Samsung in search of sustainable growth engines?
Samsung is presently working on improving its digital design. Improving its high-performance computing infrastructure. Working on the latest QLEDs to make it thinner and slimmer. Continuously doing lots of innovation to improve the battery performance of its device.
After conquering the single fold and double fold display technology presently working on advanced triple-fold display technology. Any of these things can be a possible growth engine for Samsung in the present year 2022.
Samsung is ambitiously moving towards its goal and aims to more acquisitions in the upcoming days. Samsung Electronics is currently having 125 trillion won (98 billion dollars) in its pocket but has not done any successful corporate acquisition deals after taking over the global sound technology company Harman for 8 billion US dollars in 2016.
The present-day competition in smartphones, TVs, and memory chip production is the faster-growing call for the industry, possibly the next growth engine for Samsung.
By the end of 2023, Samsung Display is likely to supply nearly 70 million units of OLED for the iPhone 15 series to Apple. The company’s OLED volume by model is estimated to be in the low 20 million units for the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, 9 to 10 million for Pro, and ~ 30 million for Pro Max.
Among the four iPhone 15 models, the 15 Pro Max OLED estimate, which Apple plans to produce the most, is four times higher for Samsung than for LG Display. Industry watchers say that Samsung Display’s iPhone 15 Pro Max OLED volume is in the mid-20 million units, three times that of LG Display.

The prevailing view is that LG Display will have 15% more OLED volume than Samsung Display (9 million to early 10 million units). Those who see it differently predict that Samsung Display will secure around 20 million units of 15% OLED, which will be more than LG Display.

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
