The breadth of products at Samsung.com is ridiculous - so much stuff I didn't know about.

Let's say you want a TV.

Do you want 8K or 4K?

4K? Cool - do you want a regular QLED? What size? There's everything you could want. Oh! You want something that's a little more... chic?

Would the Serif do?

No? What about the Sero?

Fun fact - they have NINE different models of TV that offer an 85" version.

But that's nothing - they have thirty five different cell phones, each in different colors, sizes, and storage capacities.

Here's the Galaxy XCover Pro:

Want headphones for your new phone? No prob; you could pick up:

- Galaxy Buds Live
- Galaxy Buds +
- Galaxy Buds+ BTS
- or any number of wired headphones

Need a $4,000 Smart Fridge... with a built-in AKG sound system?

...

or a machine that steams/presses your clothes for you?

Do you need a Jet Bot?

Ever wanted to do your laundry over WiFi?

Ever wanted a new AC unit for your bedroom but hate that it blows pesky air?



... or maybe, simply, you just want a monitor that you connect to your computer but also offers applications you'd typically use on your computer right in the monitor?

It's the largest chaebol in South Korea. The diversity of products and services they sell are gigantic and go well beyond electronics.

LG too. My TV will give me a corner notification when my oven is done preheating.

 

[DevilMayGuy]

Holy shit

My partner does our washing over Wi-Fi on our LG washing machine

thats all I really have to contribute

I have a Samsung stove. Considering a Samsung dishwasher.

Isn't Samsung basically the Walmart of South Korea? It is mind blowing the breadth of products they offer.

I physically, for real laughed out loud reading this post. Not sure why I found it so funny. I guess it manages to hit the sweet spot between Seinfeld-ian mundanity and techno dystopia.

A few months ago, YouTube's algorithm decided to recommend me a bunch of Samsung Home Appliance commercials. I was enthralled and binged about 10 different ones. They're not only well made, but as a first time homebuyer in 4-5 years, my fiancé and I are thinking we want Samsung stuff all over in a new build lmao

[leberkas]

Oh there's way more than that.
How about a robot gun sentry?

Or big ol cargo ships? (Fun fact: They're worlds 2nd largest shipbuilder)

What about getting some life insurance? Why not choose Samsung Life?

Or you want some construction megaproject built? Guess who was an important part of building Bhurj Khalifa?

Samsung is an insane megaconglomerate and I'm not sure there's anything else quite of the same scale.

 

[Book One]

The people I've known who owned Samsung washers and dryers did not have positive experiences.


However, if I was rich I'd buy every weird ass TV I could find, and those first two definitely fit the bill.

Damn the wind free AC is blowing my mind

Just thought of this, but is this product aimed at the Korean market cuz there's that weird superstition about fans with the door closed sucking up all the air?

dont buy a Samsun fridge if you like working ice makers

Wait til you see Samsung's big brother, CJ Company--owner of brands from Bibigo to Netmarble.

Saw one at Costco. Looked up reviews and people weren't overly impressed. During Black Friday it was marked below $900 which made it enticing but still no buy.

 

[Brood]

I love stuff like this.

And they'll all break suddenly and with no explanation. Oh and your replacement Samsung device will also break.

My entire kitchen is basically Samsung stuff lol.

Yuuuuuuuuup

Sidebar: Nearly every Korean person, including Korean Americans, that I've ever asked about fan death believes it. These are your normal average, educated, savvy young professional Koreans. I'm sure some of them are pulling my leg, but that's a hell of a statistic.

My mind is always blown by that.

Can only speak about my own experience but had my fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave for years and years with no issues, all Samsung.

I have a dumb Samsung fridge, though you can add a WiFi dongle to it for some tech services. It's been rock solid except the ice maker. It's dogshit.

We've had our Samsung front loader washer and dryer for 4 years now. They are the best

 

[jph139]

When I was hunting for a cheaper Android phone, I really loved the options for Samsung - they have a bunch of different series, each with a lot of options. Took a lot of work to figure out, but there's definitely a "goldilocks" phone for everyone, with the right balance of price and specs. I mean, I had to buy it off eBay because it's not officially for sale in the US, but still!

Big fan of their phones. The S10e was one of my favorite phones in a long time, it was just a little too small for me so I ended up going with another android.

Samsung Pay is secretly my favorite feature of theirs. It's not just a regular phone payment method, it can also simulate your credit card's magnetic strip and trick card swiping machines into thinking a card was swiped and work even if it doesn't have NFC or mobile payment as an option.

Pretty much the main complaints are they they don't always get more than 1 or 2 Android updates, but I find Samsung puts in so many features day 1 in their phones I don't care at all about the big Android updates.
Being able to use their game app to make certain games run at lower res to save battery life, or use other features to customize the home bar buttons (add your own app shortcut, make the whole thing invisible, etc).

Only issues I have with a lot of their flagship are the curved screens (sick of those honestly, flat is always better) since I don't like the extra reflections or needing more expensive screen protectors, but they usually have a flat screen option eventually (like the S10e, or the current S20fe I think it's called).
I also didn't love their in-screen fingerprint reader when I tried a regular S10 for a while. For one thing it seemed more finicky than other phone makers who use an optical reader (like OnePlus) instead of Samsung's ultra sonic method. I also don't think their method works with all screen protectors which is annoying.
I prefer the S10e's side-mounted traditional fingerprint reader.

They also make and sell cars in Korea, do they not? It's a big tech company and has dipped its toes in lots of markets.

Or maybe there's just not much prospect of explosive growth or maybe they have debt vs the massive cash reserves Apple has, the market cap is after all governed by what shareholders and buyers think about the company, not necessarily its actual size. Maybe the employee numbers would be more useful to tell how big a company is, in the terms we usually think of as size.

I mean, in terms of market cap Tesla is the biggest car manufacturer, right?

At the end of the day revenue is what makes Apple so big.
Every year people buy their new products which gave good margins for them.

Estimated total revenue in billions $ in 2019

Or maybe I was just expressing wonder at how industrial companies can have a comparable revenue to what amounts to a phone maker.

Revenue is about equal for 2019 btw (total chaebol vs apple inc.).

Fact is, industrial contracts are very often cost+ and often have clauses reducing price over a certain number of years (because of calculated efficiency gains). These are lucrative in the aggregate, but the margins are tiny comared to 30-40% electronics margins.

market cap is not the only metric you should look when determining the size of a company, especially these days. Tesla has a higher market cap than all automobile companies combined.

AKG is just a brand name that Samsung owns now. The company essentially no longer exists. None of the engineers work there any more.
Austrian Audio was started by ex-AKG engineers, and is where many of them ended up.
