New Delhi, NFAPost: Samsungs business has grown at over 20% (by value) in India in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year, and the company has set a target of $1 billion in revenue from its Galaxy ‘M’ series this year, a top executive said.
Samsung has sold more than 42 million ‘M’ series smartphones in India since its launch in 2019.
According to Aditya Babbar, Senior Director and Head, Mobile Marketing, Samsung India, the growth in the first half happened on account of three very important factors.
“First was the extremely successful launch of ‘S’ series. Two, extremely successful A series and third, the M series — Galaxy M33 and M53 — have performed well,” he told IANS.
“The other big thing is we have set ourselves a target of $1 billion in revenue from M series this year (CY2022). Overall, the M series will be a very powerful series,” Babbar noted.
The company has announced the launch of Galaxy M13 5G and Galaxy M13 — latest additions to the popular Galaxy M series.
“We are even more confident with Galaxy M13 coming into the market. In the price point of Rs 10,000 to Rs 40,000 where the Galaxy M series is present, our value market share has gone up to 26.9 per cent this year (January-May) from 21.4% last year,” Babbar informed.
Galaxy M13 5G is powered by Dimensity 700 processor that can clock up to 2.2GHz. The series comes with up to 12GB RAM with RAM Plus.
The unique RAM Plus solution allows the user to expand RAM size as per requirement. Galaxy M13 series also come with expandable storage up to 1TB.
The device comes with a 6000mAh battery and both the models come with 15W adaptive fast charger in the box.
Galaxy M13 5G sports 6.5-inch LCD display with 90Hz refresh rate while Galaxy M13 comes with 6.6-inch full HD+ LCD display for immersive viewing experience.
Galaxy M13 series offers 50MP primary camera and 5MP ultra-wide lens and depth lens that help in capturing high-quality photos and portraits. The series comes in three colours — Midnight Blue, Aqua Green and Stardust Brown.
Samsung develops world’s fastest graphics DRAM chip
Samsung has developed a new graphics dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chip with a faster speed and improved power efficiency.
The 24-gigabit Graphics Double Data Rate 6 (GDDR6) adopts third-generation, 10-nanometer technology and boasts a data processing speed that is over 30 per cent faster than existing products, the company said in a statement.
The new DRAM chip can process graphic images at a rate of up to 1.1 terabytes per second, which Samsung claims is the fastest in the world and equivalent to processing 275 full HD movies in a second.
Graphics DRAMs are widely used in high-powered 3D games, personal computers, notebooks or devices that play videos with a high resolution.
In the future, it is also expected to be used in high-performance computing, electric cars and autonomous vehicles, reports Yonhap news agency.
JEDEC industry standards
As the new chip meets the JEDEC industry standards, artificial intelligence and graphics companies will likely adopt it easily, Samsung added.
The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association is a semiconductor organisation in charge of standardisation of chips.
Using the so-called dynamic voltage scaling technology, the GDDR6 DRAM also improves power efficiency more than 20 percent, Samsung said.
“Samsung will mass produce the new graphics chip at an opportune time to meet growing customer needs and will thus seek to take the lead in the next-generation graphics DRAM market,” the company said.
Samsung, the world’s top memory chip maker, saw its DRAM sales fall in the first three months of the year for a second quarter on weaker prices and other negatives, but the company retained its top spot in the global market.
