Going strong on 5G portfolio
Samsung has a 5G network in the US as well as in South Korea in both millimetre wave and sub-six-GHz spectrum.

The company launched the world’s first 5G smartphone, the Galaxy S10 5G, in early April and has promoted its 5G solutions that can be used in a host of new businesses, including self-driving vehicles, smart factories and Internet of Things.

This news comes at a time when Samsung is already in the headlines for firing 150-odd employees at its telecom networks division and will conclude the entire manpower rationalisation exercise by October. The job cuts have been agreed upon by Samsung’s headquarters in Seoul which now wants to emphasise more on generating profit growth instead of revenue from India.

Now, it’s only a matter of time to observe how the tech giant plans its business model going forward to achieve the desired result.
