Samsung: complaining about lack of sales of memory chips
Also Samsung: removed memory card slots from their flagships
Not just that, everybody increased the price of 256 and 512 GB devices massively because from 2020 the only really defining feature of a new phone was software and storage.
And then the SSD prices fell through the floor for 8 months, before shooting through the roof 4 months ago. So, before they were losing money because of the excessively low price, now they aren't selling because of the excessively high price.
I'm surprised about the panels not doing well, since the competition either sucks ass or is unreliable.
Slava TSMC 🇹🇼
Maybe the reason is they've doubled the prices.... but the bad news is... I was considering buying an SSD and now I no longer have money, so even if they lower their prices I can't buy one. Good luck to Samsung and their exorbitant SSD prices.
It depends on the region, in Europe you can get memory card slot combo with the sim card
@@alihorda are you talking about the Ultra phones or the regular s lines? If that's the case, maybe the trade-off is the CPU. I think Samsung gave extra perks like that for one the Note line phones: more storage and RAM because you didn't get a Snapdragon version.
The AI buttons just feel like the second round of the digital assistant craze
The new Amazon tide button.

What do I need that for? I have bixby... 🙄
I miss the days when the AI news was always exciting. We're into that phase now where every company is just finding any excuse to add "AI" into their products without a care for whether we actually need it.

totally not expecting that Polestar owns Meizu and Hyundai owns Boston Dynamics
Polestar doesn’t own meizu. A Chinese company owns both polestar and meizu.
@@_Ker Isn't Geely owning Volvo (so also Polestar)? BTW, just read that they sold some part of the Volvo Trucks, so in that company they seem to not be the biggest shares owner anymore.
Yup Geely Owns /Majority Stake in Meizu and Volvo which owns polestar , Basically Geely Owns Meizu,Vovlo, Polestar, weird thing is that Meizu recently Exited the smartphone market to focus on AI , Honestly Putting all of it together gives you a scary Combination

4:42 idk what Samsung was expecting when they removed the MicroSD slot on their phones...
4:42 idk what Samsung was expecting when my s20+ display became white and pretty much useless after a s/w update
You should be the CEO of Samsung, smartass
inbuilt memory is more expensive compared to external.
This is why they need to think before they add things to the phone.. users will cry harder when you take away like when they never had it (i mean iPhone users are not cring about it..). The MicroSD card simply outdated, it's too slow compared to the built in method, so if you try to record a 4k video on it will fail, not fast enough (their sequental write speed is fine, but if 2 app use it in the same time and it's become random write speed, it's way too slow, and they just simply need to remove because of the users who don't know anything, buying the cheapest MicroSD what is extremly slow, and calling the Samsung support why is the card is too slow.. and it's their mistake if they buy the 50MB/s limited card, it's obvious it's slower like the 2000-4000MB/s internal storage.. so to protect the support from retards just it's the best to remove the slot..
they are selling external storages and then removing SD slots in their phones 😂.
Genius indeed
Ah yes, the greatest way to integrate the AI buzzword: forcibly adding physical buttons that people will launch accidentally! Great motivation to avoid buying new products from Logitech.
Reminds me of the Bixby button on Samsungs.
God, I hate it!
What is wrong with you?
They put a Facebook button on my 2011 HTC phone. I still use the phone, but I don't use the FB button - lol -.
@@SidneyCriticI highly doubt you still use a 13 year old phone
they learned nothing from the bixby button hate
Whataapp end to end encryption is when every keystroke gets sent to the cloud to generate an image AS YOU TYPE WOOOW!

is it supposed to be a surprise that samsung memory card business is failing after they removed the SD card slot from their own devices?
😂😂
Indeed.
It also doesn't help that most phone manufacturers have moved away from SD cards, and that people no longer use separate cameras to take pictures.
"Memory" in this case does not refer to just removable storage, but computer memory in general. I don't think microSD cards would account for much of this category, and certainly not of the magnitude referenced in the video.
they earn far more by upselling you to a higher storage variant (which costs significantly more than just buying an sd card even their own one) Or just selling you cloud storage in perpetuity. The reason their business is falling apart is because people are just not buying enough smartphones and PCs since peak covid.
