I was a full-time corporate employee at Samsung Electronics of America, in Orange County, CA. I LOVED that job, I loved my co-workers, the higher ups I was interacting with. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had, a true dream job. Come Sept. 27, 2024, they laid of 30% of us, it was a dark day. They kept the contractors though. I'm still trying to find another job since the lay offs. EDIT: For those asking, I was in Data Analytics and saw where the company was losing money. I was not a DEI hire. TBH, someone from R&D and Innovation needs to be CEO instead of the accounting dept. calling the shots. I learned a lot, and looking forward to my next adventure. Good luck to those looking for employment as well, we'll make it soon!
The job market right now is absolutely awful. I've been trying to find one for months to offset my increasing debt after falling for an APP scam to no luck. I hope you can find one soon.
This sound like a Linkedin post and the irony is that you are already layed off and still defending them but well, is your opinion. I worked in the same building where a Samsung office was located in Latam. Nobody mentioned anything positive about them. The most shocking thing I heard was mouses being throwed at local employees but they endured that because of the paycheck. When I was in the elevators, I noticed how all the middle and higher up managers were SK males. The irony is that in the same building was a chinese multinational and they have more women in leading positions than in Samsung.
I worked for another one of Korea's chaebols which was very similar to Samsung, in fact many of the people went back and forth between this company and Samsung. They often hired only Korean and especially family members of current employees. I saw engineer teams completely miss obvious flaws in chips and product designs and if you pointed it out to them and you were not Korean they would flip out and get really angry. Many of the Korean managers wouldn't even talk to their non-Korean staff that were technically their employees, they would hire in an intern or some type of assistant (usually Korean female) and they would handle communication and instruction to non-Korean workers. Even though they were a tech company the people working there weren't very big into tech or the products they were selling. To this day I still wonder how these companies have been so successful, I guess this happens at many big companies but......
Sounds like Korea. People say America is a rcst country, they haven't been to China, Japan, or South Korea yet. I have a Laotian friend who was in the USMC and was stationed in Japan and has been to South Korea with his unit. He told me how the citizens of Japan and Korea treated him, Blacks and Hispanics in his unit like dirt, but would treat White people in his unit with respect.
When I asked Samsung several years ago why we couldn't get the Snapdragon variant of their flagship phones in NZ they responded that the Snapdragon chip was not compatible in my country. I knew this was utter nonsense and that Samsung were, and still are, using countries like NZ as a dumping ground for their inferior Exynos chip.
@@SuperMerlot I also ditched Samsung. The truth is that all smartphones are basically the same now anyway. They keep trying to convince us we need to buy the latest model because it has a faster this or better that but many of us don't even use the features we have at the moment.
Some of said SKU's don't support the bands of major 4G/5G NZ networks in NZ fyi, it's a pain to sell them retail given they might not operate on certain providers and customers don't understand that or know how to research it themselves.
Same here in India. Not sure about the latest Exynos chips but some of the older ones had major heating and connectivity issues. I don't care about a little performance loss but these kinds of issues are a showstopper. Especially if I'm shelling out the big bucks for a S-series phone.
In Korea the normal solution to a company problems is spend more time at work. All that happens is the lights at the office stay on longer and staff spend time surfing the internet.
@@kpopbillionaire Korea never been an innovator, that throne belongs to US & Japan, and other european countries. they could create the illusion of Giant because they leverage tech from other countries, and they hired a lot of brilliant mind from all over the world to work on their project. the local? not so much there are a lot of monster genius out there, and korean are not one of them. i've seen what they're capable of, i've dissect the data, they're just not there even their entertainment play with the same rule as well. your most popular Kpop songs are produced by american music producers, majority of songs that were produced by locals flop in international market. even some of the MV or choreography are either directed or created by american. make sure to check the Credit from now on and also if your countries put their massive Gdp on one single companies, your company should be able to become giant as well. there is no shame though, you can't be the winner all the time, this is not a game of superiority, it's good to acknowledge other as well

Samsung just got complacent. They used to be at the cutting edge and usually brought new features to phones years before companies like Apple. They had LG nipping at their heels, though. Eversince LG Mobile went bust, they started modeling their strategy after Apple. The problem with that is that unlike Apple, they dont have a cult. Chinese brands are the ones pushing innovation forward now.
Complacency is what's killing everything nowadays. No one's trying to compete so they're all stagnating, rotting away, making crappier products and charging more for it. This is why competition is healthy, it forces these bastards to innovate and come up with new ways to bring people to them.
Apple understood that consumer tech would start to plateau, and so they took their time to perfect everything instead of trying to differentiate themselves as having done it first. Now it has reached that plateau, and Apple is still able to sell "new" features. None of the features we use/want really needed to be rushed into our hands, and Apple got that. But you are right about the cult part, and because of that Apple doesn't really compete against the brands making phones that run Android.
@@chuck7415 Apple is just status symbol in countries outside of US and Canada, and in US and Canada they are locking users by hindering basic communications with non-Apple devices. They have not gotten anything. infact others innovated so much that their r&d used to cost a lot and sales didn't show as much due to them not being recognized as status symbols. which is why everyone else have also now given up on innovation and just bring minor upgrades year after year. Even while being more OPEN, Google gets fines left right and centre for Play Store Monopoly and being asked not to have Google Dialer/Phone as default on other phones and now again being asked to sell off Chrome. while Same lawsuit against Apple affects them like nothing It's like Apple have people in the inside to control every judgement in their favour. So majority of companies have given up trying and just milking what they already have, just like Apple does. and everyone is creating their own ecosystem. Android watches no more work with Apple Devices. and this is just a start to all evilistic approached to consumer products and all of it was started due to Apple.
Theres a broader issue here in Korea which is the fact that the stock market is heavily skewed towards corporations instead of stock holders so Korean ppl themselves don’t want to invest in these mega corporations with huge influence over politicians anymore since the gov provides very little protection for investors. For example, it is extremely difficult to get a class action lawsuit going in court because theres so many bureaucratic hurdles you have to get through before you can even present your case in front of a judge so it is very popular amongst young people to invest in the US stock market or even crypto currencies instead unfortunately
I have a feeling Korea has a lot of structural problems that have come from the way they rapidly developed, similar to the massive issues affecting China today and Japan in the 80s
It's how it should be, being beholden to shareholders is the reason why so many products these days are such awful quality, if you want to invest in a company it should 100% be at your own risk.
Imagine being a most selling products company n go bankrupt next day (Nokia), these days, especially with Chinese companies nothing is for sure nothing is for a long term. Imagine to be in top 3 (Mercedes, BMW, Audi), Imagine being VW the biggest car group n now having an existential crisis
Well, it’s public company but do not know how much shares are out there , so investors are maybe just expressing worries. But if it would go private, nothing maybe would change 😅 as Samsung is Samsung, they are from construction to army, not just in Korea tough. They are building big big sky rappers all over the world and so on. They do not have just hospitals, they I think also manufacture medical tools and etc 😅 so I guess Samsung what we know , there is maybe very little shares, same way as VW for example where Porsche fasist family owns over 70%? So market cap is based on just 30 % shares. Same I think goes to Samsung, so I guess they are on public market just for PR and those kind of things , for American or Arab markets
Honestly.. samsung forgot who they are.... everyone chose samsung because they always offered the things apple didnt as far as their phones go.. expandable memory, removable battery (back in the day), head phone jack etc.. theyve taken all these things away.. people clearly aint happy.

