Moreover, the repair specialist, iSmash is dedicated to delivering professional high-quality repairs with an express turnaround, meaning customers are never left without their device for too long.
As an Authorized Service Partner, all its technicians are fully qualified and trained by Samsung to enable customers to repair Galaxy smartphones. On this partnership, Brian Ford, Vice-President of Samsung Customer Experience, UK says –
“We are pleased to announce iSmash as an Authorised Service Partner, as a further customer option within our repair network.

The iSmash nationwide service centre coverage gives more choice to our customers, who can now get a fast repair safe in the knowledge that their smartphone is in the hands of an accredited and trusted service partner.”
Aside from in-store repairs, Samsung also offers a suite of repair and support options to its customers. This includes a ‘We come to you’ doorstep repair service, where a mobile repair van will travel to customers’ chosen location and repair their devices on-site.
A pick-up repair service is also a great benefit from the company, where it posts an empty box for customers to package their devices in and an at-home service to pick up and repair the device before returning the device to the customer.

TSMC will commence 1.6nm semiconductor production in the second half of 2026. The company’s Co-Chief Operating Officer, Y.J. Mii, announced (via NikkeiAsia) in the US that the new A16 chip manufacturing technology will begin production in the second half of 2026.
South Korea’s Samsung Electronics is also working on 1.6nm process tech, called Backside Power Delivery. Taiwanese chipmaker said that 1.6nm is an area where they are competing with Intel, racing to boost the speed of AI semiconductors.
Demand from AI chip companies led TSMC to develop the new A16 chip manufacturing process faster than expected. High NA EUV, the next-generation extreme ultraviolet exposure equipment for drawing ultra-fine circuits, is unlikely to be used.
Samsung previously revealed it plans to mass produce 2nm in 2025 and 1.4nm in 2027, which is similar to TSMC. Meanwhile, Intel could start mass production of the 1.8nm process later this year, with 1.4nm expected to be announced in 2027.
