Samsung introduces its original Color E-Paper display
Samsung, at the Infocomm 2024 expo in Las Vegas, USA, unfolds its Color E-Paper TV. It’s the first time the Korean giant unveiled its Color E-Paper TV.
The Korean giant introduced Color E-Paper TV, a working prototype that uses a color e-ink display panel and can be used for advertising. It will be beneficial in specific places such as malls, offices, public areas, restaurants, retail stores, and various other places to display ads, menus, products, and more.
Samsung Color E-Paper display
The Korean giant’s first Color E-Paper TV is an ultra-low-power 32-inch digital display. The brand has been dedicated to low-power advertising use cases. The screen displays files from its internal storage for advertising or any other need. It features QHD resolution along with a palette of 60,000 colors. The EMDX is slim and lightweight, with a measurement count of 17.9 mm and a weight of 2.9 kg.
The South Korean brand assures that this digital signage can display content without using any power. According to Samsung Electronics, the Color E-Paper TV can display content while consuming 0 watts of power, and it only uses energy when the content being displayed is changed. As per the International Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC62301 study, power consumption of less than 0.005W can be marketed as 0.00W.
The Color E-Paper features 8GB of storage for content, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and two USB-C ports. It boasts a slim bezel that can be customized, such as Samsung’s The Frame TV. The brand has made it compatible with standard wall mounts for flexible placement on ceilings, tablets, or walls.

Samsung started working on the Galaxy S25 series, which is supposed to be launched early next year. This forthcoming device is expected to be priced higher as compared to its predecessor.
Samsung will expand its high-end S series by introducing a next-gen smartphone series named the Galaxy S25. It’s too early to discuss the Galaxy S25, but leaks and rumors are doing their jobs by offering more details about the upcoming Galaxy S25. This upcoming device is expected to cost more than the current S-series devices.
The reason behind this report appears to be that a Galaxy S25 will be more expensive than a Galaxy S24 due to its higher manufacturing costs. The US chip designer Qualcomm could push the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 into production in the second half of the year. This latest chipset is expected to boost AI processing.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be a truly advanced chip, but its high-end tech advancements might lead to higher costs, which could translate into a price hike for the upcoming Galaxy S25. The report suggested that, according to a recent prediction from industry watcher Ming-Chi Kuo, Qualcomm might increase the cost of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 by 25–30% compared to the Gen 3 solution.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be manufactured on the 3nm N3E process by TSMC; it’s the same technique used to build Apple’s A18 Pro chip. This shift will supposedly cause the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to be 25–30% more expensive than its predecessor. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 costs around $190–$200; by this metric, the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 might cost $260.
However, Samsung could deal with the higher expenses of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for the Galaxy S25 by absorbing the cost or reducing the quality in other areas, such as the battery or display, but this could be risky, such as switching to its in-house Exynos 2500 chip. The upcoming chipset will be fabricated from TSMC’s most advanced process and should bring performance gains to the CPU, GPU, and NPU (AI processing).