@@dmalka336 After 2 years my Samsung S22's display is now covered with vertical lines, can't read messages anymore, Samsung's screen replacement costs 300 dollars.

If they had never created Bixby and weren't so invasive with their software, then they would probably be doing better. Being a bit behind in technology isn't that big of a deal when your customers feel more comfortable (in general) using your products because they have a guarantee that you won't be taking liberties with the products that they already paid for. But unfortunately, Samsung took many MANY liberties that no one asked for, and they lost a lot of faith, confidence, and trust because of that. I could care less if they were up-to-date with AI technology etc. just as long as the product that I paid for was overall convenient, comfortable, and DIDN'T install extra apps that I DID NOT ASK FOR. Also, making Bixby (along with their other Samsung-specific apps) difficult to disable, uninstall, etc. having to go through a multi-step process (or just straight up unavailable to get rid of) was a sign that they didn't care about what their customers wanted. Samsung ONLY cares about what Samsung wants.
You are talking about DX teams. That is a smaller part of Samsung Electronics compared to memories and chips, DS. They made a massive blunder by stopping Samsung cloud development. Everything went downhill post that as this stopped AI groups, chip manufacturing groups, and storage groups from advancing their research that was focused on AI based products. Samsung Electronics makes way more money in memories, storage, and chip sales.
I remember an old Samsung phone of mine can't be used anymore not because of electronic problem, but because I can't delete lots of Samsung enforced apps and as time goes by it run out of storage capacity and I can't use it properly.
4:27 could not be more of the case, when I worked at Samsung, you saw red tape and general disarray everywhere, it was insane. I was working on AI for a device that I couldn't even get my hands on, yet reviewers had them for testing -- I, someone whose work requires the product we're selling to get my work done, couldn't get the device! We had to use FPGAs and older models to simulate the newer device. And when our director left, it wasn't someone who had been at the office for say 20 years that was then promoted -- nope, it was some kid that was had just graduated and came over from a consulting gig that was the new director. All because he was connected. Most execs were non-korean so they weren't even considered. I used to wonder why samsung tech sometimes felt like it was all over the place, like the camera hardware would be great on the S series but then the pictures would come inferior to the competition -- i.e. because of the processing pipeline. Now I wonder how anything gets shipped at all at that place.
As someone who works for a chaebol (outside of SK), sounds about right. Senior management doesn't consist of talent, rather it's people who have been appointed due to time served or some shady connection. There appears to be little sense or strategy in the decisions coming from management and also very little transparency. They're not problem solvers, just experts in ass covering and finger pointing. Corruption would explain a lot, but of course is almost impossible to prove.
You're on point. Many Asian and today even western countries and corporations are promoting and hiring based on connections instead of aptitude or capability. Koreans are also very dynastic. This is the reason that many corp entities will fall this decade.
When a company gets too big they start hiring people who don't care about the brand or customers (mostly c-level higher ups) that drive the company to the ground. These are the people responsible for unnecessary layoffs, poor business decisions, half baked features and buggy products, shady business practices..etc. These people usually just jump to the next company with a pay rise and 0 repercussions once the brand is ruined. These people should honestly be sued and jailed. Samsung is a unique case where their higher ups were so greedy, dodgy, deluded and dimwitted that they were ACTUALLY jailed, but mostly because of corruption and tax evasion. They could have easily walked away with bags of money like most c-levels.
Sued and jailed? Lol for what? Being shite at a job isn't a crime. The problem, as you describe, is systemic of ALL large corporations. They get too big and bloated and top heavy and all about profits for investors and management bonuses.
And even the government tried to ruin Samsung by jailing a CEO for no apparent reason. I will give a middle finger to the former president Moon Jae in, aka the Moon disaster.
Was talking to a Samsung semiconductor engineer who worked in Samsung for 20+ years and he told me the late Lee Goon Hee is very innovative and visionary. That's how he grew Samsung while his son Lee JY can just maintain Samsung if he does it right.
A little over two years ago I bought a Samsung SSD from a store here in Iceland. The drive had a two-year warranty from the store, but Samsung said it had a 5-year warranty. After a little over two years the drive suddenly failed and the store told me I had to contact Samsung to get the drive repaired. However, there is no way to contact them. They have all sorts of websites, email addresses, and phone numbers that don't work. They just don't want to be reached. Absolute jerks in my opinion.
i dont buy samsung stuff much anymore but I have Samsung SSDs myself so I REALLY hope they don't fail I was gifted these from a friend who sent them to me

Honestly, if Samsung could sell their Exynos chips in a way that don't insult every European and other global markets, it will sell. The problem with Exynos is Samsung tried to sell it off as a Snapdragon equivalent at exactly the same price, when in fact it isn't equal in performance. But despite that, Exynos is not a terrible chip, far from it. It is still a very well-performing flagship chip, just lagging a few percent behind the snapdragon. If only Samsung could release a special Exynos variant, and priced it like 50$ lower, I believe many will take it, because in the end of the day 99% of consumers won't notice such minimal difference in performance anyway. And for Samsung foundry, man, I feel bad for them. They are trying, but sadly the industry simply have no place for #2, and that's precisely what they are, the number 2. I wish them well, since if Samsung flopped, TSMC will have exactly 0 competitor left and that can't be good for the market.
Nobody would buy the "inferior" phone when side-by-side with the snap dragon variant, even if it performance is almost unnoticeable. It's a marketing issue. The problem is that the difference IS noticeable in power consumption and performance, so sneaking these chips in while promising snap dragon performance stains their reputation. Honestly they should've abandoned snap dragon entirely and focused on exynos, killing the other option entirely so there isn't a comparison to be made. Either that, or their chips should be very close in performance to the snap dragons so that it is truely unnoticeable.
that is literally not true - taiwan with it‘s tsmc produces almost all global high performance chips. All Apple devices use Chips from tsmc, all AMD chips are made there and also any snapdragon. Simply put, their products are so superior that no one wants to use something else - you wouldn’t buy a 10% worse pc at the same price.
Samsung is facing a challenging period, marked by multiple issues affecting its core business areas,this could negatively impact Samsung’s revenue growth and profit margins.

