Samsung launched the Galaxy Book 6 Edge in the US today, and it’s priced at $2,100 exclusively through Samsung.com in 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, and a single Gray Blue color option.

At 0.48 inches thin and 3.42 pounds, this thing is genuinely light for its footprint. The 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display runs at up to 120Hz with Corning Gorilla Glass DX, auto brightness courtesy of Samsung’s Vision Booster, and quad speakers tuned for Dolby Atmos.

It has Snapdragon X2 Elite under the hood, which Samsung claims hits up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI work. Samsung promises up to 22 hours of video playback, and the bundled 65W adapter charges to 40 percent in 30 minutes.

You can describe a missing file instead of hunting for it, adjust system settings by just saying what you want changed, and AI Select lets you pull objects out of images without opening an editing app.

“Galaxy Book 6 Edge turns your Galaxy devices, including Galaxy mobile phones, Tabs, Buds, and more, into one seamlessly integrated ecosystem, helping you effortlessly move projects and tasks between screens and form factors without missing a beat.”

Storage Share lets Galaxy phones and tablets swap files wirelessly. Multi Control handles cross-device copy-paste, Second Screen turns a Galaxy Tab into a second monitor, and Samsung Knox provides the enterprise-level security.

Additionally, the Edge laptop comes with a versatile range of ports, a built-in microSD slot, as well as support for Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 for seamless device connectivity without the need to carry endless adaptors.

Samsung’s TM Roh is set to visit BOE in China before the end of June, and the meeting could reportedly focus on OLED display supply for the standard Galaxy S27 flagship.

The central question is whether BOE will supply OLED panels for the standard Galaxy S27, due out in the first half of 2026. ETNews reports that Samsung has already sent BOE a formal Request for Information on development.

Conversations have been running for months. Roh’s visit could finalize what’s been circling in committee rooms into an actual deal.

For years, Samsung has used Chinese OLED panels in cheaper phones, but the Galaxy S flagship line has run exclusively on Samsung Display panels.

Roh heads Samsung’s DX Division and MX Business, which means he owns both the smartphone and TV product lines. When someone at that level personally makes a factory visit to a component supplier, the stakes aren’t routine.

One industry source was blunt about BOE’s expectations: BOE is hoping Roh’s visit arrives as a gift, specifically the Galaxy S27 supply opportunity wrapped up inside it.

BOE wants to prove it belongs in flagship territory. Landing a major supply role in the world’s most recognized Android smartphone line isn’t just revenue; it’s validation.

NAND and DRAM prices have skyrocketed over the past couple of months. Next-gen chipsets would also cost more, putting an extra burden on the bill of materials of the upcoming phones.

Samsung, for its part, wants pricing leverage over Samsung Display. A credible alternative supplier does that automatically, whether BOE wins the contract or not.

Earlier this month, Samsung announced a major update for the Samsung Health app, and users are still waiting for its release. The company scheduled this rollout to kick off on June 8th, and it’s already been a week since that announcement.

Many users asked Samsung about this delay.

“I recall clearly announcing in the last press release that a major update for Samsung Health would be rolled out sequentially starting June 8th, but the speed of the global ecosystem update is quite disappointing. My app still hasn’t received any update notification and remains unchanged. You didn’t forget to press the update distribution button at headquarters, did you?” a user wrote on the Samsung Korea community.

“They said they would release it starting on the 8th, but it seems not a single user has received it yet,” asked another user.

These queries prompted a reply from a community moderator, which suggests that Samsung has yet to release the update for users, but it will come in batches. Talking about the delay, the person in charge notes that the rollout time “may vary slightly”. So, the ambiguity remains surrounding the release date.

What’s special about the new Samsung Health app update?

Samsung previously confirmed that the new Health app update will get users key health features designed for the next-gen Galaxy Watch series.

Vitals: Analyzes heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen’s overnight gain against their true resting baseline. It notifies users when data differs from the baseline, helping them understand they need more rest.

Heart Health Score: It combines sleep, stress, and activity data with body composition data to identify habits that could affect heart health in the long term.

Daily Cardio Load: This feature measures the accumulated cardiovascular strain from exercises. It calculates daily load and maximum training capacity and recommends optimal training targets and rest times to achieve fitness goals without burnout or injury.

Fitness Index: The Fitness Index analyzes heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps against users’ peers to provide personalized content and goals for consistent health improvements.

Besides these features, the Samsung Health app will also get a redesign with a connected layout focusing on five core areas: Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Vitals. There’s more to the design side that is making users anxious about this new Samsung Health app update. We hope Samsung will release it soon.

Samsung Foundry division has reportedly started R&D work on chips for the next-generation Neuralink brain implant. This is the first time Samsung has landed an order from the Musk-backed neurotechnology company.

The project carries the internal codename “O1”. Samsung is developing a 4-nanometer process to manufacture what would be Neuralink’s fourth-generation implant chips, reports Hankyung (via SemiconductorsX).

Sources say the work is already underway inside Samsung’s foundry operation. Winning Neuralink isn’t just a contract; it’s a signal. Samsung is planting a flag in biotech silicon before most foundries have even thought to look.

Samsung has Tesla on its books; now it has Neuralink. The company is methodically threading itself through every major venture of Elon Musk.

TSMC’s dominance has always rested on trust. Samsung just started making a case that it belongs in the most sensitive chips on earth, the ones that go inside the human body.

Huawei is on its journey to develop in-house or rely on Chinese national tech solutions after the United States cut crucial access. Meanwhile, the latest Huawei flagship phones still depend partly on Samsung-made memory solutions.

In a Kirin 9030 and 9030 Pro teardown, SemiAnalysis (via SemiconductorsX) discovered a mix of Samsung and CXMT memory chips, powering the Huawei Mate 80 series flagship phones.

The Pro variant carries 12 GB of Samsung DRAM, two stacks of four dies each, identified as the K4L2E165YD. That’s LPDDR5X-9600 built on Samsung’s 1a node, the fourth generation of its 10nm-class DRAM family after 1x, 1y, and 1z.

Irony doesn’t get much richer than this. Samsung’s 1a has shipped in volume since 2022, which means Huawei is buying current, competitive memory from the company whose country’s government is actively sanctioning them.

SemiAnalysis report pointed out:

China is not closing the gap with Intel, Samsung and TSMC. The teardown shows the opposite in several places: no EUV, no backside power, higher process complexity, and visible trade-offs.

Units surfaced with two different memory packages, depending on who built them, Samsung or China’s CXMT. The CXMT 16GB package, marked CXDD7JEDM and assembled in week 45 of 2025, is stacked the same way.

CXMT is closing the distance, but Huawei still needs Samsung to fill the top of its own lineup.
