Samsung Galaxy S23 series may feature a next-gen Qualcomm fingerprint scanner

The Galaxy S23, Samsung’s flagship smartphone series, is expected to feature Qualcomm’s 3rd Generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

The Galaxy S10 became the first Samsung phone to include an ultrasonic fingerprint reader beneath the display. However, its performance was inconsistent. Qualcomm’s second-generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensor was included in the Galaxy S21. It appears that Samsung’s next-generation rising smartphone will include an even improved fingerprint reader.

The Galaxy S23, according to rumours, will include Qualcomm’s 3rd Generation ultrasonic fingerprint reader. However, we’re not sure whether it’s the same 3D Sonic Max sensor Qualcomm introduced earlier this year or a completely new fingerprint scanner. We’re in for a treat if it’s the 3D Sonic Max, which is the world’s largest and most advanced fingerprint reader.

The Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max scanner has a surface area of 20mm x 30mm, which is nearly 10 times larger than the 3-dimensional Sonic Gen 2 8mm x 8mm scanner utilized in the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra. It’s already in the iQOO 9 Pro as well as the Vivo X80 Pro.

It has five times the accuracy of the 3-dimensional Sonic Gen 2 and can cater to two fingers at the same time for added security. It even claims to support one-tap fingerprint registration, which greatly simplifies the procedure of registering fingerprints.

The Galaxy S23 series is also expected to include an E6 LTPO 3.0 Super AMOLED display with 2,200 nits of peak brightness, a 200 MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor S23 Ultra only, a Snapdragon 8 Generation 2 processor, LPDDR5X RAM, Wi-Fi 7, UFS 4.0 storage and urgent or emergency messaging through the use of satellite communication.

All eyes are now on the release of Samsung’s next flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S23 series has already been the subject of numerous rumours and reports. The launch is already expected to take place in early 2023. A new report now offers some additional information.

According to reports, Samsung will hold a complete Unpacked event for the Galaxy S23 release in San Francisco. It’d be the first live event as they were halted due to the global epidemic.

Samsung Delays Galaxy Tab S9 Series Launch

Due to recent economic uncertainties, South Korean electronics giant Samsung is reportedly delaying the release of its next-generation Galaxy Tab S9 series.

According to The Elec GizmoChina, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tab S8 series earlier this year, one and a half years after the release of the Galaxy Tab S7 family. The company had planned to unveil its upcoming premium tablets in December. However, according to the source, they will now be released the following year.

According to the report, Samsung’s decision is the result of recent global economic uncertainty.

In accordance with the report, as the global pandemic of Covid-19 nears its end, demand for IT products has begun to fall globally. Samsung originally planned to produce 33.6 million tablets in 2022. However, due to low demand, the company may be unable to carry out its plans.

The global tablet market will contract by 8% this year, according to DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants). However, the premium tablet category (OLED and Mini LED) is supposed to grow by 22%.

According to reports, Samsung has devised a new strategy for its upcoming flagship tablets. The Galaxy Tab S9 series, like the Galaxy Tab S8 series, is said to have three versions.

In the last 24 hours, Samsung has sold over 1.2 million Galaxy devices in India, totaling Rs 1,000 crore. On the first day of the online festive sales, Samsung India said it sold more than 1.2 million Galaxy devices worth more than Rs 1,000 crore (by value). The Galaxy series of smartphones were among the most popular devices on both Amazon and Flipkart. In terms of monetary value, Samsung sold Galaxy devices worth over Rs 1,000 crore in 24 hours.

According to the company, the Galaxy M13 was the best-selling device, while the recently launched Galaxy M32 Prime Edition was among the top choices for Amazon’s Kickstarter deals. In less than 12 hours, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 received over 50,000 pre-orders.

On the first day of Flipkart’s Big Billion Days, Samsung doubled its platform market share. The Galaxy F13 was a top seller in the 4G segment, while the Galaxy F23 was the most popular 5G smartphone on Flipkart.

According to the company, the Galaxy S21 FE and Galaxy S22+ sold well in the premium segment on Flipkart. Samsung has also stated that it intends to consolidate its 5G and overall smartphone leadership in the country.

“Galaxy M33 was the top-selling 5G smartphone on Amazon. Galaxy S22, the biggest deal of the year on Amazon, and Galaxy S20 FE were among the top sellers in the premium segment on Amazon,” according to the company.

Samsung is trying its best to enhance the user experience. In a real-world camera test, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra easily defeats Huawei’s P40 Pro. Huawei P40 Pro is the Chinese tech giant’s latest flagship. It is not, however, the best flagship available. In a real-world camera test, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra outperforms the Huawei P40 Pro.

