What devices can I expect at Galaxy Unpacked?

Samsung is set to unveil the next generation of its flagship smartphones: the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. Anticipate significant updates, especially at the top of the line. Leaked images from sources like GSMArena suggest that the S24 Ultra will feature a flat screen, departing from the curved design of the S23 Ultra. Additionally, rumors hint at a shift to a titanium shell, akin to the iPhone 15 Pro.

As indicated by previous leaks, the internal components of the S24 Ultra are expected to remain largely similar to its predecessor. It will continue to boast a 6.8-inch Quad-HD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, comparable storage options, 12GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery. Notable enhancements include a new and improved 50MP 5x telephoto camera, enhanced vapor chamber cooling for temperature control, and the introduction of Wi-fi 7.

The S24 and S24 Plus are anticipated to maintain an aluminum build. While hardware upgrades are more incremental, the S24 Plus is reported to feature a slightly larger and higher resolution 6.7-inch QHD Plus display, along with increased RAM and a larger battery, as per Android Police.

Amidst all the anticipation, Galaxy AI steals the spotlight. Samsung is set to showcase this new AI experience with considerable fanfare. Galaxy AI is revealed to incorporate a live translation feature for calls, presenting both audio and text translations in real-time as you speak. Leaks also suggest the introduction of an AI photo editor as part of this innovative offering.

Red Sea Cable Cuts Cripple Microsoft Azure, Disrupt 17% of Global Internet Traffic

Multiple undersea fiber optic cables were cut in the Red Sea, disrupting Microsoft Azure services and slowing internet traffic across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe—affecting nearly 17% of global connectivity.

Multiple undersea fiber optic cables in the Red Sea were damaged, causing significant disruptions to Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and affecting internet connectivity across India, Pakistan, UAE, and other regions.

The impact:

  • Microsoft Azure users experiencing increased latency, especially for Asia-Europe traffic routes
  • Nearly 17% of global internet traffic flows through Red Sea cables
  • Key systems affected include SMW4, IMEWE, SEACOM/TGN-EA, AAE-1, and EIG cables
  • Failures occurred near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Microsoft’s response: “Undersea fiber cuts can take time to repair; as such, we will continuously monitor, rebalance, and optimize routing to reduce customer impact in the meantime.”

The broader concern: The Red Sea is one of the world’s most critical internet chokepoints. With ongoing regional conflicts, experts worry critical digital infrastructure could become deliberate targets.

Repair timeline: Subsea cable repairs typically take weeks due to the logistics of mobilizing cable repair ships and securing permits in politically sensitive waters.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced a major breakthrough today with the company’s AI5 chip design, calling it “epic” and predicting the upcoming AI6 could be “the best AI chip by far”.

In a social media post, Musk revealed: “Just had a great design review today with the Tesla AI5 chip design team! This is going to be an epic chip. And AI6 to follow has a shot at being the best AI chip by far.”

What makes this significant:

  • Tesla is consolidating from two chip architectures to one, focusing all silicon talent on a single incredible chip
  • Musk believes AI5 will be “the best inference chip for models with fewer than 250 billion parameters”
  • The chip offers “the lowest silicon cost and highest performance-to-power ratio”
  • AI6 is expected to advance these capabilities even further

The job recruitment angle: Musk is actively recruiting engineers, emphasizing they’d be working on chips that “save lives” where “milliseconds matter”—clearly referencing Tesla’s autonomous driving ambitions.

This comes after Tesla shut down its Dojo supercomputer project last month, with the company deciding to focus resources on a single chip architecture rather than splitting development.