The whole thing with companies putting AI into stuff like headphones and mice, and making "AI pins" just seems so forced and out of place.
Regarding Samsung's crysis (1 ? 2 ? Remastered ?) mode, I really appreciate that it is for EXECUTIVES. That's actually so rare to see. If a problem arrives and, like, more work needs to be done, it's usually the regular employees that take the grunt. Here it seems like they are actually taking this seriously. Even though I don't like Samsung anymore, I respect this part of their work ethic.
South Korea and their toxic work culture.
You don’t think the overworked execs will make the employees suffer..?
@@cassanateli Most probably they will.
In Japan, when a business is underperforming the executives will take a pay cut as punishment. In the US it’s not unheard of for them to get a raise, they have no qualms about getting a bonus for just existing and laying off employees to pay for it.
but Samsung is Korean.
Geniuses at Samsung wanted to be apple and removed SD card slots in their phones, now they wonder why their SD cards aren't selling.
Holy crap, we dont need chatGPT shoehorned into everything. Im sick of it already. As someone who doesnt use ai, all these extra buttons are just wastes of space that id rather be able to bind to what I want them to do
Just make search engines actually result-neutral and ad-free like they used to be, and that’ll be enough for me.
Yea, I write scripts and light code and every time I ask an AI to generate code for me it is uselessly verbose. Often times I can do the job in half the lines. But the biggest problem is when there is a problem. On recent was where I was trying to integrate multiple radio button groups... AI fundamentally did not understand my problem. I even flat copied the code it produced and I had the exact same problem.
So I resolve it for myself using a completely different method. AI is not actually AI, it's all just a bunch of fancy "match tables" with no actual intelligence behind them along with the "biases" of the company that designed it.
AI is already running into a giant feed back loop where they all just reference each other and does not even know what the original source of record is. Homogenization here we come! Zero Diversity brought to us by the diversify everything crowd!
@@thesullivanstreetprojectLMAO that has to be the biggest lie of all time
Neutral my ass
It’s as biased if not more than google
U missed google merging android, pixel and ChromeOS teams
I have worked at companies in crisis mode in the past. When this is done more mistakes are made. Just ship it attitude takes over, and burn out skyrockets.
I know I got the burnout mode after working close to 100 hours a week for 2 months. Left the industry for 2 years (yes I became homeless at the time) took my another year, including rehab camps re rebuild.
Many of these Asian companies doing this are just creating their own disaster.
Absolutely true! Crisis mode in software development always means a screwed up release.
I see that the emergency meeting button is getting a lot of good use by -Among Us- Samsung management)
Samsung :- removes sd slot from it's devices
Also samsung :- 😨😨our sd cards ain't selling
That's not really the reason.. Even when SD card slots existed, only a VERY small fraction of the users actually used it. And with internal storage capacity constantly getting bigger, less and less people will be using that slot.
@@0xD1CE yep that's true but when you look at the budget segment(popular in price sensative markets like asia and africa) people often buy 128gb or even 64 gb vairent and just expand storage with sd slot. Removing it from budget devices make no sense.
IF sd slot was still around they could've atleast bundled a sd card with the phone box as a part of student or something that would have helped them clear their inventory.
If only their phones had micro sd slots, they wouldn't lose so much on memory chip business
But that time the workers need to work even more than 6days a weak.. because every second call on the support is why the 50MB/s MicroSD card is not capable to do things on the same speed like the built-in 2000-4000MB/s internal storage.. (like failing to write the 4k video recordig, when sequental write falls to randon write which has about 2% of sequentalt write speed so just 1-3MB/s..)
they earn far more by upselling you to a higher storage variant (which costs significantly more than just buying an sd card even their own one) Or just selling you cloud storage in perpetuity. The reason their business is falling apart is because people are just not buying enough smartphones and PCs since peak covid.
