According to IT Home, Samsung Electronics plans to equip the upcoming Galaxy A series' low-end smartphones with batteries that include an embedded security identification chip using physical unclonable function technology. The chip is supplied by Analog Devices (ADI) and ICTK, manufactured on Samsung Foundry's 28nm process, with Samsung SDI handling battery-pack integration and enabling the after-sales network to identify battery characteristics; the change may cause third-party replacement batteries to differ from original ones.
