Samsung Electronics said Thursday on its conference call for 2026 first-quarter results that it expects the smartphone market to see lower shipments in the second half as component prices rise, but revenue to increase as sales shift toward higher-end premium models.
For tablets, the company forecast declines in both unit volume and revenue, citing cost pressures and reduced promotions. For notebooks and PCs, it said revenue is expected to grow on higher average selling prices, while shipments are likely to fall.
Samsung said it will pursue flagship-led growth by strengthening AI features and advancing form-factor innovation. For foldables, it said it will further refine product development to meet a wider range of user needs.