I am quite dissapointed with this video Cold Fusion. Samsung has done no more corporste scheming than any other mega corporation.. I would estimate it is lt less than Apple, Google or Boeing. Cold Fusion seems to have gotten all negative rumors from Samsung haters in Korea. For example, jail sentence for current Samsung CEO for lending a horse as a bribe. There was a lot of accusations but only charge that was presented to the court was a lending a horse to Olympic medalist whom happens to be a daughter of the then president. Is that a crime? The criminal CEO is let out of jail to accomoany the president who put CEO in the jail to North Korea and pressured Samsung CEO to build a factory in North Korea. Doesn't that seem more like a crime? North Korea was under a sanction by UN for developing and testing nuclear ballistic missiles. Also, comoare crimes of Samsung CEO to crimes committed by the leader of a political party that brought the charge to Samsung CEO. Thus politician is in multiple corruotion bribery indictments and sentencing now involving hundreds of millions of dollars similar to Hunter Biden case. Cold Fusion lost credibility in my view. Getting involved with dirty political infights in South Korea between pro-Nkrth Korea liberal party and pro America conservative oarty. Mud slinging Samsung, does nothing for global consumers and science.

I drove by the new $25 billion Samsung chip plant in Taylor Texas the other day. It's a huge plant, but with noticeably relatively little external activity apparent. The rumor is they have delayed production to 2026 due to insufficient yields of their 3 nm chip technology. Apparently, the Samsung R&D guys screwed up the recipe, and now TSMC is way out in front in the market, leaving Samsung behind trying to figure out what to do with the giant plant. Whatever the cause, Samsung now is reportedly at serious risk of losing $6.4 billion in grants and loans under the U.S. CHIPS Act, which would be a devastating financial blow. It's also a major blow to the politicians, who proposed all the subsidies to increase production of chips in the USA for national security.

TSMC took the gamble, and spent a billion Dollars working out how to etch semiconductors with UV light lithographs. It wasn't really proven technology, but TSMC managed to make it work. The upside is we now hove better than ever chips. The downside is now we can't let China invade Taiwan. Is WW3 worth your phone being a microsecond faster? Personally I couldn't care less.

Samsung not using its own Exynos chips in its high end devices is pretty devastating when you look at what Apple has achieved with its A and M series chips. And they even lost manufacturing chips for Qualcomm to TSMC.
Every single benchmark and comparison in youtube comes out at the same conclusion, their exynos are inferior in raw power and they overheat. They are only superior in battery management, which only shines in middle range phone, where top performance is not expected.
@@fajaradi1223 Intel didn't lose anything in the race to 1nm. Intel HW is still what most people prefer on small scales. On large scales 3 of the 7 most powerful supercomputers are still using Intel chips at the moment with 1 of the top 7 using IBM CPUs, according to Live Science. AMD and Nvidia don't make their own chips they design them and sublet manufacturing to chip fabricators like TSMC. It isn't clear if IBM still makes their own processors. Intel makes their own processors even today. Samsung's chips aren't the best but they are hardly what I would consider weak even in the mobile space. That said, I prefer Qualcomm's faster chips.
My largest problem with them is they decided to follow Apple's example with their phones. The last one that didn't start removing features was the Note 9, which I still use because I can't upgrade without giving up features I like.
I naively bought a Samsung French refrigerator that the ice maker never worked right. Then bought a front load washing machine a few years later. It died 2 years after - right after the warranty expired. Never buy an appliance from them again.

He treated it as a standard, never liked Samsung, so much so that all appliances at home are LG but the TV(Samsung) which i insisted but i regretted later. I miss magic mouse LG so bad. Ps. I have been using Samsung phones since s7, love their displays and phones.
I think most things these days aren't made to last for long. I've found that air fryers, regardless of brand, don't last all that long. A few haven't even survived their 1 year warranty. Samsung does have a reputation for poor quality whitegoods, and that's especially true for fridges with ice makers. That said, I have a Samsung branded front loading washing machine that's worked for years trouble free. The LG top loader I had before that was always a problem. There are a few RUclips channels that tear down electronic equipment and provide advice on what is likely to fail first. According to the videos I've seen, just avoid fridges with built in ice makers from any brand. My understanding is that Samsung do make some nice fridges, but it's only a few of the Bespoke models. Everything else is ewaste waiting to happen.

Purely anecdotal but back in 2017 I was a manager that oversaw appliance sales and let me tell you LG and Samsung had the highest less than 1 year failure rate, normally attribute to some failure on the system motherboard.

You do a great job narrating these. I imagine you sitting with a script and reading through it again and again. Your final versions never have any hint of fatigue or repetition. Very well done.
The one thing you missed in your arguments is that TSMC has build up a very good and productive relation with ASML, whereas the Korean basically try to fight ASML all the way. That makes it more understandable why TSMC is able to build better chips, while Samsung is loosing that ability. ASML coworkers love to go to TSMC, and hate, or even refuse , to go to Samsung.