Samsung has also made the Buy Now, Pay Later option available for its Galaxy S22 Series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphones. This offer is available at retail stores across India to ICICI Bank Credit cardholders with a minimum credit limit of Rs. 1.50 lakhs. Samsung’s Buy Now, Pay Later scheme also requires no down payment and charges a 1% processing fee.

It is also planning to consolidate its 5G and overall smartphone dominance in the country.

Samsung partnered with Axis Bank to launch their credit card in India

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Suhani Jain

Samsung India declared its first ever credit card in India on Monday 26 September 2022. Samsung partnered with Axis Bank and visa to launch this credit card that will offer the users a 10 percent cashback on all Samsung products and services around the year.

It has entered a crowded category that sees about 50 firms compete for users’ attention in the world’s second-largest internet market.

“The Samsung Axis Bank Credit Card, powered by Visa, is our next big India-specific innovation that will change the way our customers buy Samsung products,” said Ken Kang, President and CEO, Samsung South-West Asia.

The South Korean tech giant, Samsung partnered with Axis Bank headquartered in Mumbai, and Global payments processor Visa to launch the cards known by the name ‘Samsung Axis Bank Credit Card’.

There is a monthly cap of 2500 INR (roughly $31) on the signature card. However, the infinite card extends that limit by four times.

The cashback is capped at 10,000 INR ($123) yearly on the signature card and 20,000 INR (about $246) on the infinite card.

The second largest smartphone seller in India, Samsung, has claimed that it will provide its customers with exciting financing options on credit cards. These cards are especially aimed at serving users in smaller Indian cities and towns.

Even if the space that Samsung is entering is really crowded and narrow but the opportunity here is undoubtedly large. According to industry estimates, Indian banks have issued about a billion debit cards to customers in the country but only fewer than 25 million unique individuals in the nation have a credit card.

Users will receive rewards on their spending through their cards and get access to deals from local companies such as food delivery platform Zomato, fashion e-commerce Myntra, grocer Bigbasket, online pharmacy Tata’s 1 mg, and Urban Company.

The announcement made on Monday underscores smartphone makers growing attempt to expand their services. Chinese giant, Xiaomi, which dominates the smartphone market in the country, rolled out a payment service powered by UPI in India in 2019 and started to lend customers last year.

Co-branded cards are generally beneficial for both the partner brand and the customers as it enables power users of a brand to get higher benefits as they spend more time with the brand.

“We realize that 70 percent of consumers are upgrading their devices within 12 months of purchase in the country. This co-branded credit card will help them save their hard-earned money while enjoying new devices with this industry-first offering,” Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, Mobile Business, Samsung India, told IANS.
“The card is RBI-complaint and meets all the latest requirements of the central bank, including on tokenisation. The consumer electronics and technology space is open for disruption and we are the first, along with Samsung, to distrust this space,” Sanjeev Moghe, President and Head, Cards and Payments at Axis Bank, told IANS.

On the signature card, the annual fee is $6.13 before taxes. However, the infinite card levies a charge by 10 times the current value. The firm claims that it will soon begin accepting applications from customers for the card.

The card also provides complimentary airport lounge access, dining offers, a fuel surcharge waiver, and access to a bundle of offers from Axis Bank and Visa.

MD and chief executive officer of Axis Bank, Amitabh Choudhary, said that their main focus is to provide product prepositions and cares for the customers’ evolving needs and offer them a seamless experience.

Samsung Launches ‘Space Tycoon’ On Metaverse Within The Roblox World.

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Roshni Ankola

Samsung Electronics has released a new Roblox experience called Samsung Space Tycoon, which is a virtual playground within the Roblox game universe. Users can develop and play games in the virtual space, as well as share their experiences with Samsung devices with alien beings in space. The business simulation “tycoon” genre can also provide design and functionality cues. According to a message released by Samsung, Space Tycoon was built specifically for Gen Z clients. The service offers a seamless metaverse experience that enables users to create and enjoy their Samsung products.

Through the new virtual experience, customers may also interact with one another. According to Jinsoo Kim, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics’ Corporate Design Center, Space Tycoon is a playground for users to explore the endless possibilities of virtual spaces.

“We wanted to give our Gen Z customers a chance to experience Samsung products in a way they have never done before. We will continue to showcase content that can deliver more meaningful and entertaining digital experiences for both our current and future customers.” Kim added

The newly-launched experience has three core play areas and is set in the Samsung Space Station as well as the research laboratory where alien characters perform research on Samsung’s newest items. The ‘Mining Zone’ is for resource acquisition, the ‘Shop’ is for gaming item buying, and the ‘Lab’ is for product manufacture. Players must mine for minerals before using the materials to construct Samsung items in a space factory.

