The news came from Samsung's Analyst Day event in Korea, and the company also confirmed that it is working on a custom ARM-compatible processor. Manufacturers like Qualcomm and Apple already do this, creating custom architectures from the ground up but keeping their processors compatible with the ARM instruction set, and now Samsung is looking to do the same. The processor will support 64-bit, but it looks like Samsung will continue to use Qualcomm's 64-bit chips for LTE-enabled devices, which means you'll still see two different variants of the company's flagships.
Flexible and folding displays, ultra-high-resolution displays, 64-bit custom processors: looks like the next couple of years are going to be pretty exciting for Samsung.
