Samsung vRAN 3.0 Roadmap Unveiled: What to Expect in the Next Phase of 5G Innovation
The South Korean tech firm Samsung has recently announced the next phase of its 5G vRAN. They said that they are bringing next-level capabilities for its virtualized RAN (vRAN), which will improve its performance and increase the rate of power saving. The South Korean firm has also said that they will launch vRAN 3.0, the next phase of 5G vRAN technology, by the fall of this year.
Let us inform you the new update of Samsung’s cloud-based automation system for large-scale vRAN is now available in Asia, Europe, and North America. Specifically, the Samsung Cloud Orchestrator (SCO), which automates the lifecycle management of large-scale vRAN, has received an upgrade. It also got the support of the automation of vRAN deployment of private and public, both cloud networks.
What new the new vRAN 3.0 5G technology will bring
Let us inform you the new 5G vRAN 3.0 technology will bring improvements in two fields- Performance Optimization and Power Savings. Let’s take a look at them.
Performance Optimization
In terms of performance optimization, Samsung has made improvements in cell support and modem algorithm. With a software update, vRAN will get the ability to provide 3 Cell configuration of 200MHz bandwidth support. To make it possible, it will use its 64T64R Massive MIMO radios, which is more than the triple of previous generation software. It is capable of supporting an entire mid-band 5G spectrum holding of an operator.
Apart from this, Samsung is also incorporating a modem algorithm optimization approach for developing its roadmap. This approach lets the operator receive software fitted to their needs. The software will have the required features and configurations only, which allows an optimized and efficient use of COTS servers.
Power Savings
To deliver better power-saving capabilities, the company has made quite a few changes and improvements, which specifically are- CPU Core Sleep Mode, Adaptive Core Allocation, and Energy Saving Feature Orchestrator (ESFO). All these three features will help to reduce power consumption and lead to an increment in power saving. So, let’s keep an eye on them.
First, the CPU Core Sleep Mode, which is available on Sammsung’s vRAN software, will reduce power consumption. To make it possible, this mode will automatically put the CPU in sleep mode and turns the unused CPU cores off when the device is in low data traffic. Sleep mode will be undone, and the CPU will be back to normal when needed or when the capacity demand increases.
The second Adaptive Core Allocation feature enables 5G vRAN 3.0, which will assign several CPU cores relevant to the number of active cells. For even more power consumption, it sets unassigned or unused CPUs to idle mode, so they can not absorb power. And exactly like the CPU Core Sleep Mode, the CPU and its cores get back to normal wherever the capacity demand increases.
The last Energy Saving Feature Orchestrator (ESFO) does the work of a manager. It manages multiple energy-saving features and optimizes efficiency without any service interruption. Informatively, it analyzes hourly traffic patterns and optimizes the operating conditions of the Energy Saving feature according to sector and time zone. Its tools constantly update multi-level Energy Saving operations of multiple features.
As per the official Newsroom blog post, the new vRAN capabilities will make their way to global operators, and the beginning will be in North America; the update will roll out here in the first half of the year 2023.
Samsung is adding one more functionality, ‘Relumino Mode’, from its smart TVs to its Galaxy smartphones for users’ overall viewing experience.
The Korean giant introduced the Relumino Mode feature on Samsung Smart TVs, which enhances the viewing experience for people with low vision. It improves particular parts of the content on the TV’s display, such as contrast, color, and sharpness. Now the giant has decided to bring Relumino, an accessibility feature, from TVs to particular Galaxy smartphones, which it initially showed off at CES 2023.
Somewhere, Relumino Mode’s functionality and features appear similar to the color contrast setting that was earlier available to access now with Android 15 Beta 2. In a new blog post, Samsung wrote, “Relumino Mode is the product of years of research and development to advance Samsung’s goal of providing “Screens for All” and improving the viewing experience for those with limited vision,” which highlights a range of accessibility features that it delivers.
However, at the moment, it’s not clear whether this feature needs specific display hardware or if it’s purely a software-side update. According to Samsung’s blog post, the Galaxy S24 series “and beyond” should be able to access Relumino Mode now. The feature appears on the Galaxy S23+ devices that are running One UI 6.1, but unfortunately not on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 or the Galaxy Z Fold 4, even after running the same interface.
Owners of Galaxy phones with One UI 6.1 can easily check if the new convenient mode is available on their device or not by just following the steps mentioned here: go to Settings >> Accessibility >> Vision Enhancements >> Relumino outline.
On the other hand, Apple also introduced new accessibility features that should land later this year, which include eye tracking to control iPhones and iPads.

Samsung and Apple are the two biggest rivals of each other in the tech industry, as both brands never miss the chance to put down each other’s firm. Now the Korean giant has published a new commercial for its current flagship tablet, and the key reason behind this is pretty clear: to throw a dig at the competition.
Apple introduced a new iPad at a lunch event on May 7th. During the event, the giant also showed a commercial called ‘Crush’ that resulted in a lot of controversy.
Apple showcases a hydraulic press physically crushing musical instruments, paints, books, camera lenses, and more ahead of evidently revealing an iPad Pro, unfortunately, which backfired. Creative professionals saw a profound sense—a metaphor for technology replacing traditional forms of creativity. Many felt the impoliteness of artists and their professions, especially considering the rise of AI-powered art creation.
However, every single person is free to have their own opinion, but Apple’s intention was beyond question—not this, but more to show how the new device in the house was able to encompass a whole series of tools and elements. Not only this, but the firm was forced to apologize publicly, removing the commercial from television publication.
On the other hand, Samsung took all this fuss as a golden opportunity and capitalized on Apple’s controversial “Crush” ad, and Samsung released a counter-ad in which a musician walking through the wreckage left by Apple’s hydraulic press then picked up a partially destroyed guitar and started playing music. The center-worthy point of the ad is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra housed on a tripod nearby.

Samsung Electronics is running a campaign named “Gift Funding,” likely to promote its gadgets as gift ideas for several celebrations.
The Korean Electronics Firm began this campaign today, May 16th. Following the ‘Bespoke Wedding Funding’ for newlyweds introduced back in 2023, the giant has now decided to introduce the upgraded ‘Samsung Gift Funding’ so that anyone can participate at any moment when the celebration is required.
It showcases the requirements of consumers who want to grab practical gifts that are necessary for meaningful anniversaries; for instance, weddings and moving, as well as birthdays, graduations, and school entrance exams. If you choose the product you want on Samsung.com and share the gift funding participation link along with a message card with those around you, your friends will be able to participate in funding up to the amount intended and express your congratulations.
The Korean giant is bringing out several collaborations along with the famous webtoon ‘Cheese in the Trap’ as well as the well-known characters ‘Today’s Meme, Bbangppangi, and Jamangloopy’ to present special message cards.
Samsung.com is introducing a new “split payment system” for their “Gift Funding” campaign, which will permit you to divide the overall price between multiple people, making it easier to meet the expense of a bigger gift together. This also lets you use different credit cards to pay for your section of the gift.
A Samsung Electronics official stated, “Through gift funding, we can express congratulations and gratitude in a more meaningful and special way.” “I hope you pass it on.”
