Seagate has created a hard drive with NVMe support and U.2 interface. While the device has not been announced, but there is a photo on the Web.

The Exos Enterprise model is designed for data centers and other similar workloads. The volume of the drive specifically captured in the photo is unknown.

Given that we are still talking about HDDs, the transition to U.2 NVMe is probably not due to necessity, but only to the transition of equipment to this interface, since a regular 12 Gb / s SAS for a hard drive should be enough. The TechPowerUp resource suggests that in the near future, the industry in this segment will abandon SAS and SATA in favor of U.2. At one time, a similar situation was with optical drives, which switched to SATA simply along with the entire industry, although the speed of this interface was too excessive for these devices.

According to TrendForce analysts, in the third quarter of this year, the smartphone market sank by 11%, to 289 million units.

The market leaders were Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo, but the current quarter will temporarily change the balance of power. According to analysts, Apple will increase its share from 17.6% to 24.6%, overtaking Samsung, which will occupy 20.2% against the current 22.2%. This is not the first time that Apple has become a market leader in the fourth quarter, which is explained by the release of a new generation of iPhone.

At the same time, it can be seen that the source predicts a decrease in market share for all leaders, except for Apple. It is worth noting that in this case, the source considers the sales of Oppo as sales including Realme, which is not typical. It also counts OnePlus sales, but that’s normal after a merger.

Qualcomm has chosen Samsung as an official partner of the Snapdragon Pro series of smartphones.

Among other things, this means that gamers who compete in the Snapdragon Pro Series Mobile Challenge and Mobile Masters will only use Snapdragon SoC-based Samsung Galaxy devices from the Snapdragon Pro Series Mobile Challenge Finals at DreamHack Valencia. That is, we are talking about one of the largest leagues in mobile eSports.

We are committed to bringing high-performance Snapdragon processor-based Samsung Galaxy devices to billions of gamers around the world to keep the spirit of camaraderie and competition going.

Which Samsung smartphones will be used by gamers is still unclear, but in recent years, the company’s devices have gained not the best fame among gamers, which is due to gaming services and related features.
