June 17, 2025
2022 is the year of the water tiger, and it turns out thatSamsungis taking inspiration from the animal for a plan to fight Apple in the North American market.
The Korea Heraldreports that 40 Samsung executives met in Las Vegas ahead of CES 2022 to discuss this year’s smartphone strategy. It’s claimed that the plan has the acronym of ‘Tiger.’
According to the outlet, the individual letters mean “True number one in all categories,” “Improve flagship market share,” narrowing the “Gap between Apple,” “Expanding” the presence of so-called C-brand products like wireless earphones, and aiming for a “Record year.”
Do you think Samsung will narrow the gap to Apple in 2022?
“Our MX [mobile experience – ed] vision is to shift from a smartphone vendor to an intelligent device company. We will not be a tech brand, but a brand beloved by young generations, providing innovative experience,” Samsung mobile chief TM Roh was quoted as saying at the meeting.
Samsung will also need to adequately address supply issues related to the global chip shortage if it hopes to achieve record sales and take on Apple. After all, theGalaxy S21 FEwas delayed for months due to the shortage while some of the firm’s Galaxy A series mid-range phones werereportedly in extremely short supplylast year. But a report from early December suggests that the company is indeedtaking several measuresin this regard.
