Samsung Details New Storage Chip For Smartphones
Handsets set to become thinner and faster.
Samsung has detailed its new storage chip for smartphones, which aims to make handheld devices thinner and faster. Delivering a considerable amount of storage space and enhanced performance, the Korean firm said its new 64GB chip is 20 percent thinner than previous ones.
It's made possible thanks to the utilization of 10 nanometer technology instead of the 20nm used in previous offerings. In addition to taking up less space inside the smartphone, Samsung stressed that the company has managed to enhance performance by 30 percent, subsequently leading to 10 times faster speeds than external memory cards.
While smartphones are already shifting towards a thinner and faster designs that offer more internal storage, battery life is also a concern because increased performance will demand more power.
The forthcoming chips have entered the production phase with Samsung expected to incorporate them into the Galaxy S4.

100% Agree
Dunno why some people seems so obsessed with "excessively" thin phones,. if hardware is becoming more efficient,. why make it thinner and have the same battery life when they could simply keep the same girth and slap in bigger battery.
Is it just me, or this world is going nuts?
Does it really make sense to have a 64GB vs a 32GB device if the non-replaceable storage starts failing in a year?
100% Agree

Considering that you're no longer allowed to own another human being, and women now have more equality than they've ever had before, I'd say general human respect has risen quite dramatically since the last century. Also, fewer people are being murdered now than in any other period in recorded human history.
Something to think about.
Keep the faith, keep the critical look, try to do something, despite any solution will come at an initial cost that is unaffordable for most of us (only the ones who have nothing to loose...)
I am living in Spain and have to see that 5 years ago, there were years of waste and steal of public money and now we need to trim budgets... having the only solution of cheaper dismissal and higher taxes (both direct and indirect) to solve a financial crisis and avoid banks going bankrupt while the population is being evicted for nonpayment (with suicide cases...)
Cheaper + Faster + more efficient are what I think is better.
Nvidia got really lucky when Apple pissed off samsung...LOL. Everyone else got unlucky. Samsung would have had to take on more soc dev's were in not for the steady 65% share of desktop gpu's Nvidia has. These are huge compared to A6 and will help samsung keep fabs 100% (including Tegra and their own stuff it shouldn't be too hard). Doing what TSMC does takes more work. Everybody has to get their die working with their process. Samsung will basically be supporting 2 companies rather than a dozen or more. NO real change than apple+sammy but it keeps it simple...The kiss principle I guess
They have been. Galaxy S2 had a 1650mah battery. Now S3 has a 2100 mah battery. Galaxy note 2 has the biggest battery out of any smartphone currently out at 3100 mAh. Most likely, the S4 will have something close to 3000 mAh and Note 3 will probably hit 3500 mAh with current trends.
Oh wait, are you talking about Apple?
i don't like smartphones as phones.
they aren't comfortably to hold that way
making them thinner and thinner, sure some moron who put pants on 5 sizes to small and decided they want to carry phone. why make phones for these morons?
