Samsung has now revealed some heady details about its plans for the future at the second analyst event held in South Korea. According to reports, the company has confirmed that they are working to bring out their own application processor. In the past, most major smartphone manufacturers like NVIDIA have licensed processors from ARM and put it on their own chips. Other companies, however, do not stick to this formula. Qualcomm, for example, designs its own processors which go into Snapdragon chipsets. Apple, starting with the iPhone 5, had also begun designing their own processors. The latest announcement from the South Korean manufacturer means that Samsung, like the others, will also be rolling out its own line of processors. So, soon you can expect the Exynos to be a non-ARM CPU.
Samsung is now looking to get 4K panels to smartphones by 2015
The more eye-grabbing announcements (literally) come with reagrds to the display. Samsung may roll out devices with AMOLED panels sporting a pixel per inch rating of an eye-pooping density 560. Samsung has also said that users will get their hands on 4K displays by 2015, although the need for such a display on a smartphone is debatable. In terms of flexible displays, the company has claimed that its holds one out of every three patents for the technology. This basically means that Samsung will be the forerunner in fields like wearable computing or smartphones that can bend or flex. The company has already introduced the first handset in this category, the Galaxy Round, although the model already has some competition from the likes of LG's G Flex.Android Beat reports that Samsung claimed that no other company was innovating as fast as it was in areas like display, memory and chip fabrication technology. One must remember, though, that the analyst meet was held in order to assuage any investor regarding saturation in the high-end smartphone market. Samsung's reponse seems to be throwing more engineering and hardware, whether you want it or not, at any such threat.