They do have tho
Interesting that the emergency is for the executives. Kinda sounds to me like the company - which to be fair, is a lot of tech companies - is built under the assumption of eternal growth and no such thing as long-term economic downturns or increased pressure from competition. If your business is built upon growth with no alternative plans for when that growth doesn't happen - it's only a matter of time before it fails.
Maybe their SD card business wouldn't sink if they actually started to ship flagship phones with an SD card slot? They made a huge whoopsie by selling phones without SD card slots, encouraging others to follow suit, and guess what? Micro SD cards are now obsolete since the only popular devices which use them are home security cameras and the Nintendo Switch.
Emergency mode: activated
***robot noises***
As someone who lives in Korea, I can tell you that this Samsung "emergency mode" is perfectly normal here. When there's a problem, the solution here is always to just throw more effort at it.
Allows alternative stores, but every app in here must still be Apple approved. How is this different from befofe?
different fee for developers
@@sgtnik4871 And yet they still give apple a cut in the end. Malicious compliance at its finest
The bixby button has been ahead of the curve. Samsung was living the future.
/s
Also altstore has been around for a long time but it required you to jump through a lot of hoopes. For example it required a mac or pc to verify apps, and you had to constantly resign your apps all the time. So it wasn't really practical.
I did use the alt store to use my original Pebble Watch with my iPhone 13 pro
AltStore used to be better though. It used to have loads of apps, and it wasn't too hard to set up auto-resigning, so you basically could get all sorts of apps (mostly jailbreaks) and skip the apple approval.
Boston Dynamics has an awesome PR team. The launch video of the new Atlas is so creepy that everyone is talking about it. This is probably exactly what the PR team intended.
They removed sd card from their own phones what did they expect
I know a very, very simple way how Samsung could reanimate its memory buisness: give S-series users the option to slice it into their Phone again. Specially because these phones are such good cameras it would make a tone of sense.
How it's a competition when it's still controlled by apple?
I never understood this from Apple apologists. The company still controls everything and the devloper still has to pay Apple it's tax.
This is textbook "give them something by giving them nothing"
Shhh
I LOVE APPLE
(I was not heard by gunpoint saying this) 😊
I wonder why my previous comment isn't showing...
@@Mkrabs Gunpoint didn't hear you saying that? Are you positive he wasn't within earshot?
LLMs everywhere EXCEPT the Nest devices we have actually bought years ago for this kind of interaction but which are getting more more stupid as time goes by.
It’s crazy how companies put ai into everything EXCEPT stuff that would actually be useful.
Don't worry, in about 2 years every button on all devices you interact with will be ai. Try to make a toast? Nah, you now get a 500 word description of the history of toast toasting. Try to flush the toilet? Bad luck, that's now activating your personal toilet experience assistance powered by chat gpt.
@@fredrickbambino "You can't expect us to give up our planned obsolescence mentality!"
This robot innovation shows how terminator had it a little wrong since they used pistons and assumed visible hydraulics.
It was inevitable that motors would replace hydraulics. The EV market pushed this into reality by having very powerful motors and controllers.
I for one welcome our new robotic overlords!
the new robot looks really cool, it looks like a companion that would give you tutorials in a scifi adventure game
Then throttles you in your sleep.
I think I miss why it is useful to launch chatgbt from your earphones. I mean everything that you could possibly want can you do with Google assistant and more. I can't see or miss why it should be useful like that.
Samsung: wont let you use an SD card on their phones.
Also samsung: why is nobody buying our SD cards 😢😢😢
samsung: We won't have dedicated memory car slot in our phones. Memory business loss== surprised pikachu face.
Big brain idea... Bring back microsd card slots in Samsung phones...
5:28 Regarding "app store alternatives" - which in this video refers to Apple/iOS app stores - I think the Epic Games Store and the God-of-Games store from CD-Projekt should have _their_ app stores available on Steam OS. I think that would also be good for competition.
And/or additionally/alternatively, GPD-Win, Asus, Lenovo, and other hardware manufacturers should coordinate on making a Proton-based Linux operating system (initally focused on supporting hand-helds, but gradually geared towards desktop PCs and "alternative" living-room consoles) that support the Steam Store, Epic Games Store, GoG stores, and other stores. Primarily to start making leeways to break the Microsoft/X-Box walled garden that seems to dominate commercial global videogame production & development nowadays.