And to have a 17yr old SHARP plasma flat screen in my kids room working just as the day I bought it all them years ago. Says a lot.
At 7:19 you mention that SK Hynix is the exclusive vendor of HBM3E memory to NVIDIA, but Micron also sells HBM3E to NVIDIA. This means that while South Korea is currently the leader, they have serious American competition.
Micron's tech is slightly better but they simply do not have the volume capacity right now. When their fabs in Boise and Clay ramp up you could be right.
Called them over a known defect in one of their netbooks years back which I was experiencing. The CS person said "Samsung makes a quality product" then heard the dial tone. Not inclined to by any Samsung product ever again and haven't.
i bought a samsung tv back in 2020; apparently this model has a widespread lcd defect and started showing dead lines/an aggressive backlight flicker about a year ago. the warranty only lasts a year apparently, and I haven't seen anything about a recall, repair, or otherwise refund 😭 would not buy another samsung tv after this
@@cartanfan-youtube I was asked to repair a Samsung TV for a friend of mine. It had an LCD defect just like yours. There are so many forum posts about them failing. It's terrible really. Why would I spend £700 on a Samsung TV when I can buy a slightly worse looking but equally functional Toshiba one for £189 on Black Friday? They'll both break down in 3 years anyway.
Never got a Samsung phone because all my friends had them (circa 2018) and all of them suffered from the apparition of a sudden green or pink line in their LCD. All of them were told at the repair shops that their screens were fried due to a extreme rise in the battery temperature. All those phone were less than 6 months old and the guarantee just didn't rven answered so, no, I won't waste my money on that
It’s interesting… Samsung Electronics hardware has quite a good reputation - the SSD’s, the phones, and so on - but the appliances I would not trust over say Bosch or Miele.
It still makes a high profit. Sure there are some issues... but it's nowhere near Intel's scenario for example. This company is still solid, financially stable and still has a strong business going.
Omg I didn’t realise that it has already been 10 years since that Samsung video. Congrats on making it this far and looking forward to seeing more content on the channel !
I have the Renault Latitude or the Samsung SM5 and it's pretty decent. Interior has held up after 12 years, no mechanical or electrical faults either. Has GPS, heated seats, bt/Aux, Sunroof, keyless entry and start/stop. No physical metal keys at all, just a credit card sized fob that you can stick in your wallet and leave it there. BTW the car is made in Korea and shipped over to Australia as a Renault. It has the typical smooth and soft ride of French cars so turns out Samsung can build a better French car than the French itself😂😂. The engine is a Renault and Mercedes collab, code is OM669.
If I remember correctly, the reason Samsung rebadged Renaults in Korea has to do with former CEO Lee KunHee's love for cars and perhaps little else. I lived in Seoul for a long time and drove a rental Samsung on Jeju. The car was fine for the few days I had it.
By forcing China to become self-reliant (by force), these turmoils are just the beginning. China, not only having a billion plus people, also sells to almost the entire world. Forcing them to be autonomous is the worst move imaginable.
Is it? China is between 5-10 years behind in the production of advanced chips and on their own, the Chinese do not seem to be able to close this gap in the foreseeable future.
@@elkanaajowi9093 Just because they have to does not mean they are able to. China is an incredibly authoritarian state in which many other factors come into play as well. And so far, the Chinese have not stood out with grounbreaking innovations. And they often want to save the costs for research and development and therefore often try to steal or copy technologies from other countries. There are countless examples of this.
Easy answer, the stock market is a complete hype pump and dump right now. There is no reason at all in a sane world for Tesla to be valued more than Samsung no matter how much you might like Tesla. Samsung produces FAR FAR more products than Tesla yet by pure magic Tesla is still being hyped to no end. Samsung PE ratio is 11.6 vs Tesla PE ratio of 176. The world is just completely out of wack.
I don't know anything about the stock market but i feel like if you mention "AI" anywhere people dump money into it hoping (and I do mean) hoping for a return. its really weird knowing tesla is valued more than samsung. wondering if elon rigged it somehow

Literally the whole smartphone market. We've hit a plateau in terms of advancement. More and more people are realising that especially in this economy buying 1k+ phones is making less and less sense. That's why the Chinese are making bank. They saw it ahead of time. And are offering cheaper phones that do almost the exact same.
Samsung’s crisis is a wake-up call for investors like me-diversification is key. While stocks falter, Bitcoin’s recent rise and the buzz around ETFs are hard to ignore. Might be time to hedge with some crypto while waiting for the market to stabilize.
I agree. Even with great opportunities, we should proceed cautiously. Seeking market analysis or advice from certified market strategists is important.
Absolutely, having a solid plan is crucial. My portfolio has doubled since early last year. My financial advisor and I are working towards a seven-figure goal, though it might take until Q3 2024.

This came at a time when my 700 dollar Samsung microwave stopped working within a year, the key pad stopped working and the only fix is replacing the entire door (since the key pad is integrated with the door assembly). Never again.
Samsung appliances have 1.1 stars on every major customer support satisfaction survey. Your microwave not working has nothing to do with this, it’s because they have ALWAYS preyed on uneducated buyers.

Samsung is undervalued. If it was an American company it would’ve been compared to the magnificent 7s. Their phone sector is second behind Apple, best display, best nand flash, dram, ssd, and best battery in the world. They should worth around 1tillion dollars at least.
Samsung is responsible for not being properly valued. They do not trade in the US market which is by far the largest and most fair market in the world. Their stock trades in South Korea (makes sense) and Frankfurt (totally weird). My suspicion is that they don't want to follow the strict reporting requirements of the US market, so they abstain. Result is a lower price for their stock, but it's their own fault.
Full circle, mate! I was introduced to your channel years ago when you released your "How big is Samsung"-video, and which implied there was no limit to Samsung and its innovation and business. And here we are, with Samsung now facing a 122 billion dollar crisis.
Just bought a Samsung Fridge & Washer… basically sold out had to struggle to get a hold of em , also delayed delivery’s for new orders till the end of the year …. They are just fine
So let me get this straight.... Because you had a hard time buying 1 fridge and washer 🤔 the company that just LOST $122,000,000,000 worth of stock value will 'be fine'. Someone get Wall Street on the line 😵💫
you make a good point about the functional parts of companies being intertwined with the shortcomings of financial competitiveness. It makes me think of the US businesses/manufacturing locations that would shutter not because they weren't profitable, but because the board members saw fatter profits doing things elsewhere. From a community and consumer perspective a company losing money that provides employment and goods is beneficial. From a business perspective it's best to throw employees to the wolves, stop producing, and scrap assets for cash
The stock market naturally fluctuates, rising and falling over time. It’s unrealistic to expect its value to rise continuously without corrections. For instance, Samsung's stock value was nearly 90,000 KRW in 2021 but dropped by 50% the following year. By 2024, it reached a second peak, only to halve again within the same year. The same applies to Tesla, so there’s no need to panic. As economy grows, big companies like Saumsung will also grow but not without fluctuations in the market price.

