Samsung aims to start manufacturing 3nm chips in 2022

Samsung is the second-biggest contract chip manufacturer globally, and its current best fabrication process is 5nm LPE. The company was expected to start manufacturing chips using its 3nm technology later this year. However, the plan seems to have been delayed by one year, and the company now expects to start the mass production of 3nm chips in late 2022.

The company revealed its updated product roadmap in China during the Foundry Forum 2021 event last week. Samsung Foundry, the South Korean chaebol’s semiconductor chip manufacturing arm, showcased that 5LPP and 4LPP processes will be used to mass-produce chips in high volumes 2021 and 2022, respectively. The company’s 3nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology is absent from the product roadmap. However, Samsung Foundry’s spokesperson confirmed to AnandTech that the company will fabricate chips sometime in 2022 and that it has been in discussion with some customers regarding the process.

Samsung could launch a 3nm Exynos processor in late 2022

The 3GAE (3nm Gate-All-Around Early) technology, an early iteration of Samsung’s 3nm process, will only be used by System LSI that makes Exynos processors. Maybe that’s why it is missing from the company’s roadmap. The 3GAP (3nm Gate-All-Around Plus) process will be used to manufacture chips sometime in 2023, and it is expected to be available to a wider range of customers.

When Samsung had unveiled its MBCFET-based 3nm process node, it had promised a 35% performance increase, a 50% power consumption reduction, and a 45% area reduction compared to its 7nm LPP process. The company had announced that it expected to use the 3nm technology to make chips in 2021, but that has now been delayed to late 2022. Until then, Samsung Foundry’s clients are expected to switch to the 4LPE (4nm Low Power Early) and 4LPP (4nm Low Power Plus) process for their chips. Qualcomm is expected to be among those clients, and the Snapdragon 895 could be based on the 4nm tech.

Galaxy S22 to get 200MP Olympus camera and January 2022 launch

Once Samsung gets done with the August 11 launch of its new foldables, all eyes will then be on the company’s next flagship series. Since there won’t be a new Galaxy Note lineup in 2021, the Galaxy S22 series will be the next set of flagships from Samsung.

It’s silly season in the rumor mill with all sorts of claims flying around. The latest suggests that a 200-megapixel Olympus-branded camera will be onboard. January 2022 is when the Galaxy S22 launch might take place.

200MP camera and the S Pen are expected for the Galaxy S22

Citing multiple industry sources, a Korean publication is claiming that the Galaxy S22 launch will take place in January 2022. That’s not an outrageous claim. The Galaxy S21 series was unveiled in January last year and went on sale the same month. So a January launch would make sense.

The other claim is a bit out there. Apparently, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a 200-megapixel camera with the five-lens camera system carrying the Olympus branding. For those who are unaware, Olympus is a Japanese manufacturer of cameras and optical technology known globally for its high quality. A potential Samsung-Olympus collaboration was first floated about three months ago.

Smartphone manufacturers teaming up with big professional camera brands in not unheard of. It would be the first time that Samsung does something like this. Some even suggest that it was actually Olympus that approached Samsung with the idea of working jointly on smartphone camera technology.

Whether or not Samsung actually needs Olympus is another matter. Samsung used to make its own professional-grade mirrorless cameras. It’s also leading the way in smartphone camera technology. So a collaboration with Olympus might be beneficial from a marketing standpoint more than a technological one.

This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about the Galaxy S22 Ultra possibly featuring a 200-megapixel sensor. A recent report actually claimed that Samsung had given up on the idea. The Galaxy S22 Ultra was to feature Samsung’s third-generation 108MP ISOCELL HM3 sensor instead. It appears that at least some still believe that the 200MP camera remains a possibility.

Lastly, this report also claims that the Galaxy S22 Ultra is going to have S Pen support. The Galaxy S21 Ultra has it as well. So we can expect Samsung to maintain the status quo here.

Galaxy M21 Prime Edition launch date possibly revealed by Amazon

The Galaxy M21 isn’t a new device but Samsung has decided to relaunch the device. Several reports have highlighted that the company is going to relaunch this device as the Galaxy M21 Prime Edition.

Its name leaves no doubt as to where this device will go on sale. The Galaxy M21 Prime Edition has been prepared for Amazon and it will soon be available for purchase.

Galaxy M21 Prime Edition will launch with Android 11

Amazon itself is confirming that much. The company has put up a teaser on its online store which includes a render of the device along with a cryptic “21-21-21” message. This suggests that the device itself will be launched on July 21. It will then be available for purchase as part of Samsung’s Prime Day launch on July 26.

The Galaxy M21 Prime Edition will have the same specs as the standard Galaxy M21. This includes a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display, an Exynos 9611 processor with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The handset also features a 6,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging.

