Samsung reportedly has another high-end Chromebook in the pipeline

We picked up on a new Samsung Chromebook that the company quietly listed on its Korean website. The Samsung Chromebook Pro is a premium device that features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with a 360-degree hinge, a 2GHz hexa-core processor with 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage as well as a stylus. It’s powered by Chrome OS and has the ability to run Android apps. Samsung is yet to officially announce this notebook so it’s unclear right now how much it costs and when it will be released.

According to a new report, Samsung is working on another premium Chromebook that might even be better than the Chromebook Pro. It apparently has the codename “Caroline,” and will be powered by an Intel Skylake processor. It’s also said to have a convertible form factor like the Chromebook Pro as well as a stylus.

Caroline appears to be the only device in the pipeline that supports broader stylus support being added to Chrome OS. The commit for Caroline’s stylus reveals that the author has a Samsung email address. While this doesn’t confirm the notebook, it does connect the dots and suggests that Samsung might be developing another high-end Chromebook. Who knows when it will be out, though.

New lawsuit alleges Samsung’s exploding issue isn’t just limited to the Galaxy Note 7

A new lawsuit filed in the US district court in California alleges that Samsung’s exploding issue isn’t just limited to the Galaxy Note 7. It claims that Samsung “chose to conceal the problem from the public … despite knowing the foreseeable and predictable risk that the phone may overheat, flame and destruct from the inside presenting a risk of serious harm or injury.” The lawsuit claims that a Galaxy S6 Active emitted a 5-inch high flame and left the user with “melted flesh” and alleges that Samsung has known for years that its technology was hazardous.

The lawsuit has been filed by Brandon Covert and his wife Jennifer. They woke up to a “loud explosion, resembling a gunshot” on August 2 and saw that Brandon’s S6 Active lying on the dresser was “shooting out flames four to five inches high, and quickly filling the room with smoke.” He tried putting out the fire by smothering the phone with a shirt but that didn’t work so he picked it up and went to the kitchen to drench it in water. “What remained was a contorted pile of metal, plastic and glass, along with Brandon’s melted flesh,” the lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit mentions more than 30 consumer reports raising concerns about this issue going as far back as 2011 and seeks unspecified damages as the “smell of toxic fumes, scorched metal, burnt flesh, and smoke filled [the Coverts’] bedroom, making it uninhabitable for several days following the explosion and fire.” While we have seen reports of Samsung devices burning up in a similar fashion, they don’t have the battery cell issue that caused the Galaxy Note 7′s fall from grace. Any smartphone with a lithium battery will combust in this manner when the battery is exposed to factors beyond what it has been designed for. This could be anything from a counterfeit charger to excess pressure, doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a widespread problem.

Samsung is yet to comment on this lawsuit.

The Galaxy S8 could pack an LG Chem battery

It’s been revealed that Samsung is considering using LG Chem batteries for the Galaxy S8. This news comes just one week after the firm announced that it’s ending production of the Galaxy Note 7 after replacements started catching fire.

According to Maeil Business Newspaper, the company is attempting to strike a deal with LG Chem to provide the cells for what could be its only flagship smartphone to launch next year in a move to diversify its battery suppliers.

When Samsung issued its first recall of the Galaxy Note 7 back in September, it revealed that its in-house Samsung STI batteries were the main cause of overheating and fires.

However, shortly after replacement units with ATL cells started making their way into the hands of consumers, reports started to surface claiming that they were exploding too.

Unfortunately, the exact cause of the second round of fires remains unknown. Samsung, together with the South Korean government are both conducting a thorough investigation into the matter, though.

In the meantime, it makes sense for Samsung to make plans to stay away from both ATL and Samsung STI batteries and move towards LG Chem, a brand that’s stood the test of time and proved to be very reliable.

Over a million people are still using the Galaxy Note 7

It’s believed that more than a million people worldwide are still using the Galaxy Note 7, despite the CPSC’s decision to issue a second official recall of the handset following numerous reports of replacement models bursting into flames without any warning.

This latest statistic comes courtesy of South Korean publication Korea JoongAng Daily and cites customers who claim that they aren’t too keen on giving up their beloved Galaxy Note 7 because they simply can’t find another phone they like and believe to be evenly matched.

