Samsung Aims to Double AI Devices to 800 Million
Samsung, a big electronics company, wants to put special AI features in 800 million phones and tablets by next year.
These features, called Galaxy AI, are mostly powered by Google's Gemini AI.
Samsung's boss, TM Roh, said they want to add AI to all their products quickly.
This will help them compete with Apple and other companies.
Samsung also faces challenges like a shortage of memory chips, which might make their products more expensive.
They are also working on making foldable phones more popular, even though they are growing slower than expected.
Samsung is the leader in foldable phones, but they have to compete with companies like Huawei and Apple, which is coming out with its first foldable phone this year.
Samsung plans to double AI-enabled mobile devices to 800 million by 2026, up from 400 million currently.
Galaxy AI features, powered by Google's Gemini, will be integrated across all products and services.
Samsung aims to reclaim the smartphone market lead from Apple and compete with Chinese rivals.
A global memory chip shortage is affecting Samsung's smartphone business, potentially leading to price increases.
The foldable phone market, pioneered by Samsung, is growing slower than expected but is projected to go mainstream in the next few years.
