Updated September 16, 2026

Samsung Electronics is the world's largest technology company by revenue, dominating global markets in smartphones, memory chips, displays, and consumer electronics. Samsung is also the second-largest semiconductor manufacturer and a critical supplier of HBM memory for AI accelerators.

Galaxy AI, Samsung's on-device AI suite, reaches 400 million+ devices worldwide (targeting 800 million by end of 2026). The Galaxy S26 (2026) introduced agentic AI capabilities, EdgeFusion offline image generation, and Privacy Display. Samsung uses a multi-model strategy: proprietary Gauss models (including Gauss 2.3 Think for reasoning) for on-device tasks, Google Gemini for cloud features, and Perplexity for search. 80% of users have tried Galaxy AI features.

Samsung announced 110+ trillion KRW (~$73.4 billion) in 2026 semiconductor investment — the largest single-year semiconductor investment by any company in history. The company is developing the Mach-1 AI inference chip (targeting edge computing at 1/10th NVIDIA cost) and partnered with NVIDIA on a 50,000-GPU AI factory for semiconductor manufacturing.