Personally, I find it a little worrying how consumers are willing to put the Galaxy Note 7′s unique features above their own personal safety, especially after Samsung announced that it would discontinue the unit and issue a global recall because it has public welfare concerns.

If you own a Galaxy Note 7, we urge you to take advantage of the recall options the manufacturer has put in place as the possibility of it bursting into a ball of flames is very much real. Up until December 31, you can swap the device for a replacement model of a different smartphone or a full cash refund.

Samsung wants Silicon Valley to unite for building a 5G ecosystem

Samsung today hosted the first Silicon Valley 5G Summit, it was held at the Samsung Research American in San Jose, California. The company expects this summit to become an annual event which brings together global telecom industry leaders and calls on them for a united front in building the 5G ecosystem. More than 100 industry leaders gathered to discuss the opportunities and challenges faced in the commercialization of 5G technologies. Participants consisted to telecom operators, system vendors, chip makers, policy makers, industry analysts and others.

The summit went over the current status, challenges and requirements for creating business opportunities for 5G. The role of policymakers was discussed as well through the allocation of spectrum and various technical aspects of the next-generation mobile communications technology were discovered as well. “Today’s summit will also accelerate 5G deployment and contribute to future wireless innovations for 5G and beyond,” said  Julius Knapp, Chief of the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology. Samsung says that it’s time for the industry to come together and shape the new era of 5G and build a sustainable ecosystem by inviting industry stakeholders and looking at their perspectives on how 5G will be developed over the coming years.

Samsung doesn’t want to replace items damaged by exploding Galaxy Note 7s

According to a new report published by The Guardian, Samsung’s insurance division isn’t willing to pay the replacement costs of items damaged by exploding Galaxy Note 7s. A faulty device reportedly caught fire in John Barwick’s house in Illinois spraying chemicals “all over [his] bed, mattress, curtains, and carpets,” which he believes will set him back around $9,000 to fix.

When he Barwick contacted Samsung, he was eventually referred to a representative of its insurance company, Samsung Fire & Marine, who informed him that the company would not pay for the damaged items, but would provide compensation for the “depreciated value.” Disappointed by the outcome, he said that he’s “not seeking a great amount of money to get rich off this” and that just wants “to be made whole.”

In a statement issued to The Guardian, Barwick went on to reveal that “it seemed that Samsung’s priority was retrieving that phone. “I told them I’d be more than happy to allow them to inspect it to ensure the claim was authentic, but I wasn’t going to give over custody until everything was made good.” Other customers have had a similar experience, too.

Enter Shawn Minter from Richmond, Virginia. When his Galaxy Note 7 burst into flames, the device burned his nightstand to a cinder. In a similar way to Barwick, Samsung was unresponsive when asked to cover the cost of the furniture. “They were only interested in retrieving the phone,” he told The Guardian. “Once I told them I was giving the phone to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), they went dark.”

Now, when Minter contacts Samsung, he’s instantly directed to the company’s insurance division where he’s once again informed that the firm will not pay for the replacement costs of the damaged items, only the “depreciated value,” which, in my opinion, is an outrage. Imagine if you were in the same situation and a faulty device caused damage to your belongings, you’d want them to be replaced, right?

It’s unclear what Samsung’s next move will be, but seeing as it’s now in the spotlight of the media, the slew of reports emerging should encourage it to do the right thing and cover the costs of damaged items in full. Hopefully, it won’t take too much of a toll on the estimated loss of $17 billion in revenue that it’s facing as a result of the entire Galaxy Note 7 exploding battery debacle.

Samsung introduces the industry’s first 8GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM package

Samsung has today announced the industry’s first 8-gigabyte (GB) LPDDR4 mobile DRAM package, which will greatly improve mobile user experiences on larger devices with an Ultra HD display. The 8GB DRAM package is constructed using four of the newest 16 -gigabit (Gb) LPDDR4 chips and the firm’s advanced 10nm-class process technology.

“The advent of our powerful 8GB mobile DRAM solution will enable more capable next-generation, flagship mobile devices around the world,” said Joo Sun Choi, Executive VP of Memory Sales at Samsung. “We will continue to provide advanced memory solutions offering the highest values and leading-edge benefits to meet the escalating needs of devices having dual camera, 4K UHD and VR features.”

