The Samsung calendar includes a notation for the lunar date, alongside the usual solar calendar date. Beginning on May 23, the lunar month is indicated as 'le4', for leap month. Leap months are designated with the same number as the preceding months. So this is 'le4', according to Samsung. Why did some Samsung smartphones crash in China on May 23? Mine didn't. From the article, it sounds like the leap month is added between 4 and 5. It's not clear how they decide where to put it during the year that it's needed. All I know is that the Chinese New Year (1/1 on the Chinese calendar) falls on the 2nd new moon after the winter solstice). The next leap month will occur on March 22, 2023 as' le2', or 'run er yue'.
