What is this ‘sub’?

Here the ‘Sub’ refers to the OIS and autofocus (AF) actuator components that prevent the disruption caused due to handshake while clicking photos with the camera. If you block the up/down handshake, AF is actuated and if you block the left /right handshake the OIS function is implemented. The printed circuit board is equipped with the OIS assembly, AF carrier, ball guide, and a lens holder. Combining all these together the OIS actuator is completed.

The word ‘sub’ is commonly referred to in the industry as the sub-assembly process of combining the lenses together, which is the main process. Haesung Optics supplies the sub through MCNEX, and another camera module partnering along with Samsung Electronics to complete the OIS actuator. Haesung Optics is currently reviewing the specific sub-production facility and the investment scale.

Samsung Electronics is actively adopting the OIS function to all categories of smartphones, which was previously only to the selected ones, such as Galaxy S and Note. Samsung Electro-Mechanics accounted for around 90% of Haesung Optics and Haesung Optics is also expected to pursue the business direction of directly supplying the OIS actuators to Samsung in the long term.

Samsung Galaxy S24 September 2024 update

Samsung remained the king in the Q2 2024 market, but Apple and Xiaomi are getting closer. IDC market research data shows that Samsung led the worldwide smartphone market in the second quarter of the year and Chinese brands scored rapid growth.

According to IDC, Samsung sold 53.9 million devices in the second quarter. The company occupied an 18.9% market share internationally. The company has slightly improved its sales share up from 53.5 million units in the same period last year.

The data suggests that Apple ranked second in terms of global volume sales. The iPhone maker shipped 45.2 million devices in Q2, 2024. It captured a market share of 15.8%, a modest increase from 44.5 million shipments in the second quarter of last year.

Third comes Xiaomi. The Chinese brand saw massive growth in sales year over year. It had sold 42.3 million smartphones in the second quarter alone. It’s a big jump from 33.2 million units shipped in Q2 2023, becoming a potential threat to Apple and Samsung.

Apart from this, Vivo also recorded significant growth in the global market. The company’s year-over-year growth in Q2 was 21.9%, with sales listing 25.9 million units with a market share of 9.1%. The growth percentage shows that aggressive marketing and boasting competitive specs into devices is paying off.

Samsung, Apple’s game isn’t over…

Last week, Samsung launched its new foldable phones, releasing on July 24, 2024. Apple, on the other hand, is expected to launch new flagship iPhones in September. It means, Samsung will enjoy the third quarter as well. The fourth quarter might be of Apple as iPhone sales would sharply grow in the global market given the new lineup release.

Samsung is now preparing to unveil new FE products later this year, followed by the S25 series in early next year. Chinese brands are expected to debut their latest flagships in the last quarter of this year, while Google Pixel phones are also coming in August.

  • Consolidated Operating Profit: Approximately 10.4 trillion Korean won

The Korean tech giant is currently facing yield issues in its second-generation 3nm process. The flagship Exynos processor is unlikely to be commercialized this year. It would lead the Mobile business to face additional burdens due to rising prices of Snapdragon chipsets.

Meanwhile, Samsung is focussing on HBM (high bandwidth memory) semiconductors. HBM is a key player in artificial intelligence servers and data centers. The booming AI market will directly benefit Samsung’s semiconductor business.
