Samsung, Virgin Media O2 expand 4G/5G collaboration on live networks in UK
Just recently, Samsung and Virgin Media O2 announced that they have successfully completed the expansion of multiple Live 4G and 5G sites in the UK, taking the next step in their collaboration. With this expansion, companies have also completed the first 5G data calls on Virgin Media O2’s commercial 5G network using the sites.
Starting this year – Tamworth conducted joint field trials at sites in the Peak District of England. They followed successful lab tests conducted in October 2021, confirming the capability and performance of Samsung’s 4G and 5G solutions on Virgin Media O2’s commercial network.
In addition, these field tests demonstrated the interaction between Virgin Media O2’s 2G/3G/4G networks and Samsung’s latest 4G and 5G solutions, and Samsung’s Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) capabilities certified use if they are needed.
Samsung offers its latest network of solutions – including 4G radios, 5G giant MIMO radios, and baseband units – for testing. The solutions cover a wide range of Virgin Media O2’s spectrum holdings, from low- to mid-band (800MHz, 2.1GHz, and 3.5GHz).
In particular, Samsung distributed its 5G 64T64R heavy MIMO radios for the 3.5GHz spectrum, a major 5G spectrum band for the operator network.
Samsung’s 5G 64T64R Massive MIMO Radio has expanded commercially across global markets, currently providing mobile services to millions of users. This solution, in conjunction with Samsung’s baseband unit, provides better coverage and higher data capacity to enhance the 5G customer mobile experience.
Leads to the successful delivery of 5G end-to-end solutions, including Samsung chipsets, radios, and cores. Through ongoing research and development, Samsung continues to push the industry to advance its market-leading product portfolio from fully virtualized RAN and core to private network solutions and AI-based automation tools to 5G networks.

Samsung Galaxy S25 series may use Exynos 2500, which isn’t surprising news at all.
A new report says that the Samsung Galaxy S25 with Exynos 2500 may outpace its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 counterpart regarding power efficiency. According to Business Korea, the Galaxy S25 series may be equipped with the next-gen Exynos processor.
The next-gen in-house Samsung processor will feature more advanced and efficient AI capabilities. Judging from the success of Exynos 2400, speculations are positive for its successor.
Galaxy S24 lineup’s Standard and Plus variants use Exynos 2400 chip in select markets. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is internationally shipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. Both application processors are fabricated on enhanced 4nm processes at Samsung and TSMC, respectively.
Since Snapdragon still has an edge over Exynos, the competition is getting fierce. Consumer response towards Exynos is also significantly helping the Galaxy maker to further evolve its mobile SoC segment.
Samsung x Synopsys
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Samsung is collaborating with Synopsys for the 3nm tapeout. This partnership is said to result in the successful mass production of prototypes of SoCs including mobile APs, based on a 3-nm process.
Galaxy S25’s Exynos 2500 is planned to enter mass production early next year. Samsung’s 2nd gen 3nm process node, slated to be used in Exynos 2500, features GAA (Gate-All-Around) transistors, which limit energy leakage and increase drive current.

OnePlus Open 2 is reportedly delayed to 2025 in favor of a fruitful chipset upgrade. Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in July this year, whereas its toughest competitor seemingly pushed it to 2025, skipping a release later this year.
X tipster @That_Kartikey claims that the OnePlus Open 2 may not be coming this year. Oppo’s strategic foldables: Find N5 series is also reportedly halted. Another fairly reliable tipster @chunvn8888 revealed that the launch is scheduled for next year instead.
The next OPPO and OnePlus foldables would be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. Therefore, a delayed launch would result in a pretty beneficial upgrade.
OnePlus debuted its first foldable smartphone in late last year. It is a pretty powerful foldable handset, featuring pro-grade specifications. In 2023, it was the first time that Samsung faced a double-sided attack from Google and OnePlus in its foldable business.
