in consumer electronics, especially smartphones. Founded in 1938 in South Korea,
Samsung has grown into a market leader, offering cutting-edge devices with advanced
displays, powerful processors, and AI-driven cameras. It has pioneered foldable
smartphones, 5G connectivity, and eco-friendly initiatives. With a strong ecosystem of
products, including smartwatches, tablets, and home appliances, Samsung continues to

Innovation
Samsung offers a diverse range of smartphones across different segments, including
the Galaxy S series (flagship models with high-end features), Galaxy Z series (innovative
foldable phones like the Z Fold and Z Flip), Galaxy A series (mid-range devices with
premium features), and Galaxy M series (budget-friendly smartphones with large
batteries). Samsung has introduced several groundbreaking innovations, such as
Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays, 100x Space Zoom, foldable screen technology, and S
Pen support for Galaxy S Ultra models. The brand also leads in 5G connectivity, AI-
powered cameras, and advanced security with Samsung Knox, making it a pioneer in
smartphone innovation.

Manufacturing
Samsung sources components for its smartphones from a mix of in-house production and
third-party suppliers. The company manufactures its own Exynos processors but also
uses Qualcomm Snapdragon chips for certain markets. Displays are primarily made by
Samsung Display, a global leader in AMOLED technology. For memory and storage,
Samsung relies on its subsidiary Samsung Semiconductor, while batteries come from
Samsung SDI and other suppliers like LG Chem. Sony supplies camera sensors for some
models, although Samsung also uses its ISOCELL sensors. Other key suppliers include
Corning (Gorilla Glass protection), Cirrus Logic and AKM (audio chips), and Murata and
TDK (capacitors and wireless components). This mix of internal and external sourcing
ensures high-quality and cost-efficient smartphone production.

Financial
Samsung's smartphone business remains a major contributor to its financial
success. In 2023, Samsung Electronics reported a total revenue of approximately
$195 billion, with its mobile division playing a crucial role. In Q1 2024, Samsung
surpassed Apple as the top smartphone seller, capturing a 20.8% market share
due to strong sales of the Galaxy S24 series, which sold 23.4 million units in just
seven months, marking a 12% increase over the S23 series. However, despite
heavy investment, demand for foldable phones remained lower than expected,
leading Samsung to shift focus toward AI and other innovations. With a strong
presence in flagship, mid-range, and budget segments, Samsung continues to
dominate the global smartphone market financially.

production. The company incorporates recycled materials in its Galaxy S series, including
repurposed plastics, aluminum, and glass. Samsung has also reduced plastic packaging
and uses soy-based ink for printing. Through programs like Galaxy for the Planet, it aims to
achieve zero waste to landfill by 2025 and reduce carbon emissions across its supply
chain. Additionally, Samsung promotes e-waste recycling with trade-in and refurbishment
programs, encouraging users to return old devices. With energy-efficient manufacturing
and a focus on longevity through extended software updates, Samsung is working towards
a more sustainable smartphone ecosystem.
