Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, aka TSMC, which is the world’s largest foundry, is all set to start the mass production of its 3nm chips this week.

Apple, which is among the top customers for the Taiwan-based company, will be the primary customer for the chips manufactured using this new process and will be a part of the tech giant’s M2 lineup.

As per the report, TSMC will start mass production of 3nm chips on 29th December, Thursday, which is in line with the previous reports, which indicated that the company could start mass production of the 3nm node process by the end of the year.

It is said that TSMC will hold a ceremony at Fab 18 at the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) on December 29 to mark the start of commercial production of chips using 3nm process technology. It will also detail plans to expand 3nm chip production at the fab, according to sources at semiconductor equipment companies.

For Apple, before the A17 Bionic chip for the upcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Ultra models, the Cupertino-based company is expected to place orders for the 3nm M2 Pro chip, which will be powering the upcoming MacBook Pro and the Mini Mini. Both these chips, A17 Bionic and M2 Pro, are expected to ship later next year.

Samsung is also able to mass produce 3nm chips using Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors, allowing more precise control of current flow through each transistor and improved power efficiency. TSMC will be using FinFET transistors for the 3nm node but will adopt GAA transistors for the 2nm chips, which is likely to happen in 2025.

Apple will be launching its next-generation iPhone 14 series smartphones in the coming months and it appears that the company has some high hopes for the upcoming lineup.

As per the latest report, Apple has started trial production of the iPhone 14 series smartphones and is expecting the phones to sell more than its predecessors.

The report claims that the trial production for the iPhone 14 lineup has started and the company is planning to start the mass production of the smartphones in August. It further adds that Apple has informed suppliers that the initial sales of the new iPhone 14 series will be higher than the iPhone 13 lineup launched last year.

The expectations for the sales from Apple are in line with what the market analysts are speculating. Many analysts believe that the next-gen Apple iPhone series could outperform the smartphone industry globally if major economies fall into recession.

Apple has been seeing good results in terms of sales despite the overall smartphone demand appearing to be cooling off. The company is still seeing good sales momentum for the iPhone 13 lineup, contrary to its track record of iPhone sales slowing down from the month of July in anticipation of the next-gen model.

It is also being said that the pricing of the Apple iPhone 14 series could be $100 more than its predecessor because of many factors, including the rising cost of raw materials, supply constraints, and other economic reasons. There’s a possibility that the Cupertino-based tech giant may not increase the pricing, so we will have to wait for a couple of months to know for sure about the iPhone 14 series pricing details.

Samsung has been working on its next-generation Galaxy S-series smartphones which will be launched early next year. Now, months ahead of the official launch, a new report claims that the South Korean giant has started mass production of some of the components for the upcoming flagship smartphones.

The report coming from WinFuture claims that Samsung has started mass production of components for the three upcoming flagship phones — Galaxy S22 (SM-S901), Galaxy S22 Plus (SM-S906), and the Galaxy S22 Ultra (SM-S908).

It further adds that the process, which started sometime last week, is currently limited to a small number of parts, such as flex cables. Also, the report says that the company is currently focusing on the US variant and will then work on other models.

As for the launch date, there’s no confirmation about it. Some reports indicate that the devices will go official towards the end of January 2022 while there are other reports indicating the launch sometime in February.

Earlier, there were reports about the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup getting launched in January but apparently, the launch has been pushed back to February as the company is now gearing up to launch the much-delayed Galaxy S21 FE in January 2022. This could happen during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022.

Coming to the specifications, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is rumored to sport a 6.8-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with a 120HZ refresh rate. The phone will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 SoC or the Exynos 2200 depending on the region.

Its rear-facing camera module may include a 108-megapixel main snapper, a 12-megapixel ultrawide shooter, a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 10-megapixel periscope zoom lens with 10x optical zoom.

The smartphone is also said to feature a dedicated slot for storing the S Pen stylus. In the software devices, all the models in the lineup will come with Android 12-based One UI 4.0 out-of-the-box. The S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra are likely to house a 3,700mAh, a 4,500mAh, and a 5,000mAh battery, respectively.

The LG Velvet will begin mass production for the US market next month, according to industry sources; while six older have been confirmed to receive the Velvet UI update as well.

LG Velvet Mass Production

The South Korean tech giant is apparently aiming at shipping 300,000 units for the US market. This would make the device the flagship handset for the second half of this year. Traditionally, the year started off with a G series LG flagship followed by a V series in the second half, but this has since shifted to the launch of Velvet. The production of the new device will begin in August 2020.

Notably, LG will be adding a millimeter (mm) wave antenna made by Qualcomm, which wasn’t included in the South Korean variant. This also caused certain design changes, with the US version of the Velvet having a thinner frame on the sides to support better signal transfer in mmWave networking. At the moment, the US is the only country that has a commercialized mmWave spectrum, thus, the device will take advantage of it.

Velvet UI Update

LG is also planning on updating its older generation of flagship models to the new Velvet UI. The company has been criticized in the past for neglecting older launches, but it seems that LG is mending its ways. It seems that the smartphone maker is dropping the UX naming in favor of the Velvet UI. The devices set to receive the update includes the V50 ThinQ, V50S ThinQ, V40 ThinQ, V35 ThinQ, G8 ThinQ, and G7 ThinQ.

Unfortunately, this update is only available for the company’s home country of South Korea. So we have no idea when or whether or not LG would roll out the update for the global market. We will keep you posted regarding any developments on the matter, so stay tuned for more.

Smartphone manufacturers have been trying for years to achieve a full screen body on the front. Methods to achieve this include punch hole camera, popup mechanism, or even a water drop notch. But recently, the anticipation for an Under Display camera has been growing, and now, Visionox has confirmed that its OLED panel with this technology is ready for mass production.

The company has said that its the under screen camera solution is ready and it has achieved one of the best display results. Visionox has used transparent OLED panel on devices, which has resulted in a balanced offering of display quality and photographic performance. This will allow smartphone OEMs to make full front display bodies on their offerings and is also the world’s first under-screen camera solution to reach mass production.

Despite smartphone vendors having showcased the under screen camera technology, a smartphone with this feature has yet to launch. Oppo had previously mentioned that the technology would likely not be seen in 2020 since image quality suffered. Furthermore, it would also likely be expensive, and shipping a high end flagship with a sub par front camera is infeasible.

Interestingly, Huawei’s upcoming Mate 40 series was initially rumored to feature this new camera technology as well. Although, recent reports have said otherwise. Hence, it would be more likely for a future handset to launch with this feature. However, it remains to be seen just how well this iteration of the technology performs in real life.

Xiaomi had initially announced the Mi Mix Alpha back on 24th September 2019, which has garnered a lot of attention ever since. One of its unique selling points was definitely its unique surround screen technology, that had the display cover a vast majority of the smartphone’s body. From what we know so far, it is a concept handset that will likely not see mass production like Xiaomi’s other flagships and would only be released in limited numbers.

Although the interview confirmed that the company can technically start mass production, Xiaomi needs to first coordinate with the local Chinese Government and other smartphone-related departments before selling the product on a large scale. As of right now, the Mi Mix Alpha stands as a testimony to Xiaomi’s innovative creations and technological developments, according to Cui Baoqiu.
