JK Shin, Keynote Speech “Future of the Smart Phone is NOW”

At Samsung’s CTIA keynote address this morning, JK Shin unveiled the Galaxy S and discussed the company’s vision for ‘Democratization of Smart Phone’. With an increasingly challenging and dynamic market environment, Samsung is continuing to innovate to stay ahead, looking to smart phones as the core of its strategy. According to industry estimates, global sales of smart phones will double by 2013 and account for one-fourth of all handset sales. With first-time buyers driving half of global sales, it’s clear that the appeal of smart phones is no longer limited to early adopters or even to advanced economies.

JK Shin announced Samsung’s vision “to advance the democratization of the smart phone” and “to make smart phones available for everyone, regardless of cost, need, lifestyle or geographic location.” This strategy points to Samsung’s commitment to deliver devices, applications and services that are relevant for every lifestyle and to empower users around the globe with access to the information and connections that produce valuable user experiences. Mr. Shin also introduced the Smart Life concept and said, “Smart Life is delivering a smart phone experience that is simple, organized and integrated. And Smart Life is flexible and versatile, allowing smart phone users to customize their user experience to fit their own needs.” Based on feedback from U.S. consumers, this philosophy embodies Samsung’s drive to build a new class of smart phones that will maximize user experiences.
