Is samsung the future?

[tomboy]

Grabe nung 1990s dinededma lang ito. Ngayon ang layo na ng narating.

Hindi na ako magugulat sa china kung makagawa din ng sariling brand.

Samsung started here in the late 1980s and they were actually exporting that time (from their manufacturing plant in Sucat, Paranaque). We still have one of their first TV sets which we moved up to Tagaytay (purchased around 1989) and it's still effin working the last time i checked.

"Is Samsung the future?"

Nope, its from the past!
Their products are for the present, and their concept maybe for the future but they are not alone. Still a lot of technology away from their own!

samsung may be the future considering its fruitful growth but there will always be competition... sony, apple, pana etc...

all major companies has its own concept prototypes... this is nothing new to other brands

For the Electronic Display maybe yes but not for the majority of other electronic gadgets. Recently, Sony has just released their new version of PSP which is the "Vita" using Super AMOLED Display which were made by Samsung. For China, normally their aim is to produce in very large quantity so they can sell more not minding the good quality of the product. The result.... is poor quality!

(2nd LD) Strong smartphone sales fuel Samsung's Q4 net | YONHAP NEWS

SEOUL, Jan. 27 (Yonhap) -- South Korean tech behemoth Samsung Electronics Co. said Friday its fourth-quarter earnings grew 17 percent on-year, fueled by strong sales of smartphones and improved chip business.

Net profit amounted to 4 trillion won (US$3.56 billion) in the October-December period, up 17 percent from the previous year, the company said in a regulatory filing. It marked the largest gain since the 4.46 trillion won tallied in the third quarter of 2010.

Sales expanded 13 percent to an all-time high of 47.3 trillion won in the fourth-quarter and operating profit jumped 75.8 percent on-year to a record 5.3 trillion won. The results are slightly higher than Samsung's earnings guidance released earlier this month.

For all of 2011, the company logged a net income of 13.7 trillion won, down 15 percent from the previous year. Its sales rose 6.7 percent on-year to 165 trillion won and operating profit inched down 6.05 percent to 16.2 trillion won.

Sony, Panasonic Forecast Deeper Losses as Samsung Dominates - Bloomberg

Japan’s biggest makers of phones, televisions and chips say they’ll lose about $17 billion this year, about three-quarters of what Samsung Electronics Co. will spend on research to lengthen the lead over its competitors.

Sony Corp. more than doubled its annual loss forecast for the year ending March 31 as it announced a new chief executive officer, while Panasonic Corp. (6752) and Sharp Corp. predicted the worst losses in their histories. Their combined losses compare with the $22 billion that Samsung, Asia’s largest consumer- electronics company, said it will invest in capital expenditures.

Japanese companies hurt by a stronger yen, flooding that swamped Thailand factories and weaker demand for their TVs may not be able to regain ground lost to Samsung and Apple Inc. That’s prompting Sony and Panasonic to focus on sectors including medical devices, solar panels and rechargeable batteries in an effort to revive earnings.