I used to be more of a Samsung gadget guy(TV's, tablets, SSD, memory cards, smartphones, etc.) but more recently it has not been as much. For example, the Samsung smart TVs, have an Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) feature that is enabled by default that uploads a screenshot every so many seconds to see what you're watching. This is not legal in South Korea on top of that. ACR also applies to LG, Roku, and Vizio by the way. To be safe, I disconnected it from the network (just to make sure) it's not uploading data but now my TV pops up with a message that it's not connected to the network randomly and its annoying. Amazon and Google TV's are two brands that do not use ACR.
Samsung owns Everland Resort & Amusement Park too & their Panda World brings so much profits from Panda Bao Family's merchandise, cafe, endoresments, pop-up stores & more.
While Samsung has been investing in AI and ML for years, they've taken a different approach from companies like Google or OpenAI. Instead of focusing primarily on large language models, they've concentrated on practical AI applications for their devices and components. They have the technical capability, data centers, and chip manufacturing ability to develop AI solutions, and aren't restricted by U.S. chip regulations since they're a South Korean company and a major chip manufacturer themselves. Their more recent moves, like the introduction of Samsung Gauss, show they're also moving into the LLM space.
"Instead of focusing primarily on large language models, they've concentrated on practical AI applications for their devices and components." Wow, this is reason to be bullish on Samsung.
Not too long ago they were making around 11 billion, so the decline has been very concerning. But most importantly their primary competitor Apple over the past 4 years has made a per year profit of over 95 billion. By doing this Apple can spend lavish amounts on R&D (31 billion last year) while Samsung can't afford to do so. The investment in R&D is where the innovation comes from. Tech companies either innovate or cease to exist.
@@bruxi78230 but Samsung has been innovating by copying apples horrible practices like removing headphone jack, charger brick , copying designs, how did these not work?

I was a full-time corporate employee at Samsung Electronics of America, in Orange County, CA.
I LOVED that job, I loved my co-workers, the higher ups I was interacting with. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had, a true dream job.
Come Sept. 27, 2024, they laid of 30% of us, it was a dark day.
They kept the contractors though.
I'm still trying to find another job since the lay offs.
EDIT: For those asking, I was in Data Analytics and saw where the company was losing money. I was not a DEI hire.
TBH, someone from R&D and Innovation needs to be CEO instead of the accounting dept. calling the shots.

I worked for another one of Korea's chaebols which was very similar to Samsung, in fact many of the people went back and forth between this company and Samsung. They often hired only Korean and especially family members of current employees. I saw engineer teams completely miss obvious flaws in chips and product designs and if you pointed it out to them and you were not Korean they would flip out and get really angry. Many of the Korean managers wouldn't even talk to their non-Korean staff that were technically their employees, they would hire in an intern or some type of assistant (usually Korean female) and they would handle communication and instruction to non-Korean workers. Even though they were a tech company the people working there weren't very big into tech or the products they were selling. To this day I still wonder how these companies have been so successful, I guess this happens at many big companies but......
They have HIGH protection barriers in South Korea, VERY high.

Same here in Mexico and yet they expect us to pay the same premium prices. I switched to oneplus and haven't missed Samsung at all.
@@SuperMerlot I also ditched Samsung. The truth is that all smartphones are basically the same now anyway. They keep trying to convince us we need to buy the latest model because it has a faster this or better that but many of us don't even use the features we have at the moment.

Some of said SKU's don't support the bands of major 4G/5G NZ networks in NZ fyi, it's a pain to sell them retail given they might not operate on certain providers and customers don't understand that or know how to research it themselves.
Same here in India. Not sure about the latest Exynos chips but some of the older ones had major heating and connectivity issues. I don't care about a little performance loss but these kinds of issues are a showstopper. Especially if I'm shelling out the big bucks for a S-series phone.

Samsung just got complacent. They used to be at the cutting edge and usually brought new features to phones years before companies like Apple. They had LG nipping at their heels, though. Eversince LG Mobile went bust, they started modeling their strategy after Apple. The problem with that is that unlike Apple, they dont have a cult. Chinese brands are the ones pushing innovation forward now.
Complacency is what's killing everything nowadays.
No one's trying to compete so they're all stagnating, rotting away, making crappier products and charging more for it.
This is why competition is healthy, it forces these bastards to innovate and come up with new ways to bring people to them.
All these companies are addicted to the high price tags, but they have little new to offer.
Apple understood that consumer tech would start to plateau, and so they took their time to perfect everything instead of trying to differentiate themselves as having done it first. Now it has reached that plateau, and Apple is still able to sell "new" features. None of the features we use/want really needed to be rushed into our hands, and Apple got that. But you are right about the cult part, and because of that Apple doesn't really compete against the brands making phones that run Android.

Theres a broader issue here in Korea which is the fact that the stock market is heavily skewed towards corporations instead of stock holders so Korean ppl themselves don’t want to invest in these mega corporations with huge influence over politicians anymore since the gov provides very little protection for investors.

If they had never created Bixby and weren't so invasive with their software, then they would probably be doing better. Being a bit behind in technology isn't that big of a deal when your customers feel more comfortable (in general) using your products because they have a guarantee that you won't be taking liberties with the products that they already paid for.
But unfortunately, Samsung took many MANY liberties that no one asked for, and they lost a lot of faith, confidence, and trust because of that.
I could care less if they were up-to-date with AI technology etc. just as long as the product that I paid for was overall convenient, comfortable, and DIDN'T install extra apps that I DID NOT ASK FOR.
Also, making Bixby (along with their other Samsung-specific apps) difficult to disable, uninstall, etc. having to go through a multi-step process (or just straight up unavailable to get rid of) was a sign that they didn't care about what their customers wanted. Samsung ONLY cares about what Samsung wants.
You are talking about DX teams. That is a smaller part of Samsung Electronics compared to memories and chips, DS. They made a massive blunder by stopping Samsung cloud development. Everything went downhill post that as this stopped AI groups, chip manufacturing groups, and storage groups from advancing their research that was focused on AI based products. Samsung Electronics makes way more money in memories, storage, and chip sales.
I remember an old Samsung phone of mine can't be used anymore not because of electronic problem, but because I can't delete lots of Samsung enforced apps and as time goes by it run out of storage capacity and I can't use it properly.

