    Samsung starts mass production of advanced 3nm chips

    Samsung Electronics, which is vying with Taiwan’s TSMC for market dominance, declared on Thursday that it had begun mass producing advanced 3-nanometer microchips.

    Before being employed in devices like mobile phones, the new chips will be used in high-performance computer applications. They will be smaller, more powerful, and efficient.

    The first-generation 3nm technology, according to Samsung, “can reduce power consumption by up to 45 per cent, boost performance by 23 per cent, and reduce the area by 16 per cent” when compared to the 5nm process.

    The South Korean company stated last month that it would “push ahead the mass production of chips based on the 3-nanometer technology” with a five-year plan to invest 450 trillion won (US$356 billion).

    Only two businesses, Samsung and Taiwan’s TSMC produce the great majority of the most sophisticated microchips in the world, and both are currently operating at maximum capacity to address a global shortage.

    Although it dominates the memory chip market, Samsung has been unable to keep up with TSMC in the advanced foundry sector.

    According to TrendForce, TSMC holds a majority of the worldwide foundry business with clients like Apple and Qualcomm, while Samsung is in second place with a market share of about 16 per cent.

    As per the company’s 2021 annual report, TSMC intends to start 3-nanometer technology volume production in the second half of this year and 2-nanometer technology development last year.

  • Samsung Galaxy S23 to get a massive camera upgrade: Leak

    Samsung Galaxy S23 to get a massive camera upgrade: Leak

    Soon after the release of the Galaxy S22 series, a source claimed that Samsung had begun “Project Diamond” development on the Galaxy S23 series. More details regarding the company’s upcoming flagship devices are now becoming available months later.

    Samsung will reportedly update the selfie camera in the vanilla and larger editions of the forthcoming Galaxy S series phones, according to a claim by GalaxyClub. The business has been utilising the same front-facing camera since 2019 for those who are unaware.

    The same 10MP selfie camera is included in every Galaxy S series phone (apart from Ultra variants), from the Galaxy S10 series to the Galaxy S22 series. Apparently, this will finally change with the coming generation.

    According to the rumour, Samsung would equip the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus with a 12MP front-facing camera. The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s selfie camera is not mentioned in any way. A 40MP front-facing camera has been standard on Ultra variants up to this point.

    The Galaxy S23 series’ 12MP selfie camera’s placement underneath the display or inside a punch-hole is unknown at this time. We anticipate learning more information about the devices in the upcoming months as their release is still over a year away.

    Pakistan manufactured 9.72 million mobile phones in four months: Report

    Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) revealed that domestic plants produced 9.72 million mobile devices in the first four months of 2022, contrasted to 0.86 million acquired internationally.

    In April 2022, local manufacturing plants developed 2.56 million mobile devices, compared to 0.25 million imported from other countries.

    According to Brecorder, 5.69 million 2G smartphones and 4.03 million 3G and 4G phones are among the 9.72 million mobile handsets developed or assembled locally. 53 per cent of mobile devices on the Pakistan network are 3G and 4G smartphones, while 47 per cent are 2G.

    Despite the growth in local mobile phone production, Pakistan acquired $1.810 billion worth of cellphones in the first ten months of 2021-22, contrasted to $1.684 billion in the same period the previous year, a 7.43 per cent increase, as per the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS).

    Total telecommunications imports into the country climbed by 14.05 per cent during the review period (July-April) 2021-22, rising from $2.116 billion in July-April 2020-21 to $2.413 billion in the same period last year.

    According to PTA data, the local manufacturing tendency indicates a favourable response to the PTA’s Mobile Device Manufacturing (MDM) Authorization regulatory system.
