Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8 smartphones at its Galaxy Unpacked event in London. The company increased prices for two models by $100 to offset rising memory chip costs. This launch serves as a strategic move to defend foldable market leadership ahead of Apple's expected entry into the segment.
Samsung is reportedly negotiating a €1 billion investment in French AI startup Mistral. This potential deal signals a significant strategic pivot toward artificial intelligence integration.
The company also established a new Robotics eXperience (RX) Business Division reporting directly to the CEO. This initiative to accelerate robotics development triggered a rally in South Korean robotics stocks.
