Samsung plans to double Gemini-powered AI devices to 800 million in 2026, says co-CEO T M Roh
Samsung Electronics co-CEO T M Roh said that the company aims to double the number of its mobile devices with AI features powered by Google’s Gemini in 2026. By 2025, the South Korean firm had rolled out Gemini-backed AI features to about 400 million mobile products, including smartphones and tablets. It now plans to boost that figure to 800 million in the current year. “We will apply AI to all products, all functions, and all services as quickly as possible,” Roh told news agency Reuters in his first interview since becoming the company’s co-CEO in November. With the move, Samsung seeks to reclaim its lost crown from Apple in the smartphone market, the report says. It also aims to fend off competition from Chinese rivals not only in mobile telephones, but televisions and home appliances, all overseen by Roh.
