Galaxy AI has many features that make flagship Samsung phones like new. Debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung’s Galaxy AI has been released for the most popular premium phones, foldables, and tablets.

In May 2024, Samsung upgraded all the 2023 flagship phones, tablets, and foldables with Galaxy AI features. Earlier in June 2024, the company further expanded the AI features with One UI 6.1 update to flagships released in 2022.

Galaxy AI brings both on-device and cloud-based artificial intelligence features. Older Pixel smartphone users are feeling robbed as they are not getting the AI advancements that Google announced with the Pixel 8 Pro.

Samsung’s Galaxy AI brings many cool features such as Live Translate, Interpreter, Generative Edit, Note Assist, Browsing Assist, Video Editor, Generative Wallpaper, and Circle to Search by Google.

Google may opt for 3nm TSMC for the development of Pixel 10’s Tensor G5. Starting the first Tensor, Samsung has been manufacturing Google’s custom processors. However, the Foundry partnership would mark a halt (or an end) with the launch of Pixel 9’s Tensor G4.

According to CTEE, Google Pixel 9’s 3nm Tensor G5 has already been ordered to TSMC. However, the upcoming Tensor G4 is being fabricated on Samsung Foundry’s 4nm process. As the chip is ordered, Google may have finalized the design of the Tensor G5.

Samsung Foundry is facing yield issues with its 3nm process technology. It was reported that the 3nm yield is just 20%, which is not adequate for greenlit mass production. It is also harming Samsung’s Exynos plans, with Galaxy S25 reportedly using MediaTek’s SoC.

Thanks to the 3nm process, Google’s future flagships will offer massive performance and power efficiency improvements. Meanwhile, time will tell whether the Pixel maker has chosen TSMC’s N3E (second-generation 3nm) or N3P (third-generation 3nm) process.

Qualcomm has already switched to TSMC due to overheating and performance issues in Snapdragon chips. Not only mobile chipmakers, but big giants like Nvidia, have also ditched Samsung. This would further widen the gap between TSMC and Samsung Foundry.
