Samsung wins finest consumer electronics brand at Best Brand Awards 2022
On March 11th, the Best Brands Awards 2022 were presented, where Samsung received the ‘Best Consumer Electronics’ and ‘Best Telecom’ awards for the fourth year in a row. The brand also won the new category ‘Best Hybrid Brand’ at this year’s awards.
The Best Brand Awards, now being presented for the seventh time in Belgium, are the result of a large-scale, multi-sectoral customer survey conducted directly by Communications Agency Serviceplan and Market Research Agency GfK.
The unique concept of the best brands measures the strength of a brand based on a two-dimensional study conducted by GfK (5,000 Homes and 350 Brands Analysis): actual financial success in the market (wallet share) and consumer emotional impact. And all of this without jury intervention.
Samsung is very proud of this recognition. It is the reward for daily effort to push the boundaries of technological innovation, which allows the company to put the customer and their needs first.
“This new nomination in the ‘Best Hybrid Brand’ category is very encouraging for us. Despite the pandemic and the increase in online sales, we opened our third and fourth Experience Stores last year. We also notice that consumers generally feel more comfortable with an online purchase if they know there is a physical Samsung store nearby,” said Davy Moons, Mobile Marketing Manager at Samsung Belgium.

We have been hearing about the EV-like battery’s arrival on mobile devices. It was reported that Samsung could first bring the new battery tech in wearables. Indeed, Samsung’s all-solid-state batteries will boost future Galaxy devices.
Developments indicate at imminent launch of all-solid-state and pure silicon batteries. The new all-solid-state batteries will debut with Samsung’s future mobile devices. The mass production is expected to commence by 2026.
You may have heard about Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ achievement of successfully developing ultra-small all-solid-state batteries. These batteries replace flammable liquid electrolytes with solid ones, enhancing safety and reducing many risks.
Apart from Samsung, a North American firm is also said to be working on pure silicon batteries. This technology only uses silicon for the anode as part of promising significantly increased battery life and reduced charging times.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has a lead…
The Korean tech giant recently announced the successful development of oxide-based ultra-small all-solid-state batteries. Samsung has also supplied prototypes to key customers for evaluation before commercializing into consumer products.
Notably, Samsung is the world’s first firm that has achieved the milestone of developing ultra-small all-solid-state batteries. As mass production is expected in 2026, we assume the Galaxy Watch 9 series could boast new all-solid-state batteries.
All-solid-state batteries are cells, which replace liquid electrolytes with non-flammable solids. Samsung is pushing for applications in wearable devices that closely adhere to the body, such as smartwatches and earbuds.