As you’d expect, the new 8GB LPDDR4 module is significantly faster than DDR4 DRAM chip for PCs. In fact, it’s actually twice as fast, operating at speeds of up to 4,266 megabits per second (Mbps). If it assumes a 64 bit (x64) wide memory bus,  it can be used to transmit over 34GB of data per second, which is pretty astonishing for such a tiny component.

The 8GB LPDDR4 package won’t only be built into smartphones, though. It will also make its way to high-end tablets, which will enable them to smoothly run virtual machines and allow for a more fluid 4K UHD video playback experience. The 10nm-class process technology and Samsung’s low-power circuit design allows for longer battery life, too.

With regards to dimensions, the chip measures in at under 15mm by 15mm by 1.0mm, which satisfies space requirements of most new, ultra-slim mobile devices. Seeing as the module is thinner than 1.0mm, manufacturers will be able to stack it together with UFS memory or a mobile application processor, which allows for further space savings on the PCB.

Samsung issues a copyright claim against the video of a GTA V mod that turns the Galaxy Note 7 into a bomb

Remember the video of the Grand Theft Auto V mod that replaces the traditional in-game sticky bomb with a recalled Galaxy Note 7 that started making the rounds online a couple of weeks ago? If you don’t, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the clip without realizing it as it quickly went viral for poking harmless fun at Samsung’s ongoing exploding smartphone crisis.

However, it would appear that the manufacturer didn’t see the funny side of the tweak as it’s now filed a bogus copyright claim to have the video pulled from YouTube. It’s worth noting, though, that the creator hasn’t actually copied anything as the mod is merely a parody of a real world situation, which means that Samsung is abusing its access to the DCMA tool.

Fortunately, there are a slew of other videos available on YouTube that showcase the mod just as good as the clip that was taken down, including the one embedded below. If you are planning on watching it, we recommend that you turn up the volume on your device before hitting the Play button as the commentary is actually pretty funny and tells a neat story.

Second Samsung Pay vulnerability discovered

A couple of months ago security researcher Salvador Mendoza claimed to have discovered a vulnerability in Samsung Pay which enabled hackers to steal credit cards wirelessly. Samsung did come out with a detailed response to his claims in order to reassure users that Samsung Pay was completely safe. Mendoza now claims to have discovered a second vulnerability in Samsung Pay which he will demonstrate at the Ekoparty security conference in Argentina next week. The first vulnerability exploited a flaw in MST and the second exploits a flaw in NFC which is actually supposed to be more secure. Samsung Pay is the only mobile payments service that has support for both MST and NFC technologies.

Mendoza says that all a thief needs to do in order to steal a Samsung Pay user’s credit card is to stand near the checkout terminal with a smartphone that’s running the interception app. This app eavesdrops on the NFC transmission and it steals the authentication token after the customer approves the purchase with a PIN code or fingerprint but before payment is actually processed. This brings up an error message on the customer’s phone so they try to make the payment again.

This generates a second token which is then good for up to 24 hours. The thief can, in theory, use the stolen token anywhere in the world where it’s possible to pay by NFC. Mendoza claims to have tested out this vulnerability at a grocery store. He adds that Samsung has been notified of this vulnerability, it’s unclear whether it has been patched because Samsung hasn’t commented on this matter as yet.

Employees at Samsung’s mobile division fear job cuts and lost bonuses

Samsung’s mobile division is the Samsung Group’s cash cow as it accounts for nearly 70 percent of the conglomerate’s revenues which is why people who work in this division are often envied by their colleagues in other Samsung divisions. They were the ones who usually got hefty salaries and bonuses as the Group handsomely rewarded them for lifting Samsung’s brand to new heights. Now the over 26,000 employees who work in this division are being deemed responsible for what’s possibly the worst crisis in the nearly five-decade history of Samsung Electronics. Employees reportedly describe a sense of gloom in the division as the entire Galaxy Note 7 episode has turned out to be tragic and sad.

Samsung Electronics is going to take a $5.3 billion hit on the Galaxy Note 7 and the division is likely to be held accountable. Employees often received bonuses there were around half of the base salary and they now believe that no bonuses might be doled out this year. Some senior executives are likely to be sent packing as well, even division head D.J. Koh, though Samsung hasn’t given any indication that heads will roll for the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.

