Samsung to pursue its premium audio brands for Galaxy devices

Published

on


At this time, every manufacturer gets a partnership with a well-established and popularly-known brand to increase the market value of its product and enhance brand equity. Yet, it seems that Samsung doesn’t want to put itself on this line, as it hasn’t appeared to grab any co-branding opportunities for its Galaxy devices so far. Previously, it was rumored that the Galaxy S22 flagship might feature an Olympus-branded camera setup, but we all know, as time surpassed, these turned out to be some hollow render only which clearly shows the disagreement of the manufacturer towards co-branding. 

Unlike Samsung, many other OEMs such as OnePlus, Vivo, and Huawei have teamed up with popular brands, of which OnePlus has collaborated with Hasselblad for the OnePlus 9 series, Huawei teamed up with Leica, and Vivo with Carl Zeiss. On the other hand, Apple, which Samsung considers its sole rival, also doesn’t use any brand name with its brand equity. It seems that both of these leading OEMs believe that their products are enough on their own, and they don’t want any brand name’s advantage for their effective marketing. 

If you remember, the South Korean tech manufacturer bought Harman International in the year 2016, which handed over the reins of many premium audio brands to Samsung. In this sequence, brands such as Bang & Olufsen, JBL, AKG, Harman Kardon, and others are included. Albeit, the manufacturer hasn’t used these brands much in its devices, except for a few of them only. For example, they have made a major deal of shipments of AKG-tuned earphones with the Galaxy S8 devices previously, but now they don’t seem to lure the brand name anymore. 

However, at this time, the story looks different because Samsung is expected to utilize its premium audio brands in its Galaxy devices. According to Sammobile, the High-end flagships of Samsung, from the Galaxy S series to the Galaxy Z series, may come with either Bang & Olufsen or Harman Kardon-tuned speakers, which will help to improve the audio quality of these flagships. For the mid-range devices of Samsung, such as the Galaxy A series, JBL will sit best. And so on, for the other Galaxy devices in Samsung’s broad lineup, the audio brand AKG will be suitable. As Samsung owns these premium audio brands, it will be a great advantage to use them in Galaxy devices for a better audio experience.

The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ recently introduced its mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy A55, which is powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset. Let’s take a closer look at this chipset. 

Initially, Samsung did not announce the name of the chipset, but now it appears that the giants are now setting up to formally announce their latest mid-range Exynos chipset. The fans eagerly wanted to know the key details of the Exynos 1480 mid-range chipset. So here we are mentioning the key details of the chipset: 

Samsung Foundry’s 4nm (4LPP+) process node powers the newest Exynos 1480, a significant upgrade over the 5nm Exynos 1380 chip from last year. This chipset includes: 

  • Four ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.75GHz 
  • Four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz 

The Korean giants stated that this new Exynos chip is 22% more power-efficient than its predecessor. Also, this chipset is suitable for LPDDR4x/LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. 

The Exynos 1480 is the first mid-range chipset of the Exynos family, which is an AMD RDNA-based Xclipse 530 GPU. This will enhance the experience by delivering a seamless Full HD+ resolution display at a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Apart from this, if the reports are to be believed, this GPU uses AMD’s RDNA 2 technique. 

The brand also assures on its website that it uses the latest RDNA technique, named RDNA 3. Samsung also claimed that the Exynos 1480 will deliver 53% faster GPU performance as compared to the Exynos 1380. It has some advanced gaming features, such as variable rate shading (VRS) and super resolution (frame upscaling). 

The ISP, which stands for Image Signal Processor, supports at least 200 MP camera sensors, and it has the power to process frames from two camera sensors that are 32 MP + 32 MP together along with zero shutter lag or one 64 MP camera sensor with zero shutter lag and HDR. It has the power to record 4K 60fps videos. The built-in AI Engine (NPU) has 4x faster on-device AI performance as compared to its predecessor. This has fabricated a 5G model with mmWave and sub-6GHz network compatibility. The rest of the connectivity features of the Exynos 1480 include GNSS (BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, and GPS), Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a USB Type-C port.

Samsung Praises Google’s Circle to Search for AI-Powered Features. Samsung debuted this feature on its Galaxy S24 flagship series back in 2024, which is grabbing more publicity. 

Samsung introduced ‘Galaxy AI’, a bundle of AI-generated features on the Galaxy S24 series initially, and now it’s already started making them available to more Galaxy flagship devices from 2023 through the latest One UI 6.1 update. 

Samsung’s Galaxy AI includes various features, including Circle to Search, Live Translate, Transcript Assist, Call Assist, Note Assist, AI-powered editing tools, and many more. Among all of them, the Circle to Search feature is the one that is gaining the most popularity on the Galaxy S24 smartphone. 

The fact is that the Korean giants are not even responsible for their’most  popular’ Circle to Search feature, which is the most popular among all AI-powered ones since it is a feature with Google, which means that Google is responsible and deserves praise, and regarding this, Samsung stated that: 

“Circle to Search with Google revolutionized the way users search, helping it become the most widely used AI feature amongst Galaxy S24 users. It allows them to learn more about almost anything on their screens quickly with a simple gesture, without having to switch apps.”

Before Samsung, Google already introduced this Circle to Search feature on its Pixel 8 series and Pixel 7 series smartphones in a similar style as it is available on the Galaxy S24 series. 

The only fact is that Samsung hugely advertises this feature, whereas Google appears quite a bit into advertising this Circle to Search feature.