All because he was connected. Most execs were non-korean so they weren't even considered. I used to wonder why samsung tech sometimes felt like it was all over the place, like the camera hardware would be great on the S series but then the pictures would come inferior to the competition -- i.e. because of the processing pipeline. Now I wonder how anything gets shipped at all at that place.
Interesting
where did this happened?
As someone who works for a chaebol (outside of SK), sounds about right. Senior management doesn't consist of talent, rather it's people who have been appointed due to time served or some shady connection. There appears to be little sense or strategy in the decisions coming from management and also very little transparency. They're not problem solvers, just experts in ass covering and finger pointing. Corruption would explain a lot, but of course is almost impossible to prove.
This is exactly what happens. I have had to use my own personal devices for testing, which isn't a great idea to begin with.
You're on point. Many Asian and today even western countries and corporations are promoting and hiring based on connections instead of aptitude or capability. Koreans are also very dynastic. This is the reason that many corp entities will fall this decade.
When a company gets too big they start hiring people who don't care about the brand or customers (mostly c-level higher ups) that drive the company to the ground. These are the people responsible for unnecessary layoffs, poor business decisions, half baked features and buggy products, shady business practices..etc. These people usually just jump to the next company with a pay rise and 0 repercussions once the brand is ruined. These people should honestly be sued and jailed.
Samsung is a unique case where their higher ups were so greedy, dodgy, deluded and dimwitted that they were ACTUALLY jailed, but mostly because of corruption and tax evasion. They could have easily walked away with bags of money like most c-levels.
Does those company care for it's employees?
No
Goes both ways
If u cannot manage that balance don't do business
Sued and jailed? Lol for what? Being shite at a job isn't a crime.
The problem, as you describe, is systemic of ALL large corporations. They get too big and bloated and top heavy and all about profits for investors and management bonuses.
And even the government tried to ruin Samsung by jailing a CEO for no apparent reason. I will give a middle finger to the former president Moon Jae in, aka the Moon disaster.
Sounds like the fall of the Roman empire.
Upper management blaming those below them for their bad decisions is usually the start of decay
Was talking to a Samsung semiconductor engineer who worked in Samsung for 20+ years and he told me the late Lee Goon Hee is very innovative and visionary. That's how he grew Samsung while his son Lee JY can just maintain Samsung if he does it right.
A little over two years ago I bought a Samsung SSD from a store here in Iceland. The drive had a two-year warranty from the store, but Samsung said it had a 5-year warranty. After a little over two years the drive suddenly failed and the store told me I had to contact Samsung to get the drive repaired. However, there is no way to contact them. They have all sorts of websites, email addresses, and phone numbers that don't work. They just don't want to be reached.
Absolute jerks in my opinion.

Honestly, if Samsung could sell their Exynos chips in a way that don't insult every European and other global markets, it will sell. The problem with Exynos is Samsung tried to sell it off as a Snapdragon equivalent at exactly the same price, when in fact it isn't equal in performance. But despite that, Exynos is not a terrible chip, far from it. It is still a very well-performing flagship chip, just lagging a few percent behind the snapdragon. If only Samsung could release a special Exynos variant, and priced it like 50$ lower, I believe many will take it, because in the end of the day 99% of consumers won't notice such minimal difference in performance anyway.
And for Samsung foundry, man, I feel bad for them. They are trying, but sadly the industry simply have no place for #2, and that's precisely what they are, the number 2. I wish them well, since if Samsung flopped, TSMC will have exactly 0 competitor left and that can't be good for the market.
Good in what way?
Nobody would buy the "inferior" phone when side-by-side with the snap dragon variant, even if it performance is almost unnoticeable. It's a marketing issue. The problem is that the difference IS noticeable in power consumption and performance, so sneaking these chips in while promising snap dragon performance stains their reputation. Honestly they should've abandoned snap dragon entirely and focused on exynos, killing the other option entirely so there isn't a comparison to be made. Either that, or their chips should be very close in performance to the snap dragons so that it is truely unnoticeable.
@@amk1108they can't. To sell in America, they must use US made chips. Their hands are tied

that is literally not true - taiwan with it‘s tsmc produces almost all global high performance chips. All Apple devices use Chips from tsmc, all AMD chips are made there and also any snapdragon.

Samsung has done no more corporste scheming than any other mega corporation.. I would estimate it is lt less than Apple, Google or Boeing.
Cold Fusion seems to have gotten all negative rumors from Samsung haters in Korea.
For example, jail sentence for current Samsung CEO for lending a horse as a bribe. There was a lot of accusations but only charge that was presented to the court was a lending a horse to Olympic medalist whom happens to be a daughter of the then president. Is that a crime?
The criminal CEO is let out of jail to accomoany the president who put CEO in the jail to North Korea and pressured Samsung CEO to build a factory in North Korea. Doesn't that seem more like a crime? North Korea was under a sanction by UN for developing and testing nuclear ballistic missiles.
Also, comoare crimes of Samsung CEO to crimes committed by the leader of a political party that brought the charge to Samsung CEO. Thus politician is in multiple corruotion bribery indictments and sentencing now involving hundreds of millions of dollars similar to Hunter Biden case.
Cold Fusion lost credibility in my view. Getting involved with dirty political infights in South Korea between pro-Nkrth Korea liberal party and pro America conservative oarty. Mud slinging Samsung, does nothing for global consumers and science.

I drove by the new $25 billion Samsung chip plant in Taylor Texas the other day. It's a huge plant, but with noticeably relatively little external activity apparent. The rumor is they have delayed production to 2026 due to insufficient yields of their 3 nm chip technology. Apparently, the Samsung R&D guys screwed up the recipe, and now TSMC is way out in front in the market, leaving Samsung behind trying to figure out what to do with the giant plant. Whatever the cause, Samsung now is reportedly at serious risk of losing $6.4 billion in grants and loans under the U.S. CHIPS Act, which would be a devastating financial blow. It's also a major blow to the politicians, who proposed all the subsidies to increase production of chips in the USA for national security.

Samsung not using its own Exynos chips in its high end devices is pretty devastating when you look at what Apple has achieved with its A and M series chips. And they even lost manufacturing chips for Qualcomm to TSMC.
They've lost the lytography war. Tho, they're not the only one. Intel is the biggest loser on lytography war against TSMC.
Every single benchmark and comparison in youtube comes out at the same conclusion, their exynos are inferior in raw power and they overheat. They are only superior in battery management, which only shines in middle range phone, where top performance is not expected.
Samsung doesn't know how to make Chips like TSMC. They heat more and inferior.
@@fajaradi1223
Intel didn't lose anything in the race to 1nm. Intel HW is still what most people prefer on small scales. On large scales 3 of the 7 most powerful supercomputers are still using Intel chips at the moment with 1 of the top 7 using IBM CPUs, according to Live Science. AMD and Nvidia don't make their own chips they design them and sublet manufacturing to chip fabricators like TSMC. It isn't clear if IBM still makes their own processors. Intel makes their own processors even today. Samsung's chips aren't the best but they are hardly what I would consider weak even in the mobile space. That said, I prefer Qualcomm's faster chips.