Space Tycoon users may create everything from Samsung Galaxy smartphones to TVs and various home gadgets. In addition, players can purchase game stuff or enhance their current tools. There is also a possibility for innovation by transforming a real-world thing into an in-game product.

“The foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip can transform into a bag or a scooter, just as users will be more creative with the Jet Bot vacuum cleaner transforming into a hoverboard or The Sero lifestyle TV transforming into a one-person helicopter,” Samsung explained.

Users will have access to over 20 Samsung products in the ‘Shop’ section of the experience. As the player progresses through the stages, the colors of the things change at random.

What is the Metaverse?

A network of three-dimensional virtual environments geared toward social interaction is known as a metaverse. It is defined as a simulated digital environment that employs augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain, as well as social media principles, to build spaces for rich user interaction that resemble the real world. The term “Metaverse” was coined by science fiction author Neal Stephenson in his book Snow Crash, which describes the meeting of lifelike avatars in realistic 3D environments and other virtual reality scenarios.

Samsung has participated in a number of software experiences focused on gaming and entertainment. The company has been working on a number of initiatives with important partners in the area. One of these is the NFT platform, which was developed in collaboration with Nifty Gateway, a famous NFT marketplace, and would allow the platform to provide its NFTs through Samsung smart TVs.

In addition, the corporation has invested in entities whose primary mission is to create metaverse-based platforms. It participated in the Series A funding round for Doubleme, a Korean metaverse firm, in April. Similarly, in January, the corporation opened its own store in Decentraland, one of the most popular metaverses. The company, however, has not revealed hardware devoted to supporting these experiences, instead focusing on the software side of things. While virtual reality and augmented reality are frequently associated with the metaverse, others remain suspicious of what this term truly entails.

190GB Of Data Allegedly Stolen From Samsung Leaked By Nvidia Hackers.

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Team YTS

LAPSUS$, the hackers group responsible for the recent Nvidia data breach, claims to have hacked Samsung and stolen nearly 200GB of sensitive data.

The 190GB trove of exposed files includes source code for Samsung’s activation servers, bootloaders and biometric unlock algorithms for all recently released Samsung devices, and trusted applets for Samsung’s TrustZone environment. The leaked data is also thought to include Qualcomm’s confidential source code.

Members of the LAPSUS$ hackers group have claimed responsibility for the data breach, posting details of the data obtained in a Telegram channel and encouraging other members to “enjoy” the contents made available for Torrent download.

According to the message, the hackers also got “a variety of other data,” but the elements listed could put Samsung device users in immediate danger of being hacked or impersonated by cybercriminals.

Because the trusted applets (TA) source codes obtained by LAPSUS$ are installed in Samsung’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) known as TrustZone, the hackers – and anyone who has downloaded the Torrent files – may be able to bypass Samsung’s hardware cryptography, binary encryption, and access control.

The total size of the leaked data is around 190GB, which LAPSUS$ divided into three compressed files, and the torrent has already been downloaded and shared by over 400 peers.

According to a Samsung spokesperson, the company “immediately after discovering the incident” took steps to strengthen its security system.

“According to our preliminary findings, the breach involves some source code related to Galaxy device operation, but no personal information about our customers or employees. At this time, we do not expect any impact on our business or customers. We’ve put safeguards in place to prevent future incidents, and we’ll continue to serve our customers as usual “, they had informed.
Source: www.itpro.co.uk

Qualcomm has yet to respond, and it’s unclear whether the hacking group had any demands for Samsung before leaking the private information.

Researchers discovered “severe” security flaws in a long line of Samsung flagship smartphones just weeks ago, which if exploited could allow attackers to steal cryptographic keys.

It also comes just five days after Nvidia confirmed that on February 26th, the LAPSUS$ hacking group successfully breached its systems and distributed 1TB of confidential company data, including security credentials for 71,000 former and current Nvidia employees.

The data was obtained through a double extortion scheme that entailed compromising a victim and stealing data before encrypting their machine, as well as threatening to leak the stolen data if the ransom is not paid. In the last year, the number of double extortion cases has increased, with one in every seven cases resulting in the loss of sensitive information.

It is worth noting that LAPSUS$’ attacks coincide with a spike in cyber warfare due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, yet the hacking group maintains that its actions are not politically motivated.

According to Matt Aldridge, principal solutions analyst at Carbonite and Webroot, “these gangs continue to be more inventive with the types of data and businesses they target,” similar to “most modern cyber attacks.”

“Given the high-profile nature of the victim, the hackers may have posted a message releasing Samsung’s data along with a snapshot of its source code in order to gain additional leverage in the event of a ransom demand. However, because the data breach has already occurred and the data has been exfiltrated, no ransom payment can ensure that all copies of the data are securely destroyed “, he said.
