Samsung is reportedly exploring the option of partnering with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to mass-produce its Exynos processor.

The move marks a potential shift in strategy for Samsung as it seeks to enhance the performance and efficiency of its in-house Exynos chips, which have consistently trailed behind industry leaders like Apple and Qualcomm in recent years.

Vivo X200 Ultra to replace its predecessor's 1-inch main camera sensor with a smaller lens. Vivo X200 Ultra will likely feature a 50MP lens, though the sensor size will be closer to 1/1.3″

Users can check for the update by navigating to Settings > System and Updates > Software Update or by selecting the Apply for trial option under the software update settings for an immediate version upgrade.

This week, Samsung launched a new ad campaign called "Simon Says," which takes aim at Apple by mocking what Samsung perceives as a lack of innovation in recent iPhone releases.

Xiaomi has a packed schedule for the rest of 2023 and early next year. Following K80 series launch, December will see the release of another Redmi phone, the Turbo 4.