One big advantage that this device has is that it will come with Android 11 out of the box. This means that customers will get one additional Android OS upgrade in addition to an extra year of security updates.

Much like the Galaxy M31 Prime edition, this device may also have an Always On Amazon app accessible by a simple right swipe on the home screen. Customers can also expect a free trial of Amazon Prime for a couple of months. The Galaxy M21 Prime Edition will be sold exclusively through Amazon in India.

July 2021 security update now heading to Sprint’s Galaxy Z Flip

Samsung had started rolling out the July 2021 security update a couple of weeks ago. The new security patch was first released to the Galaxy S10 series, and then it was expanded to the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S21, Galaxy A52, and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. Now, the update has been released to the Sprint variant of the Galaxy Z Flip.

The carrier variant of the Galaxy Z Flip has started getting the new software update on Sprint’s network in the US. The latest update, which carries firmware version F700USQS4DUF1, includes the July 2021 security patch. It fixes some 20 vulnerabilities related to user privacy and security, including those related to Bluetooth. It also aims to fix the Android Auto bug that some Galaxy smartphone users were facing.

If you are a Galaxy Z Flip user on Sprint’s network in the US, you might have received a notification of the new software update. If you haven’t received the notification yet, you can check for the update manually by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also download the latest firmware file from our firmware database and flash it manually.

Samsung had launched the Galaxy Z Flip in early 2020 with Android 10 on board. The foldable smartphone received the Android 11-based One UI 3 update in December 2020 and the One UI 3.1 update three months ago. As per Samsung’s promise, the Galaxy Z Flip will receive two more Android OS updates.

The Galaxy S21 FE may not be that difficult to find after all

There has been a lot of confusion recently about the Galaxy S21 FE. Samsung’s affordable flagship is certainly due for a release this year but it’s facing a delay. We’ve already reported that the Galaxy S21 FE won’t be out until later in the year.

A recent report had claimed that even when the Galaxy S21 FE does go on sale, it will be difficult to find. The company was apparently considering a launch for very limited markets. That may not be the case.

You just might be able to get the Galaxy S21 after all

According to that report, Samsung was only going to release the Galaxy S21 FE in Europe and the United States. No other market would get the device, even those where an affordably priced flagship would do very well.

A Japanese news agency is now reporting that a Galaxy S21 FE model is now being prepared for launch as part of NTT DoCoMo’s fall lineup of new smartphones. If this is accurate, it suggests that a wider launch is indeed possible. Samsung may not keep the device limited to just Europe and the United States.

The global chip shortage is the reason why Samsung was rumored to make this decision in the first place. The shortage has already resulted in the Galaxy Note 21 being dropped from Samsung’s lineup this year. It’s also why the Galaxy S21 FE won’t launch as soon as it should have.

The actual release of this device is another matter. A major leak over the weekend revealed that the Galaxy S21 FE will be announced alongside Samsung’s new devices at the August 11 Unpacked event. If it’s not ready to provide a launch date yet, Samsung just might give a vague timeframe for the Galaxy S21 FE release.

Galaxy Z Fold 3 is thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 2

Samsung had mentioned earlier that it wants to make foldable devices thinner and lighter, and it appears to have done just that with the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The upcoming foldable smartphone from the South Korean firm passed through China’s TENAA certification process, revealing some of its important specifications.

According to the listing of the Chinese variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 (SM-F9260), the smartphone measures 158.2 x 128.1 x 6.4mm when it is unfolded. It means that the smartphone is slightly thinner than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 (which is 6.9mm thin). Going by the leaked images of Samsung’s upcoming foldable flagship, it appears to have less air gap between the two sides when it is folded. A lower air gap translates to a thinner body that also looks more appealing.

The phone’s TENAA listing also reveals that it features a 6.2-inch cover display, Android 11, and a 4,500mAh battery (dual batteries with 2,155mAh and 2,345mAh capacities). The Galaxy Z Fold 3 also features GPS, dual-SIM functionality, 5G NR (SA/NSA), LTE, and Bluetooth. Going by previous leaks, the phone sports a 7.55-inch foldable Super AMOLED display with a 16MP under-display selfie camera and S Pen functionality. It also has a side-mounted fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, and a USB Type-C port.

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is rumored to feature a 12MP+12MP+12MP triple rear-facing camera setup, consisting of a 12MP primary camera (1/1.76-inch), a 12MP ultrawide camera (1/3.2-inch ISOCELL 3L6) with autofocus, and a 12MP telephoto camera (1/3.6-inch ISOCELL 3M5) with 2x optical zoom. The primary and telephoto cameras are expected to have OIS and dual-pixel autofocus. The ultrawide camera can double up as a macro camera.

The smartphone features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB/16GB RAM, and 256GB/512GB internal storage. Other features include Samsung Pay and an official IP rating. Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 3 on August 11, 2021, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and the Galaxy Buds 2.
