News Summary:

Samsung, alongside Apple, is influencing the design of foldable phones towards wider inner displays, aiming to make the format more practical for daily use in areas like reading, watching, working, and gaming, shifting the perception from engineering showcases to user-designed devices. This follows the online leak of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Book6 Edge laptop on April 25, which features Snapdragon X2 Elite power, revealing its detailed specifications, pricing, and design. The device was initially anticipated to debut with the Intel-powered Galaxy Book6 series, showcased at CES earlier this year, which included models with Core Ultra Series 3 processors built on Intel's 18A architecture. Earlier on April 25, Samsung faced escalating tensions over bonus demands and potential disruptions to its semiconductor operations. The company requested essential staff remain on duty due to legal obligations, citing the risk of spoiling core semiconductor wafers, damaging equipment, and disrupting supply if a shutdown occurs. This context emerges as Samsung Electronics' workers' union called for an 18-day strike, commencing May 21 at its Pyeongtaek campus in South Korea, primarily over wage disputes, which analysts suggest could exacerbate the RAM shortage.
