Why should Samsung bring forward the debut of the Galaxy S24?
Samsung usually announces new Galaxy S series devices at the end of February each year and makes them available in certain markets in early March. However, the company must change its strategy in 2024 due to behind-the-scenes issues.
The semiconductor chip sector is the South Korean brand's main source of revenue. However, weak market demand in 2022 resulted in a 96% drop in overall operating profit in the first quarter of 2023.
According to the data, the loss was not greater due to the solid sales of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 lines. Therefore, bringing forward the debut of the Galaxy S24 series will be a strategy to compensate for the natural drop in sales of the devices. of the previous generation and overcome the crisis in the chip division.