I naively bought a Samsung French refrigerator that the ice maker never worked right. Then bought a front load washing machine a few years later. It died 2 years after - right after the warranty expired. Never buy an appliance from them again.
Same here, I bought whitegoods from them in the belief that they were good - they all pooped themselves around 3 to 5 years after buying.
LG all the way.They just keep working they die due to poor maintenance. I've always wondered why my dad loved LG. He treated it as a standard, never liked Samsung, so much so that all appliances at home are LG but the TV(Samsung) which i insisted but i regretted later. I miss magic mouse LG so bad.
Ps. I have been using Samsung phones since s7, love their displays and phones.
LG is better for appliances. But I stick to Panasonic for reliability.
I think most things these days aren't made to last for long. I've found that air fryers, regardless of brand, don't last all that long. A few haven't even survived their 1 year warranty. Samsung does have a reputation for poor quality whitegoods, and that's especially true for fridges with ice makers. That said, I have a Samsung branded front loading washing machine that's worked for years trouble free. The LG top loader I had before that was always a problem.
There are a few RUclips channels that tear down electronic equipment and provide advice on what is likely to fail first. According to the videos I've seen, just avoid fridges with built in ice makers from any brand. My understanding is that Samsung do make some nice fridges, but it's only a few of the Bespoke models.

Its honestly a little surprising to see Samsung this way in some areas of the world.
Purely anecdotal but back in 2017 I was a manager that oversaw appliance sales and let me tell you LG and Samsung had the highest less than 1 year failure rate, normally attribute to some failure on the system motherboard.
The reputation for them back then, being in the US that is, was often brought up during that time. I can only imagine its gotten worse since then. If the Galaxy hadn't been the hit it was Samsung would probably be in a fairly dire situation already. I can't speak of what is going on behind the scenes but the company somehow feels stagnate and they have way too many fingers in too many pies.

ge is garbage now too friend. i would definately shop more. its like they are carteling to have crappy items on the market
@@notavailable.000 I specifically said “old school” General Electric
I pick LG over Samsung, My Samsung TV have issues after 2 years, went back to LG again, now washing machine and refrigerator are LG for over ten years, washing machines only need to change ball bearing after 8 years busy family use.
I've had my roper washing machine and dryer for about 40 years now. Still work great.
I hope their phone division continues to do well. It's really only Apple, Google, and Samsung that do phone updates properly. While Samsung mid-range phones don't get security updates every month getting them reliably every 3 months is o.k.
I'm a fan of Samsung devices because of Dex. As long as Dex is being worked on, I'll be buying only Samsung.
Their phones prices are out of control for the amount of stagnant features that are offered.
Same as apple
@@heymukedit56but apple will always be an expensive phone company cuz it was their selling poing but not Samsung.they make very mediocre phones which can be achieved in400$ other android phones.
Literally the whole smartphone market. We've hit a plateau in terms of advancement. More and more people are realising that especially in this economy buying 1k+ phones is making less and less sense.
That's why the Chinese are making bank. They saw it ahead of time. And are offering cheaper phones that do almost the exact same.
@gcc2313 That applies to the top end as well. Their batteries and cameras are on another level.
The removal of features like headphone jack and expandable sdcard is why i don't buy samsung anymore.
Billions and Billions and Billions!

Samsung’s crisis is a wake-up call for investors like me-diversification is key. While stocks falter, Bitcoin’s recent rise and the buzz around ETFs are hard to ignore. Might be time to hedge with some crypto while waiting for the market to stabilize.
I agree. Even with great opportunities, we should proceed cautiously. Seeking market analysis or advice from certified market strategists is important.
Absolutely, having a solid plan is crucial. My portfolio has doubled since early last year. My financial advisor and I are working towards a seven-figure goal, though it might take until Q3 2024.
Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve my financial goals.
Thanks for sharing. I searched for her name and found her website. I reviewed her credentials and did my research before contacting her. Thanks again.

Going into a global economic crisis that's going to make 2008 look mild by comparison, it won't just be Samsung. It'll be the vast majority of companies that will have a hard time just surviving the next 5-6 years.
Maybe the next 5 to 6 months at this rate. UK (where I’m from, unfortunately) is about to collapse within 6 months.
@@jamesdarby6149 UK has been collapsing for the last 6 decades my friend. Only because of the recent crisis's are people starting to wake up to this fact. Signs were there.

Trump will lower your grocery bills on his very first day in office. By this third day the market will be up so high you will get a raise. Trump is going to make us all rich. He has a plan, Musk will be helping him. They have years of experience in reality TV and propaganda media, so they both know how important the truth is.
This came at a time when my 700 dollar Samsung microwave stopped working within a year, the key pad stopped working and the only fix is replacing the entire door (since the key pad is integrated with the door assembly). Never again.
Samsung appliances have 1.1 stars on every major customer support satisfaction survey.
Your microwave not working has nothing to do with this, it’s because they have ALWAYS preyed on uneducated buyers.
I don't like high tech stuff because that's usually how repairs go...
look man I spend more money than I should on tech, but what exactly does (or maybe doesn't is the better question) that $700 microwave do?!
Yup their appliances are pure garbage with engineered obsolescence.
@@chuck7415He probably got fleeced into thinking he needed some IoT BS or something. It's a microwave. You don't need a $700 microwave.
It’s not just Samsung, the entire Korean economy is about to be kicked back into the Stone Age by its competitors, as they don’t really have any competitive edge on anything
Also doesn't help that they are still making and selling the exact same things they were ten years ago. They have not succeeded at making any new cash cows.
They think that k-pop is enough to shine. Completely delusional.
@@JeezVince good point.
They lost market cap not money. The business is doing fine, they're just behind the curve on AI and the market reacted appropriately. Nbd
they are playing it safe at the moment and frankly at the moment there is no product that makes anyone go WOW. on a separate note, you look like you are eavesdropping on a juicy gossip in that picture
still their size is reducing, phones sells are also in the decline.
@@johanalejandrocazadordepin7225 They're making huge profits, more than entire GDP of several countries. They're gonna be fine for a long time
Do someone care about AI?
@@fenrirgg the investors care it seems. After all, market cap comes from stocks. But I also think AI wont generate enough money for their investments.

