South Korean tech giant Samsung is likely to unveil its new Galaxy-exclusive chipset at the launch of the flagship Galaxy S23 lineup launch. According to famed leakster Ice Universe, a poster by Samsung Columbia website revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be launching on February 1.
According to the latest leak by Universe, TM Roh, Samsung’s President of Mobile Experience Business, will unveil a “Galaxy dedicated chip” at the launch of the Galaxy S23 series.
To recall, earlier in April 2022, Roh had indicated that the South Korean tech major may be developing a dedicated chip for Galaxy handsets. Some reports say that Google's proprietary Tensor chip, which will be reintroduced in the upcoming Google Pixel Fold, will provide the same AI capabilities that Samsung is likely to include in its in-house chipset.
This would be the first high-end processor that is claimed to be developed utilising the second or third generation of 3-nm GAA manufacturing technology, which is used by Samsung Foundry. However, further details about the CPU’s features have not been made public yet.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is likely to borrow a feature from Apple iPhone 14 and also upgrade its fingerprint sensor. According to a recent report by tech publication ETNews, the Galaxy S23 series is likely to feature the satellite connectivity that we have seen in this year's iPhone 14 lineup.
The South Korean tech giant has joined hands with partner Iridium Communications to bring some sort of satellite communication system to the Galaxy S23 line, the report added. Iridium Communications is into providing voice calling and data communication services through 66 low-orbit satellites. Samsung has been working with Iridium for close to two years to bring the satellite connectivity feature to its smartphones.