Samsung’s rapid success in the global mobile market contributed to the increasing influence of Samsung Electronics. The mobile division only accounted for 27 percent of its revenue in 2010 and the number surged to 61 percent in 2013. This led to a shift in dynamics at Samsung. Mobile division employees became big customers for other Samsung divisions as they bought copious amounts of chips, display panels and other components. Their attitudes reportedly changed too, with mobile division employees acting like bosses and pushing workers to meet tighter deadlines. They also used to have the upper hand in price negotiations. When bonuses were given out, many employees in other divisions grumbled among themselves that their colleagues got more even though mobile profits were coming down.

However, Samsung denies that its mobile unit became more powerful over other units. In a statement, the company said that “Samsung manages its supply chain based on fair and transparent policies and actively supports suppliers to establish mid- and long-term partnerships with them.”

Several employees mentioned in the report say that many are worried about who will be held responsible for the entire Galaxy Note 7 debacle. Workers just want it to be resolved so that they can go back to doing their jobs without having doubts about their position. They do say that this has pushed them to do some soul searching inside the company as it has been a very big and very expensive lesson for Samsung Electronics. There’s all the more reason for Samsung to ensure that something like this never happens again. “We are strongly committed to determining and addressing the cause and to taking any and all necessary steps to ensure this never happens again,” the company reiterated in a statement.

The Galaxy Note 7 recall couldn’t have come at a worse time for Samsung

No company would ever want to go through the pain and loss of having to recall its flagship product on the best of days but when something like this happens at a time the company is already under pressure, it just makes it so much harder to steer the organization through it all. That’s really what happened with Samsung, the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Korean giant.

Investors in South Korea were already calling on the company to change its complicated corporate structure. Critics say the company has to change its top-down “militaristic” culture to be able to compete in the future. It’s now having to fend off a challenge by activist investor hedge fund Elliott Associates which has proposed that Samsung Electronics should be split into two.

Samsung also has a reputation to protect in its home country. People in South Korea often refer to their country as the “Republic of Samsung” because the conglomerate is in just about every business, its business interests range from bakeries to ship-building and everything in between.

“You can live your entire life here from cradle to the grave on Samsung products,” says Geoffrey Cain, an author and journalist who will soon launch a book on Samsung and its businesses, “You can die [and] go to the Samsung morgue when you’re dead. You can get married at the Samsung wedding hall in the company.”

The Galaxy Note 7 recall has the entire nation worried. Samsung’s business interests make up for 20 percent of Korea’s gross domestic product and the country’s central bank has already indicated that the cancellation of the flagship is going to have an impact on the overall economic outlook.

Many customers in the country have their patriotism tied up with Samsung and they take pride in using the company’s products. However, the fact that it has still not been able to disclose what caused the Galaxy Note 7 to catch fire is seriously hurting its reputation in the country. Elena Yang, one such loyal Samsung user, says that she’s frustrated by the company’s response. “They haven’t [told] us what the complete problem is or how they solve this problem step by step. They didn’t tell us very concretely,” she said.

Samsung has reiterated multiple times now that it’s going to get to the bottom of this and disclose the reasons but it’s unclear when we’ll get a proper explanation from the company. Till that happens, it runs the risk of further damaging its reputation in a market where it has virtually operated with impunity for decades.

Someone made a smoking Galaxy Note 7 Halloween costume because why not

I’m pretty sure the Galaxy Note 7 has given a lot of people over at Samsung many sleepless nights, the entire fiasco was the stuff of nightmares to say the least. The Galaxy Note 7 is dead now but people are finding their own ways to pay homage to what might have been Samsung’s best flagship smartphone. One guy thought it would be cool to use the Galaxy Note 7 has a hand grenade in Grand Theft Auto 5 so he made a mod for that and Chris Killey came up with the hilarious idea of making a Halloween costume out of smoking Galaxy Note 7 boxes. Talk about timing!

The costume is quite simple. Killey has a vest containing six Galaxy Note 7 boxes strapped to his body. The boxes emit smoke as he blows into a small tube coming out of the vest. His idea is to go to Halloween parties dressed as a fire hazard this year, and you’ve got to admit, this is a great topical costume that’s bound to be a conversation starter. Full marks for creativity!

