And as you know, TSMC is the company's main supplier for the Kirin chips. And if this comes through somehow, it would...

After yesterday's Galaxy Fold 2 juicy news, it's time for another portion of revealing a bit more about the design of the handset. According to a fairly reputable source, Samsung's upcoming successor of the Fold will incorporate one of Galaxy Note's iconic features - the S Pen.

Moreover, according to the leak, the S...