Heck even Sony/Playstation can also make a game store or port the Playstation store to said Proton-plus-Linux-based gaming operating system.
steam os is not forced to allow app stores
Epic and GOG need to make a Linux client first. Epic doesn’t like Linux and GOG sells some Linux ports so they’d be the most likely to make a Linux app. SteamOS doesn’t prevent you from running those under translation layers related to Proton, it doesn’t stop you from doing anything you can do on a regular PC. I like your idea of decreasing Microsoft’s near PC monopoly and the handheld PC makers collaborating on a Linux distribution.
The optimal approach would be for all of them to focus on SteamOS, but Valve is infamously hard to collaborate with. Thanks to Valve’s inability to muster anything faster than a snail’s pace, SteamOS is still stuck on the SD. Instead Lenovo, Asus etc. should collectively make their own Linux distribution that can also be used on a regular PC, why they haven’t done so is a bit puzzling. Specially when they could use community made Linux distributions, I’m sure ChimeraOS and Bazzite developers would be happy to work with professionals from major tech firms.
Speaking of increasing competition, handheld PCs should give rise to x86 gaming phones. Mobile Linux is in dire need of developers, it’s way rougher than desktop Linux. Android and iOS devices have some anti consumer attributes and control too much of the market. Proton based OS makes no sense, just make it as easy to use for any app as it is on Steam.
the quality of content on this channel is crazy
You can get altstore in the United States It just requires a mac with developer tools and the alt server installed to get it to run. Its not exactly ideal but you don't have to jailbreak your device to make it work. It uses the fact that you can compile and run your own code on your iphone if your phone is put into developer mode. but If you don't pay apple the developer fee you can only keep it on your device for 6-7 days before you have to refresh the apps. Some apps also require just in time compilation to be enabled on your phone to work properly. which on ios 17 is a pain to get working.
Samsung takes away every feature that separated them from the iPhone, then is surprised when people buy iPhones instead of Samsungs.
No they didn't. They still have far more unique features that iPhone doesn't have
@@autograndeunlimitedyeah, like you can actually unlock the frigging bootloader without a PC and install something else on it
samsung...just an idea....how about dropping the price of your S24 ultra by 25%? I mean ...wow that baby is pricey!
They do this at launch all the time. Then raise up the price back up for a few months before dropping the price again, due to lack of sales
Dont usually like adverts but that Nebula news thing looks good! might consider it!
Adding the Xperia event to my calendar 😄
Once the US brings all there chips fabs online there should be an oversupply of chips in the markets. Looking forward to cheaper electronics in the coming years
4:35
Same Samsung who removed the possibility of using micro SD on their phones with the competitors following through.
All because they wanted sell multiple version of the same phone with different size of memory.
Really excited about the new Xperia that's coming out!
I love your channel and the dedication, and your pronunciation for Euopean tech companies are on point but the pronunciation of Asian tech companies - like Samsung, literally the title for the video, is pretty tough. But great video as always!
alt store was able to use developer mode on iphone to do this before. Also at least with the developer mode version there are more apps. for example there is a open source minecraft java launcher.
Yku must be kidding: Samsung selling less SD cards after removing SD slots on all of their phones for years?! Wtf
Thanks for the vid
Variable aperture on a phone is pretty cool I have to say.
It's not exactly Variable Aperature.
Edit; Also, variable aperature has been on phones before.
That robussy is gonna go crazy.
Kinda of like the early days of the WWW in the late 90s when all the image icon button things were spinning and blingy and in glorious 16 different colors
I wonder if it will be possible to remove any “alt” app stores? I don’t want them.
Thanks
it could be interesting to see a video about "the rise of 4 day work weeks"
You know that you can use altstore everywhere with a mild amount of effort?
Still bitter about the S series white/green line issue.
Was a fan of samsung brand for a decade.
I'm so... ready for an AI that keeps suggests recipes & makes suggestions based on what I highly rated before.