At 9:51 you narrate Samsung turned in a meagre "11%" yet onscreen you highlight a 13% value. Your rounded numbers also add up to 101 for Q1 2024.
@5:11 ...when Samsung staff is using iPads with magic keyboards you know something is going in the wrong direction.....
That maybe stock images
It’s not an Apple product is Samsung product.
Samsung is undervalued. If it was an American company it would’ve been compared to the magnificent 7s. Their phone sector is second behind Apple, best display, best nand flash, dram, ssd, and best battery in the world. They should worth around 1tillion dollars at least.
In no way ss battery is the best
Samsung is responsible for not being properly valued. They do not trade in the US market which is by far the largest and most fair market in the world. Their stock trades in South Korea (makes sense) and Frankfurt (totally weird). My suspicion is that they don't want to follow the strict reporting requirements of the US market, so they abstain. Result is a lower price for their stock, but it's their own fault.
Never thought of it like that, makes sense why they not in the U.S. This also tags along with the family part of it as well@@bruxi78230

Samsung employee comment
Full circle, mate! I was introduced to your channel years ago when you released your "How big is Samsung"-video, and which implied there was no limit to Samsung and its innovation and business. And here we are, with Samsung now facing a 122 billion dollar crisis.
Just bought a Samsung Fridge & Washer… basically sold out had to struggle to get a hold of em , also delayed delivery’s for new orders till the end of the year …. They are just fine
So let me get this straight.... Because you had a hard time buying 1 fridge and washer 🤔 the company that just LOST $122,000,000,000 worth of stock value will 'be fine'. Someone get Wall Street on the line 😵💫
@ I was being a little Ironic
@@ICorro007 had me goin, too . . but now I'm with ya. I like it. Sense of humor. 🤗
@steverl22 trust me bro samsung ain't going anywhere they're doing just fine companies have peaks and troughs all the time
you make a good point about the functional parts of companies being intertwined with the shortcomings of financial competitiveness. It makes me think of the US businesses/manufacturing locations that would shutter not because they weren't profitable, but because the board members saw fatter profits doing things elsewhere. From a community and consumer perspective a company losing money that provides employment and goods is beneficial. From a business perspective it's best to throw employees to the wolves, stop producing, and scrap assets for cash
Even if AI doesn't become a miracle. Everyone needs high-quality chips.
yes exactly . As someone working in the chip domain, majority of population don't understand how important semiconductor is for the future
At 8:44 the competition is called „Snapdragons Qualcomm Chip“ shouldn’t it be „Qualcomms Snapdragon Chip“?
iPhone Apple 16 Pro
The stock market naturally fluctuates, rising and falling over time. It’s unrealistic to expect its value to rise continuously without corrections. For instance, Samsung's stock value was nearly 90,000 KRW in 2021 but dropped by 50% the following year. By 2024, it reached a second peak, only to halve again within the same year. The same applies to Tesla, so there’s no need to panic. As economy grows, big companies like Saumsung will also grow but not without fluctuations in the market price.
08:27 'The chip conundrum' - SOC's IT DOESN'T HELP when PREMIUM S model phones with POOR Exynos SOCs are FORCED upon UK/Europe markets where the US GET the BETTER Snapdragon SOCs! It basically P!SSES off customers! 🤨😡 😎🇬🇧.
Stop with the copium.
Exynos SoCs in Samsung are the way to go, better software-hardware integration, software support and rotting possibilties.
They over diversified and over stretched. Getting crushed by TSMC is just natural course.
I used to be more of a Samsung gadget guy(TV's, tablets, SSD, memory cards, smartphones, etc.) but more recently it has not been as much. For example, the Samsung smart TVs, have an Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) feature that is enabled by default that uploads a screenshot every so many seconds to see what you're watching. This is not legal in South Korea on top of that. ACR also applies to LG, Roku, and Vizio by the way. To be safe, I disconnected it from the network (just to make sure) it's not uploading data but now my TV pops up with a message that it's not connected to the network randomly and its annoying. Amazon and Google TV's are two brands that do not use ACR.
Google for sure use ACR, 😂
Samsung owns Everland Resort & Amusement Park too & their Panda World brings so much profits from Panda Bao Family's merchandise, cafe, endoresments, pop-up stores & more.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
While Samsung has been investing in AI and ML for years, they've taken a different approach from companies like Google or OpenAI.
Instead of focusing primarily on large language models, they've concentrated on practical AI applications for their devices and components.
They have the technical capability, data centers, and chip manufacturing ability to develop AI solutions, and aren't restricted by U.S. chip regulations since they're a South Korean company and a major chip manufacturer themselves. Their more recent moves, like the introduction of Samsung Gauss, show they're also moving into the LLM space.
"Instead of focusing primarily on large language models, they've concentrated on practical AI applications for their devices and components."
Wow, this is reason to be bullish on Samsung.
"they have concentrated on practical AI applications"
Which is ??
7:38 - we're sorry for ONLY making $6.78 billion instead of the $7.68 we expected, guys. 😂
Not too long ago they were making around 11 billion, so the decline has been very concerning. But most importantly their primary competitor Apple over the past 4 years has made a per year profit of over 95 billion. By doing this Apple can spend lavish amounts on R&D (31 billion last year) while Samsung can't afford to do so. The investment in R&D is where the innovation comes from. Tech companies either innovate or cease to exist.
@@bruxi78230 but Samsung has been innovating by copying apples horrible practices like removing headphone jack, charger brick , copying designs, how did these not work?
Screen cracked on my s23 ultra after falling less than a foot to the floor of my semi. The corner caught the shifter bezel which is also plastic. It literally slid off my seat and just kinda slowly dropped down. They want $450 for a new screen plus install cost. What a complete joke.
Repairing mobile phones is more profitable than selling them.
If the screen is too solid, it is difficult for Samsung to make more profits.
Best news I've heard all year. Finally getting what they deserve. They've taken huge dumps all over their customers. Me included. Sold all mine and tell everyone never buy their products.
아니 이거 한국 내에서만 얘기 돌던건데 외국 유튜버까지 얘기 꺼낼정도면 레알 줫망했다는거잖아ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
