Taiwanese Economy can surpass South Korean Economy?
The Taiwanese companies have started leaving mainland China and are searching for new land for developing their roots looking for new production and development. Which could lead it to have more GDP than the top South Korean Companies.
According to the sources, Taiwan’s GDP per capita is expected to top 36000 US dollars this year, surpassing South Korea at 34,990 US dollars. International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released the data for Taiwan and said that there could be a rise of 6 percent in its GDP, which is more than that of South Korea.

The Economic researcher has revealed that this could be due to South Korean companies’ dependency on their partners and conglomerates, which are advantageous in terms of the economy but are very slow in responding to the economic contraction.
The possible reason could be a delay in material supply. As we can see the global supply chain for raw materials is already affected and even the bigger companies are facing problems with the stagnant issues in the supply chain.
Taiwan is being benefited from the diversified supply chain. It is regularly boosting its efforts by the regular emphasis on technology, semiconductor technologies in particular. It also started implementing new business-friendly policies reassuring its goals and business development.
Looking at this global companies such as Microsoft and Intel have also increased their investment and exports from Taiwan in the past 9 to 10 years. According to a business research firm, the economic growth of Taiwan has been recorded highest in the world for both the years 2019 and 2020, despite the devastating COVID conditions.
While watching the current status of the global semiconductors industry, it seems to be much more favorable for Taiwan. But Samsung Electronics is also not behind and currently leading the global chip market with innovative chip production techniques and raising the bar to new heights.
TSMC’s market profit is more in chip-making but its global product share is less than that of Samsung, which is 30 percent larger than its competitors. These days the Taiwanese company is focusing more on automotive chips, and Samsung is also competing for more. It has started investing more in its new substrate production line with improved quality, quantity, and technology in the United States and more places.
If Samsung needs to grow further, it has to reassure its investors and increase its raw material sourcing grounds, and we can see it by the company’s latest step by shifting its main chip foundries away from mainland China to South East Asia.
However, it’s our opinion that Samsung needs to reshuffle and rebuild its investment strategies. What do you think about it? you can share your thoughts in the comments below.

Will One UI 7.1 launch or be skipped after Samsung’s One UI 7 confirmation with Galaxy S25?
Samsung will debut the final version of One UI 7 with the Galaxy S25 series next year. The upcoming software will be available for testing on the Beta channel in 2024. Will One UI 7.1 launch or be canceled as Samsung confirms One UI 7 with Galaxy S25?
Final One UI 7.0 is confirmed to be unveiled with the Galaxy S25 series. There are several reasons why Samsung might launch the One UI 7.1, as well as some factors that suggest it could be canceled or delayed for older Galaxies.
Is Samsung streamlining One UI?
As Apple is continuously upping its iOS deployment game, Samsung could focus more on delivering feature-packed major releases. Therefore, the One UI 7.1 is also suspected to be canceled, which isn’t impossible for Samsung.
We still assume the Galaxy S25 series will ship with the new One UI 7.1 software. It could be based on Android 15, the same as the One UI 7.0. The company might keep it exclusive to new Galaxy flagships for about two months.
It’s also possible that One UI 7.0 will debut brand-new designs and experiences. The mid-cycle One UI 7.1 version will introduce more new Galaxy AI features, which Samsung could expand to select older models sequentially.
One UI x.1
Samsung has a history of bringing mid-cycle One UI versions since the beginning. Starting with the One UI 1.1, the South Korean tech giant debuted mid-cycle versions up to One UI 6.1. There’s another Fold/Flip-focused 6.1.1 version as well.
Previously, Samsung used to debut mid-year version as an incremental update. The initial x.1 version brought minor changes and stability improvements. However, the company has completely revamped its One UI software strategy.
Anyways, Galaxy users deserve the best features out there in the industry. Samsung is committed to continuously upscale the Galaxy experience. Whether One UI 7.1 arrives or not, new features and enhancements will arrive on One UI.
What do you think? Will One UI 7.1 arrive, or is Samsung gearing up for a new approach to software updates? Time will tell, but one thing is certain—Samsung is set to make a big impact with its Galaxy S25 series and One UI 7 in 2025.
Galaxy S25 Series
The Galaxy S25 series could be announced in January next year. The company has significantly revamped its design strategy. Signature design language will live on, but other appearance-related changes are most likely.
In particular, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, won’t have a boxy design. Samsung has reportedly rounded the frame corners, making the next Ultra look more like the vanilla Note 20. The screen will be flat as the S24 Ultra and the camera design could be replicated.
