Samsung & Habitat for Humanity: A Look Back on Hurricane Harvey

One year ago, Hurricane Harvey struck the Gulf Coast of Texas, leaving thousands of Houston-area residents displaced and unsheltered. Among those impacted was Eugenia Roberson, her sister Gloria Taylor and their neighbors in the Settegast neighborhood, a Northeast Houston community hit especially hard by Harvey’s 60 inches of rain.
As part of the aftermath, their homes were devastated and they were forced to relocate for months on end. Even when the flood waters subsided, Settegast’s narrow streets became nearly impassable as flood-soaked carpet, sheetrock, insulation, furniture and other belongings lined the curbs, further delaying relief and threatening public health and safety.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Samsung announced a collective pledge of $1 million for disaster relief. Portions of Samsung’s donation funded charging stations to those without power, laptops to those filing property damage reports, and mobile devices to local elementary schools without resources. In conjunction with Houston Habitat for Humanity, Samsung pledged to donate 40 in-kind home appliance bundles, each including a brand-new microwave, stove, refrigerator and laundry machine.
The appliances were used to furnish the homes in Settegast repaired by Houston Habitat as part of the extensive reconstruction processes. Many of these families – Mrs. Roberson’s and Mrs. Taylor’s included – did not have the funds to replace the home appliances that Harvey had damaged beyond repair.

“Samsung’s culture of giving is meant to support these communities by providing the tools and resources to thrive for years to come,” said Ann Woo, Senior Director of Corporate Citizenship for Samsung Electronics America. “We would do this for our own families and friends, so we did the same for these people who had waited months to return home.”
“It is hard to believe a year has passed since Hurricane Harvey decimated our community, and that the families of the homes that Houston Habitat restored are now able to reflect on what they have overcome,” said Angela Cox, Development Director at Houston Habitat for Humanity. “We are so grateful to Samsung, not only for empowering us to provide repairs and to replace damaged appliances, but also for exceeding homeowners’ expectations with appliances that are even better than their original sets.”

Today, Mrs. Roberson and Mrs. Taylor are back in their homes. Mrs. Taylor is preparing to host her family’s annual Labor Day celebration. “If not for Habitat, I never could have gotten back in my house,” she said. While she couldn’t replace what was lost herself, she said Samsung gave her more. “God will always give you bread, but sometimes he gives you a little peanut butter and jelly, too. That’s what Samsung’s gift is to me.”

The Royole Bendable Smartphone Prototype Will Be Shown at IFA 2018

A bendable smartphone prototype may soon be the future of phone technology and California-based Royole is aiming to lead the charge with its wraparound device. Announced ahead of IFA 2018, Royole is hoping its new phone design will wow audiences at the tech conference, as it serves as an innovative push forward in smartphone design and technology. Royole isn't the only company exploring this technology, as both Samsung and Huawei are reportedly also working on "foldable" phones.

The bendable smartphone prototype offered by Royole does not have an official name yet, but some early specs of the phone indicate impressive features. The phone will most likely utilize Royole's existing touchscreens, which offer a sharp 200-to-300 pixel per inch density. Users will be able to operate the phone in a standard static fashion or wrap it around their wrists and use it in the same way as a smartwatch.

Samsung Announces Exynos Modem 5100, Industry’s First 5G Modem Fully Compliant with 3GPP Standards

Exynos Modem 5100 to accelerate 5G commercialization with successful over-the-air 5G-NR data call
The new single-chip modem supports multi-mode communication, ensuring high efficiency in data transmission

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today announced that it has developed ExynosModem 5100, the industry’s first 5G modem that is fully compatible with 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 15 (Rel.15), the most up-to-date standard specification for 5G New Radio (5G-NR). Built on power-efficient 10-nanometer (nm) process technology, the new modem also supports legacy radio access technologies designed into a single chip.
“Samsung’s leadership in communication technologies and market-proven knowledge allowed us to develop the industry’s first 5G modem, the ExynosModem 5100, which fully complies with the latest 3GPP standards,” said Dr. InyupKang, president and head of System LSI Business at Samsung Electronics. “As the industry prepares the shift toward 5G, Samsung will continue to drive the growth of innovative ideas and new services in mobile applications and other emerging industries.”
Samsung successfully conducted an over-the-air (OTA) 5G-NR data call test under a wireless environment utilizing a 5G base station and 5G end-user equipment prototype embedded with ExynosModem 5100. As the test simulated real-world cellular network conditions, this will ensure faster development and commercialization of 5G mobile devices that adopt this new modem. Samsung is also working closely with a number of global mobile carriers and partners to quickly bring 5G mobile communications to the market.



The ExynosModem 5100 supports both sub-6GHz and mmWavespectrums specified in 3GPP’s 5G standard as well as legacy networks, including 2G GSM/CDMA, 3G WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, HSPA, and 4G LTE, with a single chip solution. As 5G is expected to be first deployed over existing network infrastructures, commercial implementation will benefit from the single-chip design that maximizes data transmission efficiency and reliability between other communication networks.
The modem delivers a maximum downlink speed of up to 2-gigabits per second (Gbps) in 5G’s sub-6-gigahertz (GHz) settings and 6Gbps in mmWavesettings, which are about 1.7 and five times the data transfer speeds of its predecessor respectively. Fast and stable data communication can also be secured in 4G networks with the downlink speed of 1.6Gbps.
5G’s capability to transmit large-capacity data and real-time low-latency communication is expected to bring new user experiences not only in mobile but also in areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), ultra-high resolution videos, holograms, real-time artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous driving.
ExynosModem 5100 is also offered with radio frequency IC (RFIC), Envelope Tracking (ET) and power management IC (PMIC) solutions, and will be available to customers by the end of 2018.
