and the phone is providing fast response in every touch input on the screen. It is loaded with One UI 7.0 software out of the box with generative AI features, which might amuse some customers.
Conclusion
The initial impression on this device shows a descent upgrade from last year. With that said, we conclude the unboxing and hands-on experience with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra but this flagship has a lot to explore, please stay updated with us for more detailed explorations.