Give the robot a pew pew lol
I find it hilarious that Boston dynamics is answering the big questions - like what do we pick up next?
We’ve gone from 50% of all internet activity being fake or AI generated, to over 70%…this cannot be a good thing.
The memory chip problem could have a way solution. Put micro sd slots back in your phones and bundle them with your phones. Boom
The new insta360 looks pretty cool !
I already have Meta AI in Africa
alt store is old news it existed world wide but it require a server to inject it and start and that method is free it also let you sign IPA files wich the cloud doesn't let you lol
wait, why does Apple generally ban clipboard managers?
4 day work week is like friday afternoon off. We, mortals, will never have it.

You should also bring in Mondays while you are at it. it should not be Fridays alone. Big fan.

Samsung: 6 DAYS WORK WEEK!
Maybe the memory chip crisis will lead to the executives coming up with a genius and innovative idea, like putting an SD card slot in their phones. Imagine the innovation.
Winamp 3… Winamp 3, it really whips the Llama 3’s ass.
Delta emulator is available on the regular app store
Most about what you said abou alt store is wrong. Alt store has existed for a pretty long time now.
The problem just is that you have to self sign the apps every 7 days and you can only have 3 apps installed at the same time
price wars, I need mor nvme storage
Damn, I hope this doesn't mean degrading of Samsung Storage Cards, their storage media is absolutely solid.
Samsung killed sd card in their s series then they wonder why their sd card sale go down.

😢
@@AD95YA You can browse through kindle books but cannot purchase it on app.
First companies used to add "eco" in their products, then it was "nano", later it was "blockchain" and now its "AI". We kinda skipped VR\AR, but there is hope for second chance to appear!
You can shoehorn AI into any device with an internet connection, the same can't be said for VR, the consumer needs specific hardware for that. VR is forced to grow organically.
@@chaon93 Well, yeah. Just recently bought new fitness bracelet and upon activation application asked if i want to let "AI" to analyze my vital statistics. Oh yes, they was doing this just fine without AI before, but now they tends to call any existing algorithm or analytics software as AI.
Technically, the Game Store is already on an android store, the Galaxy Store on an Android Galaxy device. Or you could just sideload the official APK on android.
The emulator is also now available in the Appstore itself
Bruh u missed out on the huawei news
they like to call it "safe mode"
samsung just needs to switch from silicone to graphene semiconductor's
Is Samsung really crying about its memory chip business? They could easily revive it by BRINGING THE SD-CARD SLOT BACK TO THEIR PHONES. If they do it, other brands will do it as well. How dense can a global tech giant actually be without going bankrupt?!

@@akashP998maybe if smartphone manufacturers would innovate instead of putting gimmicky bs no one wants into the phone people would buy them. Also, why would I pay $1300 for a smartphone?! I'd rather put that into a desktop computer or other cool hardware.
If samsung would just bring back the SD card slot, they would have better sales because normal people would actually have a used for sd card slots for expanded storage!!! DUH!
Why not hire more managers instead of putting more work on one person. Legitimately retiredly amazing Samsung.
5:58 the app self publishing thing seems like a decent workaround for the whole 'no equivalent to .apk' issue
Except for that "apps still need to be approved by Apple" thing
@@kalleguld true, I forgot about that. Something akin to github would've been too good to be true I guess 😭
Samsung's crisis mode may just work in Korea. The social pressure to remain employed at the 5 chaebols are inmense there.
Can't say it will work at branches in other countries though
It sounds like they just adopted crunch. 'cause that always seems to fix things at development studios huh. /s
No wonder their birth rates are plummeting.
Watching the joke about us 7 nerds, from my Xperia 5 mark II hurts a little bit. I really hope Sony keeps making devices.
Samsung needs to bring back the memory slot for their flagship phones and the SD memory sales will go to the moon
I am waiting for price to go back down to buy my microsd
Btw the delta app is also on the App Store😂
That meta AI is everywhere.
You have to pay for AltStore? What’s the point??
Apple charges them for each download so yes, you have to pay
