Huawei closer to Samsung and Apple

The latest IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker indicates that there maybe problems ahead for Apple and Samsung. 

Don't jump to TSMC

Samsung has put 10nm FinFET in its roadmap to stop its customers migrating to TSMC.

5.7 milimetre thin and great specs 

We had a chance to play with the sleek Sony Xperia Z4, and this was an impressively thin 6.1mm tablet. Now the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 takes the slimmest tablet prize with its 5.6 mm waist. 

To launch in August with Note 5

It looks like a bigger version of the Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 is going to launch in a few weeks. 

Delayed by Apple

Samsung and TSMC have started production of the chip which is supposed to be under the bonnet of the iPhone 6s.

Looks like Apple sales are not that good

Chipmaker TSMC's second quarter profit growth slowed to 33 percent year-on-year as sales fell for the second consecutive period on weaker smartphone demand in China and other emerging markets.

Snapdragon 615 inside

Samsung still has power to surprise us, and the Korean giant has just announced the Galaxy A8, a phone that is only 5.9 millimetres thin. This is rather big difference to iPhone 6 that looks fat with its 6.9 millimetre girth. 

$6.44 billion in sales

Dutch outfit ASML Holding, the world's second largest maker of semiconductor production equipment has managed to flog more than $6.44 billion worth of gear.

Because 4K is so well established

Even before anyone has released any significant 4K content, Samsung Display is planning to develop world's first 11K super-resolution display. 

With new Samsung MHX controller

According to the announcement, Samsung has been recently experiencing a surge in demand for higher capacity SSDs which pushed the company to announce 2TB version of its popular 850 Pro and 850 EVO SSDs.
