Breaking: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will support Jio True 5G in India
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra customers living in India can finally take a breath of relief as their phones will soon start supporting Jio True 5G to deliver faster internet performance.
The Korean company launched the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphone with 5G compatibility in 2020. But the most famous network provider in India, Jio does not provide 5G support to the users.
Earlier the Jio service provider confirmed that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is not documented to feature True 5G support in the country. The company said it was not able to release 5G-supported firmware updates due to application processor limitations.
However, this situation will not last long. Samsung will soon start rolling out a new software update for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphones in India to make the device Jio True 5G ready.
Although when the update is coming exactly is unknown at the moment. We expect that the support will go live through the One UI 5.1 update, which is yet to be delivered for Note 20 devices in India.
It’s worth mentioning that this was not the problem of Samsung’s manufacturing processes, the company has made it to support 5G and it does offer 5G connectivity in many other countries. Even in India, other major network providers, such as Airtel offer 5G network and speed.
Fortunately, Jio has also decided to provide a 5G connection to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra users in India. Since most people in the country use Jio SIM cards, it will be beneficial, many more customers can now take advantage of the fast internet services.
Galaxy S20 Ultra will support Jio True 5G?
Earlier Jio told that Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G will also not get Jio True 5G network in India. But since things are changed for the Note 20 Ultra, it seems like the more famous Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will also get the 5G connectivity support for Jio.
LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.
TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.
As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.
LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.
As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.

Another report says Apple will begin mass production of its first foldable iPhone in late 2026. It indicates that the company is preparing to introduce the foldable iPhone by 2026. Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing to launch the sixth-generation foldable products in July this year.
Despite facing challenges in China, Samsung is leading the global foldable market. Meanwhile, Apple’s entry into the foldable market would hurt Samsung the most. The competition is getting fierce and its peak could be seen when the first foldable iPhone lands in the market.
9to5Mac reports that Apple is set to commence mass production of a foldable iPhone in late 2026. The report also states that the company will likely begin mass production of a 20.3-inch foldable device later next year. Previously, this device is slated to launch in 2026 or 2027.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously revealed that the company could launch a 20.3-inch MacBook with a foldable display in 2027. Display supply chain insider Ross Young also highlighted Apple’s development of a 20-inch foldable hybrid device, set for a 2026 or 2027 release.
Trusted source Mark Gurman also said that Apple is “exploring a dual-screen, foldable MacBook/iPad hybrid.” However, the latest report suggests that Apple has “accelerated” its work on foldable devices, with the supply chain showing “increasing visibility.”
It is to be added that foldable devices would introduce a “new line-up for Apple” focused on the “ultra-high-end market.” Apart from a 20.3-inch “foldable device,” the company is exploring 7.9-inches and 8.3-inches screen sizes for a foldable iPhone.