Gear S3 release expected by mid-November

It has been a couple of months since Samsung announced the Gear S3 smartwatch. The company said that the new wearable device would be released later this year but it hasn’t confirmed an official release date yet. There now appears to be some clarity on the matter. An unnamed Samsung executive has told a Korean news outlet that the Gear S3 is going to be released by mid-November, at least in some markets, which include the United States, South Korea and some European countries. China isn’t on the list of launch markets but the wearable device will make its way to the People’s Republic in due time.

We only have an idea of what the Gear S3 is going to cost when it does arrive, Samsung will disclose the precise pricing and availability details for each launch market once it confirms when the smartwatch is going to be released. The company unveiled both Bluetooth-only as well as cellular models of the Gear S3 at the IFA 2016 trade show in Germany. The Gear S3 frontier and classic both feature 1.3-inch Super AMOLED displays, 4GB storage, an integrated GPS, Samsung Pay and more.

Marshmallow still evades the Galaxy J3 (2016) in Europe

The Galaxy J3 (2016) is an entry-level smartphone from Samsung’s budget Galaxy J series. It has been out for quite a few months now, in some markets the handset is being shipped with Marshmallow installed straight out of the box. However, users in Europe haven’t been that lucky as the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update still evades the Galaxy J3 (2016) in this particular region.

Samsung today rolled out a firmware update for the Galaxy J3 (2016) in the Netherlands. Software version LMY47V.J320FNXXU0APH1 is a minor update that brings bug fixes, stability and performance improvements. The handset is currently on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and while many would have expected that Samsung will finally come through with Marshmallow, it appears that they will have to keep waiting. The latest firmware update for the Galaxy J3 (2016) in Europe also bumps up the handset to the August security patch, you know what they say, better late than never. It’s unclear at this point in time when Samsung is going to release Marshmallow for the Galaxy J3 (2016) in Europe.

Samsung really needs to ‘adopt’ Marshmallow’s adoptable storage feature

Google doesn’t like expandable storage. The Android maker has long argued that the presence of two different types of storage on a smartphone makes it a confusing prospect for the end user, but if we look at the business side of things, it’s clearly Google’s love for and dependence on the cloud that has dictated its decision to not add support for expandable storage on Nexus (and its new Pixel) devices. But Android itself has supported external storage for a long time, and with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Google came up with the adoptable storage feature to allow users to treat their device’s internal and external storage as one and the same.

Adoptable storage is important because, by default, Android doesn’t support installation of apps directly to the external storage. As a result, anything you download must go to the internal storage before it can be moved to the SD card. On devices with low internal storage, this can pose a problem as such devices might not have the space required for the initial install of an app on the internal storage. Adoptable storage fixes this by treating the external storage as part of the internal space, and it’s a feature that’s a boon on low-end smartphones and something nice to have on mid-range and high-end phones.

When the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge came out without support for adoptable storage, Samsung said it decided to skip the feature as users like to use their microSD cards for transferring files between different devices. Since adoptable storage formats the microSD card to a file system that isn’t supported (not by default) on smartphones, tablets and other such devices, Samsung’s reasoning was certainly a logical one. But at the same time, by completely taking away the option of adoptable storage, Samsung is taking away a major convenience, especially for users of affordable phones.

We have written before how Samsung needs to stop making phones with 8GB of internal storage, but even on devices with 16GB of storage out of the box, running into a situation where you don’t have enough space on the device for installing a new app or game isn’t uncommon. I certainly ran into this issue on the Galaxy J7 Prime. My J7 Prime is only a review unit on which I’ve installed all of the apps that I have on my personal device, and if I can run into the storage block on a device that is only with me for a few days, I can’t imagine how often it would be a problem for those who have to use such a device for months and maybe years before they upgrade/buy a new smartphone.

Adoptable storage is the best thing to have happened to Android’s implementation of expandable storage, and it’s just not acceptable that Samsung isn’t putting the feature at least on its affordable and low-end handsets. Yes, formatting a microSD card so that it doesn’t work with any device without requiring another format (and consequent loss of data) could be confusing and problematic for many, but there is no excuse for not putting in the feature and letting the users decide whether they want to take the risk or not.

It’s especially damning considering Samsung still has smartphones out on the market with a paltry 8GB of internal storage, and I certainly hope the company sees sense and brings adoptable storage to its devices in the future. It’s one thing customizing Android to add new and useful functionality on top of Google’s vanilla version of the OS, but it’s certainly not acceptable to remove features that are a part of Android by default, and considerably useful ones at that.
