South Korea considers establishing TSMC KSMC
During a seminar held by the National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK) on December 18, South Korean industry & academia proposed creating a “KSMC” (Korea Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to address Nation’s semiconductor industry challenges & Samsung's failure to compete With TSMC.
It is estimated that a KRW 20 trillion ($13.9 billion) investment in KSMC could generate KRW 300 trillion ($208.7 billion) in economic benefits by 2045. The initiative would also support many smaller semiconductor companies, which relies solely on Samsung’s advanced nodes under 10nm.
TSMC maintains a balanced ecosystem with the help of foundries like UMC and PSMC. These two focus on manufacturing wafers on older lithography, while TSMC focuses on advanced technology. The same ecosystem could exist in South Korea for KSMC with the help of tax & credits benefits. SK Hynix CEO suggested repurposing some of Samsung’s legacy facilities as part of the plan.

MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Announced
MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity 8400 chipset that comes with the world's first "All Big Core" design and NO efficiency cores. It is manufactured by TSMC on its 4nm process and all the 8 cores are ARM's Cortex-X725 only.
CPU:
• 1x Cortex-A725 @ 3.25GHz
• 3x Cortex-A725 @ 3.0GHz
• 4x Cortex-A725 @ 2.1GHz
GPU: 7-core Immortalis G-720, Clocked at 1.3GHz
Geekbench 6 scores of Poco X7 Pro
Single-core: 1661
Multi-core: 6559
Compared to Dimensity 8300, the CPU comes with 41% higher multi-core performance with 44% reduction in peak power use whereas the GPU comes with 24% higher peak performance & 42% greater power efficiency. This chipset is even more powerful than the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.
It also supports HDR recording throughout the entire zoom range. Inside, it gets the MediaTek NPU 880 supports mainstream LLM/SLM/LMMs across the globe and also integrates MediaTek’s DAE, which was introduced with the flagship Dimensity 9400 SoC.

Unisoc Rebrands Its Chips to Sound Like MediaTek
Chinese fabless semiconductor company UNISOC (formerly Spreadtrum) has rebranded its entire chipset lineup to copy MediaTek. By the way, you will be surprised, but there are not so many "smartphone" chipsets on their official website, rather just ten SoCs and all are manufactured by TSMC on 6nm process.
Out of 10 chipsets, only the old Unisoc SC9863A and Unisoc SC9832E have not changed their names and this is what they got with their new naming.
5G chipsets:
Old name New name
Unisoc T760 Unisoc T8100
Unisoc T765 Unisoc T8200
Unisoc T820 Unisoc T9100
4G chipsets:
Old name New name
Unisoc T606 Unisoc T7200
Unisoc T612 Unisoc T7225
Unisoc T615 Unisoc T7250
Unisoc T616 Unisoc T7255
Unisoc T620 Unisoc T7280

Your first look at the Poco X7 Pro, basically Redmi Turbo 4 in China, and it will come with ring lights.
Nothing introduced disco lights in smartphones 3 years ago and they still made it more useful than whatever iQOO and Xiaomi has done now. With this, Xiaomi and BBK have officially joined the gimmick feature trend of LED lights on the smartphone back.

Xiaomi again updates rules for unlocking bootloader in China
Last year, with the launch of HyperOS, Xiaomi changed policy for unlocking bootloader in mainland China and now the rules have been updated once again to unlock bootloader in 2025.
The number of unlocking permissions is time-limited in China. Until the end of the year, applications approved between November 8, 2023, and December 31, 2024, allow for a total of up to 3 devices during this period. But from 1st January 2025 onwards, users who have applied for unlocking bootloader can unlock upto 1 device only from 1 account during the validity period. This validity is based on actual unlocking time (not the binding time period).
Honestly, at this point they should just terminate the bootloader unlocking program as it will not suck as much as this. Xiaomi trying to look like still allowing bootloader unlocking while deep within they want to close it so badly is crazy

BREAKING: Xiaomi Announced New Rules for Bootloader Unlocking for Global Users
Xiaomi recently updates rules for its bootloader unlocking program in China which will be applicable since 1st Jan 2025 onwards. But the same rules are also applicable for global users.
Thus, global users can unlock ONLY 1 device per account in 1 year as the unlocking period is basically around 1 year. After that, you need to again apply for unlocking permissions from Xiaomi. In theory, the permissions should be given instantly but the reality is often disappointing as there have been instances where some users have been trying to gain permission to unlock bootloader for their phone for even 2 months now and still NO luck
Who knows Xiaomi might again updates its bootloader unlocking program rules in 2025 end wherein they might announce, GAME OVER.

VPN usage spiked in the US as States ban porn
17 states out of 50 states in the US (more than 33%),have now introduced restrictions for online adult content, blocking access to popular pornographic websites such as Pornhub, RedTube, YouPorn etc. The restriction applies to the under 18 age group and it also requires visitors to provide state-approved identification, such as a passport or driving license.
Critics claim that this is a violation of user privacy, with Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn parent company Aylo claiming that it also puts people’s personal data at risk. These company have withdrawn its websites from these states as a result of the laws.
Further restrictions could be introduced under Donald Trump’s administration as controversial Project 2025 plan states :-

Windows 11 BitLocker Encryption has been BYPASSED!
Researchers have shown a method to bypass bitlocker using physical attacks. This attack is done by checking and capturing contents of RAM while the computer boots up. Why? Because bitlocker encryption key is temporarily stored when the PC is booting. A person can just restart while the pc is booting and dump the RAM to extract Full Volume Encryption Keys. (FVEK)
LOL even Bitlocker is not secure anymore!!!

The Fate of the Exynos 2500
Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite Leading Edition (4.57GHz overclocked) everywhere, irrespective of the country, instead of the Exynos 2500 because of the poor yields of the Samsung 2nd Gen 3nm GAA architecture. Fortunately, the Exynos 2500 is still alive and Samsung has even begun its mass production and it will power the Galaxy Flip 7.
Anyways, Galaxy S25+ Europe model with 12GB RAM running Android 15 was spotted on Geekbench 6 which revealed the configuration of the chip
CPU:
1x Cortex-X925 @ 3.30GHz
2x Cortex-A725 @ 2.75GHz
5x Cortex-A725 @ 2.36GHz
2x Cortex-A525 @ 1.80GHz
Thus, a deca-core chip with confirguration of 1+2+5+2.
NOTE: The clock speeds are NOT final because it was running on energy_aware and is a prototype model as well
GPU: Samsung Xclipse 950 @ 1.3GHz
Based on the AMD RDNA 3.5 architecture
16CU (compute units)

The Flagship Smartphone Market of India
Above 500$ smartphones market sector in India remains dominated by Apple with 54% market share and Samsung with 30%. Acc to Canalys, the premium smartphone shipments grew from 4.2M units in 2023 to 6.5M units in 2024.
Among the android brands, Samsung continues to dominates it with 67% shipments in 2024. OnePlus dropped considerably in the market, going from 21% to just 6% in a year, while other BBK brands like Oppo's shipment grew by 8% and Vivo saw a notable growth.
Google Pixel also saw noteworthy growth in India, jumping from a mere 1% in 2023 to 5% in 2024. Xiaomi however is categorized under the "Others" segment, which likely includes brands like Nothing, Honor, ROG etc. Shipments for this segment dropped from 4% in 2023 to just 2% in 2024.
For Xiaomi, its likely because of the image reputation it has developed among the consumers while Nothing and Honor have only recently entered the premium segment.
