Samsung’s System LSI division just delivered its best-ever first-quarter revenue. Sounds like great news, right? But there’s a catch – the company still expects to end the full year with losses in this part of its chip business.

President Park Yong-in recently talked about the challenges. He said Samsung needs bigger structural changes because demand is soft in several key areas. Even with strong memory (HBM) chip sales, thanks to AI demand, the non-memory side (foundry and System LSI) continues to struggle.

“We achieved the highest level of sales in the first quarter of this year” Park said at the briefing. Park said, “The System-on-Chip (SoC) business is difficult to convert into a surplus in the short term, but we will strive to improve the business body and improve profitability.” “We will create an environment where structural problems can be solved by management and members can focus on technology.”

The one chance? Development of the next flagship Exynos 2700 processor is moving along steadily. Samsung is expected to use it in the next Galaxy S-series phones.

Samsung is clearly treating its foundry business (making chips for other companies) and System LSI (mobile processors and more) as key parts for the entire company.

What’s the real issue? The mobile SoC market is super competitive, and AI demand has not helped every segment the same way. While memory chips are printing money, fixing the logic and foundry side will take serious time and effort.

For long-term success, Samsung is trying to balance its memory and non-memory chip businesses. Investors are watching closely to see if these changes start delivering real results soon.

Samsung is changing how we think about home construction by launching the Samsung AI Modular Home. The company is collaborating with Space Workshop (Kongan Jajakso) to bring AI to homes even before the homeowner takes charge.

Partnering with wooden modular housing specialist Kongan Jajakso, the tech giant is moving directly into the detached housing market with a brilliant twist: the artificial intelligence is built straight into the walls before the house even leaves the factory.

Kongan Jajakso utilizes automated systems to prefabricate over 80% of these wooden structures indoors. This factory-first approach slashes construction times, guarantees uniform quality, and drastically minimizes material waste.

What sets this project apart is the deep integration of Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem.

Buyers can choose from roughly 20 types of compatible devices, including AI air conditioners, refrigerators, and security cameras, which are pre-installed and pre-registered during the factory phase.

When homeowners move into their new 33 to 132-square-meter space, they completely bypass the frustration of setting up a smart home network from scratch.

Samsung is already eyeing the future, planning to expand this technology to mid-rise buildings and global markets. By blending precision manufacturing with ready-to-use tech, the two companies are delivering a frictionless lifestyle.

Samsung TV Plus has officially dropped the trailer for Hooligans: The ARCH Racing Project with Keanu Reeves & Gard Hollinger.

This high-octane, six-part docuseries is set to debut on Sunday, July 12 at 9 PM ET on the Samsung TV Network flagship channel, with new episodes rolling out every Sunday through August 16.

The series follows Reeves and Hollinger, the founders of ARCH Motorcycle, as they transition from crafting world-class custom machines to competing in MotoAmerica’s intense Super Hooligan National Championship.

What to expect:

• • The Underdog Journey: An inside look at a lean, scrappy team pushing innovation and determination to the absolute limit.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Access: Capturing everything from precision engineering in the garage to the adrenaline on the starting grid.
  • A Growing Network: This launch marks a major milestone for Samsung TV Plus Exclusives as it expands its original, culturally resonant content.

Made for everyone and every moment, Samsung TV Plus Exclusives brings bespoke experiences like must-see originals, live concerts, and creator-led content that are culturally resonant and fuel connection.

Samsung TV Plus also recently launched the MotoAmericaTV Channel, a 24/7 destination featuring more than 200 hours of North America’s premier motorcycle road racing series, including coverage of the Super Hooligan National Championship.

Samsung officially launched the Galaxy A37 5G in South Korea, with the smartphone being available for purchase starting on June 19, 2026. It can be purchased at Samsung Stores, Samsung Shop, and online/offline stores.

The Galaxy A37 5G offers great value for this price. The device sports a 6.7-inch sAMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

Camera capabilities are also solid, thanks to its triple camera setup, which consists of a 50-megapixel primary with 1um pixel sensor size for decent light absorption, an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and a 5-megapixel macro lens.

The main camera is also supported by the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature. It reduces shaking during shooting, helping to capture various moments more sharply.

Under the hood, it packs a 5000mAh battery and supports 45W wired charging. Samsung says the device supports up to 60% charging in just 30 minutes. The phone also features better IP68-rated water and dust resistance.

Awesome Intelligence

The Galaxy A37 5G is equipped with Awesome Intelligence, a mobile AI dedicated to the Galaxy A series, allowing users to utilize various AI functions more conveniently.

Editing captured photos is simple. With AI Eraser, users can easily remove unwanted subjects or objects within a photo. The AI-powered Edit Suggestion feature analyzes the image and suggests various enhancements.

Voice Transcription is a feature that converts recorded voice into text, making it useful for reviewing meeting contents, reviewing lectures, or organizing phone call details.

Offered in three Awesome colors, Charcoal, Lavender, and White, the Galaxy A37 5G smartphone comes with a price tag of 598,400 KRW (translates to around $392).

The Galaxy A37 5G supports up to 6 generations of OS upgrades and up to 6 years of security updates to maintain continuous performance and security.

Samsung is offering:

• 2-Month Willa Subscription
• 20% refund of the payment amount in Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates

Samsung has reportedly achieved a 3D transistor design milestone, which could reshape and improve future chip performance. The company continues to expand its technological footprint, along with nurturing the Foundry and LSI divisions.

According to ZDNet (via SemiconductorsX), Samsung walked away from VLSI 2026 with the Best Paper award after presenting a 3D Stacked FET design that squeezes more transistors into less space than anything the industry has managed before.

Samsung’s design piles transistors on top of each other, slashing the footprint in half and theoretically doubling density in a single architectural move.

The score was 8.29 out of 10 across a pool of over 1,000 submissions. The company also pushed the gate pitch, the horizontal width of each transistor, down to 42nm from 48nm.

Samsung’s own V-NAND flash and HBM memory both live in three dimensions. The company’s Foundry business has taken serious hits over the past two years.

Yield problems, lost clients, and a general sense that the gap between Samsung and TSMC was widening rather than closing. A Best Paper at VLSI doesn’t fix a fab, but it signals that the engineering talent is still in the building.
