Galaxy Note 5, Project Zen leaked with puzzling details
May 20, 2015
It's not unusual for OEMs to venture outside of their comfort zones in search of the perfect pitch. That is especially true for Samsung, who has, at least for the time being, diverged from its usual path with the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. That said, there are some choices that still boggle the mind and confound imagination. Like these new tidbits that are coming about Samsung's rumored two high end smartphones, particularly the one called Project Zen, the Galaxy Note Edge successor that might not be a successor at all.
First thing's first.
Project Zen is apparently now known as Project Zero 2. If one remembers, the first Project Zero was the codename used by Samsung to indicate its "starting from scratch" in terms of design, which yielded the twin flagships we have this half of the year. This renaming implies that the Note Edge will go through a similar rethinking of the design. Consider our curiosities piqued.
The codename, however, isn't the only thing that Project Zen Zero 2 has in common with the Galaxy S6 edge.
It seems that it actually won't have an S Pen, which is a very odd feature, or misfeature, if Zero 2 is to be the Note Edge 2. But perhaps the model name SM-G928, which is closer to the Galaxy S6 Edge's SM-G925, hints that this might instead be a successor to Samsung's first dual edge screen instead.
As for the Galaxy Note 5, there is no new word about it and the expected specs remain mostly the same, with a 2K or 4K screen and an Exynos 7422 chip. In contrast, Project Zero 2 is rumored to have a 5.4 or 5.5 inch display, run on a Snapdragon 808, have a 16 MP rear camera with OIS, and a 5 MP front camera.
Quite curious is the word that there might be an official accessory called Keyboard Cover, something that is more common with tablets and not smartphones.
Samsung president Shin Jong-kyun already confirmed there will be no mid-year announcement of a high-end smartphone, so expect the two to debut at the same time at IFA 2015 in September.

Samsung Galaxy A8 leaks as 5.5-inch mid-range powerhouse
by Sean Keach
21 May 2015 |
The rumoured Samsung Galaxy A8 appears to have been benchmarked on GXFBench, helping clarify leaked details about the unannounced device.
Previous reports had suggested that the A8 would carry a 5.7-inch screen, but the newly leaked test readout claims we’ll actually see a smaller 5.5-inch Full HD display. The device is listed with the model number ‘A8000’. That’s a telling moniker, because the Galaxy A3 is known as the ‘A3000’, the A5 as the ‘A5000’, and the A7, yep, you guessed it, the ‘A7000’.
Fortunately, the benchmark (spotted by Sammobile) goes on to confirm most of what we’d already heard rumoured about the device.
Chief amongst the leaks was that the Galaxy A8 will use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 615 processor, an octa-core CPU launched back in February. That’s seemingly confirmed by the GFXBench results.
The benchmark results also show 2GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, and Android 5.1.1 OS. The mid-range handset also looks set to flirt with flagship territory thanks to a claimed 16-megapixel rear-facing camera.
We haven’t seen any leaked photos of the device yet, but it’s likely that Samsung will maintain the premium, metal trim design we’ve seen on other A-series handsets. The smartphone is also expected to be just 5.9mm thin, marking it as an exceptionally svelte handset. That’s an especially impressive feat when you consider that Samsung is also rumoured to have stuffed in a sizeable 3,050mAh battery.
What’s more, just yesterday it emerged that the handset could echo its big brothers, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 4, in adopting a dedicated fingerprint scanner.
There’s no official (or unofficial, for that matter) word on a Samsung Galaxy A8 release date just yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

Samsung's 10nm Chips Coming Next Year
Friday, May 22, 2015
Samsung's next-generation process technology, a 10nm FinFET node, is set to reach full production by the end of 2016, the company announced in an event in San Francisco.
Samsung's foundry senior vice president Hong Hao said that the new 10nm process would offer significant power, area, and performance advantages and would target a broad range of markets.
Obviously, Samsung will start applying the new node not later than TSMC, the world’s largest foundry. TSMC has promised to ramp its 16nm FinFET process this fall and start qualifying 10nm chips by the end of the year. It excpects ramp 10nm production by the end of 2016.
The announcement comes just a month after Samsung detailed its 14nm FinFET process, wihci already runs in two fabs in South Korea, one in Austin, Texas, and a Globalfoundries fab in New York state, according to the company.
Samsung's first 14nm FinFET chip was the Exynos mobile applications processor, which already power the Galaxy 6 phones. Samsung is also expected to make Apple's iPhone 7 SoC in its 14nm process, since it is expected to beat TSMC to market by several months.
