Samsung's Galaxy S9 sales hit record-lows in South Korea, iPhone X too

-
A new report claims the latest flagships from Samsung and Apple are seeing record-low sales in South Korea. It has previously been reported a number of times that Apple has been forced to cut iPhone X orders due to lower-than-expected demand, and this appears to have spread to South Korea. Unfortunately for Samsung, however, its brand also appears to be tackling weak demand.

According to the data obtained by ET News, Apple managed to shift just 475,000 units of the iPhone X via the major South Korean carriers over the course of its first four months, with a peak of 163,000 devices in December ...

Samsung Display, a display panel manufacturing arm of Samsung Electronics, is the leader in the smartphone display business. It also makes displays panels for PC monitors, smartwatches, laptops, and TVs. The company seems to be facing a problem as it will likely post an operating loss for the first quarter of this year.Samsung Display is projected to report an operating loss of KRW 464.2 billion ($378 million) and KRW 6.3 trillion ($5 billion) in revenue for the first quarter of 2020. Analysts say that the reason for the company's operating loss is a sharp fall in demand for smartphones and TVs after the COVID-19 outbreak. Increased fixed costs due to the company's factories being closed and the permanent closure of its LCD panel manufacturing lines have hurt the company's performance.Recently, the company announced that it would suspend the production of all LCD panels by the end of 2020 and upgrade its factories to start manufacturing QLED panels. Around 89 percent of th…

War of the AIs: Who is leading the assistant race?

Smart assistants were all over CES 2019. As Google, Amazon, and their various partners unveiled new services and technologies, it seemed one AI assistant or another had a role to play in a large proportion of the stuff we saw at the Las Vegas show. It was Google Assistant vs Amazon Alexa and no holds were barred.This makes sense. The still nascent smart speaker market is growing rapidly, having ballooned to nine million devices sold in Q1 2018 versus just 2.3 million in the same period the year before. The stakes are high too: Google has positioned itself as an "AI-first company." That Amazon's Alexa still has a higher install base could be seen as a little embarrassing.The grudge match between the two assistants was in many ways one of the big talking points of the eventThe good news for Google is its ploy seems to be working.In Q1 2018, Google sold over a third of all assistant devices. The same thing happened in Q2 when Google managed to sell 5.43 million smart speake…
