A new Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition named Galaxy S24 FE is in the works, and now the giant appears to be developing an ‘Exynos 2400+’ to power the forthcoming Galaxy S24 FE devices.

Samsung introduced the Exynos 2400 a couple of months ago and powered several Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ versions. Distinct from previous Exynos models, the Exynos 2400 performs well against competitors such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 A17 Pro. Similar to Qualcomm’s strategy, Samsung could release a mid-year upgrade, the Exynos 2400+, for the forthcoming Galaxy S24 FE. 

According to a post on X by @kro_roe, Samsung’s new Exynos 2400+ is a new AP that will power the Galaxy S24 FE, offering improvements in power efficiency and yield by about 5% to 10%.

The Exynos 2400+ is a new AP slated for use in the S24 FE, featuring improvements in power efficiency and yield by around 5% to 10%. It will be marketed under the name Exynos 2400+ for promotional purposes.

Samsung may launch a campaign to assist consumers in distinguishing between the regular Exynos 2400 and the upcoming Exynos 2400+. We expect the brand-new Exynos 2400+ to prioritize enhanced power efficiency and potentially provide additional benefits. However, the tipster also revealed that the Exynos 2400+ yield will improve. The higher yield points towards the Korean foundry, which can produce more chipsets from a single wafer, decreasing the total number of manufactured wafers and lowering the overall cost. 

However, the Exynos 2400 processor powering the Galaxy S24 series performed well. If the reports come true and the GalaxyS24 FE also uses the cooling solution, the rumored Eynos 2400+ might perform just as well in terms of power efficiency and likely other areas.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) require secure smartphones but usually lack the time and resources for complex security solutions. Luckily, Samsung makes smartphone device security and configuration easier in three ways. 

Samsung makes it easier to buy cloud-based management for smartphones and tablets by licensing Knox Manage directly through our online store. Apart from this, a pre-packaged QuickStart service helps IT teams with their primary configuration and deployment. 

The term Knox Manager itself represents an exemplary device management tool for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and also wearables. Knox uses a multi-layered approach, which is as follows: it’s built-in checks to ensure the device itself has not been tampered with; multi-layered encryption to keep data secure from unauthorized access; ongoing monitoring and protection from security threats throughout the device’s lifespan; and many more. 

Samsung Knox Manage: 

Knox Manage is available from the Samsung for Business store, giving SMBs an easy way to add cloud-based management to smart devices such as Android, iOS, Windows, WearOS, and ChromeOS. 

Kevin Eaton, Director of SMB and B2B Direct Channels, stated, “Direct licensing makes it easier for new customers who want to buy devices and management services directly from Samsung. But the Samsung for Business store is also a great option for existing Samsung customers who want to get started with Knox Manage cloud-based device management or just add a few Knox Manage licenses to an existing deployment.”. 

Samsung Knox Manage QuickStart Services, for small businesses with limited IT resources, are available through their online store. This service has two levels: standard QuickStart, which helps configure Knox Manage with basic features such as policy and group controls and remote device management; and advanced QuickStart, which includes all features of Standard plus additional functionalities. 

Knox Manage is beneficial for SMBs in many ways, such as helping simplify device enrollment and configuration, reducing setup time, and reducing human error. It manages device settings such as passwords, updates, encryption, app restrictions, and app stores; it tracks device location; it identifies devices needing updates; and it provides reports to help businesses stay informed about their mobile device fleet. 

Knox Manage is optimized for Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S24, but it’s a cross-platform MDM tool. Knox Manage delivers unified management, for instance, with a single tool and single interface. 

It’s just one of the tools based on Knox, Samsung’s unique approach to keeping data secure from the inside out. This includes on-device, OS-independent integrity. 

Samsung Electronics and Synopsys confirmed that the Korean giant has launched its first smartphone system-on-chip based on Samsung Foundry’s 3nm gate-all-around process technology.

Samsung is making a big leap in chipset technology by producing its first mobile processor using Samsung Foundry’s latest 3nm gate-all-around (GAA) manufacturing process. This chip is expected to be high-performance, thanks to design tools from Synopsys. 

The latest flagship mobile processor uses exceptional CPU and GPU designs coupled with the various IP blocks from Synopsys. Special design software helped them boost performance, decrease power consumption, and optimize the overall size of the chip. SoC producers used Synopsys.ai EDA software, including Synopsys DSO.ai to fine-tune design and maximize yields, as well as the Synopsys Fusion Compiler RTL-to-GDSII solution. 

The Korean giant has grabbed two essential milestones by developing a flagship mobile processor using advanced design tools, and this process is built on their brand new 3nm GAAFET manufacturing process. 

Samsung is yet to disclose what particular process node is being used for the SoC; the official Samsung/Synopsys announcement only notes that it’s just for the GAA process node. Along with the first-generation 3nm-class SF3F, Samsung Fundary has significantly more sophisticated SF3 manufacturing technology that offers multiple upgrades over SF3F. 

The Korean giant credits design tools from Synopsys for a countable performance boost in their next-gen mobile processor. These tools helped increase the chip’s peak speed by 300 MHz while decreasing power consumption by 10%. This was achieved by various techniques, which include optimizing chip design layout, managing clock signals, and streamlining wiring to minimize interference. 

Kijoon Hong, the vice president of SLSI at Samsung Electronics, stated, “This is a remarkable milestone to successfully achieve the highest performance, power, and area on the most advanced mobile CPU cores and SoC designs in collaboration with Synopsys. Not only have we demonstrated that AI-driven solutions can help us achieve PPA targets for even the most advanced GAA process technologies, but through our partnership, we have established an ultra-high-productivity design system that is consistently delivering impressive results.”
