Founded in 1938, Samsung is the largest chaebol in South Korea. The myriad of companies under its brand are some of the biggest in their respective industries, but Samsung Electronics is the most notable. It makes some of the most popular phones in use today, and its flagship portfolio includes the Galaxy S-series and foldable Z-series devices. It also makes televisions, tablets, computers, headphones, and many of the displays, chips, and batteries found in devices from Apple, Sony, and others.
PhoneArena published a list of 39 countries that may get Samsung’s rumored, thinner Galaxy S25, but the US isn’t on it.
We’ll have to wait and see if Samsung mentions the phone at Wednesday’s Galaxy Unpacked event.
Samsung’s estimated Q4 earnings are way down on both Q3 and analyst estimates. Part of the problem? It can’t develop new AI memory chips for Nvidia fast enough, but Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has faith:
“They have to engineer a new design ... But they can do it. They are working very fast. They’re very committed to do it.”
The company’s been working on them since 2017, and they’re now beginning to impress — as you’ll see, I witnessed a miniature Las Vegas Sphere bulge from the panel, as well as a tiny virtual shark attack. But I’ll admit the company’s own video is even more impressive.
My video, however, also contains other awesome flexes!
The company already revealed that Ballie will arrive this year, but Samsung’s Alana Gomez Solis gave us a more specific timeline during its CES keynote.
Is Samsung’s round robot finally ready to roll out of CES demos and into actual homes?
Samsung Display is behind some of our favorite gadgets, monitors, and TVs sold by many companies, not just Samsung Electronics. So it’s always fun to see what they’re working on as a preview of what’s to come.
The company created a sensation by making TVs that look more like art and less like tech. With The Frame Pro, Samsung is trying to deliver the best of both worlds.
Smartprix believes a budget version of Samsung’s folding flip phone could arrive later this year, after showing up in an industry database in recent days. Display analyst Ross Young corroborated the report, adding that he expects the phone to use the same screen as the current Z Flip 6.
Despite loud proclamations, AI on smartphones is still mostly a sideshow.
In addition to the absurd 21.5- and 32-inch screens already available on its fridges, it’s now offering a smaller 9-inch option while slapping 7-inch displays on its washer, dryer, and wall oven. Smaller 4.3-inch displays will be available in some markets.
The screens provide local and central control of Samsung’s connected appliances as well as entertainment. And they’ll undoubtedly be great places to display ads. Hooray!
Both @evleaks and @sondesix are saying that’s the date for Samsung’s next Unpacked event, with the former sharing a leaked Italian marketing image as confirmation. In addition to the company’s much leaked Galaxy S25 series of phones we’re expecting to hear more about Samsung’s “Project Moohan“ XR headset we recently previewed.
