The most unexpected thing in the industry is that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series was released so late this year, although the overseas debut Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 mobile platform is still Samsung. However, everyone has thought that there are no current Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 platform models domestically, and there will be a blowout phenomenon after watching.
What is even more surprising is that the news from overseas whistleblowers is that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series seems to be officially released on February 9, but the release time of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is different. Among them, the Samsung S22 Ultra will start shipping to users on February 25, and the Samsung S22 and Samsung S22+ will start shipping to users on March 11. See? Although the Samsung Galaxy S22 series was released at the scheduled time, the delivery time was delayed for a long time. He said this was due to Samsung's chaotic supply chain management.
The question now is why Samsung can produce mobile phones without relying on the supply chain itself, why is it affected by components?
For example, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 mobile platform itself is Samsung Semiconductor OEM, and the screens, camera sensors, etc. of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series are all products of Samsung's own home. Not to mention that Samsung also produces its own memory chips and batteries. In all the core components of the smartphone, Samsung can be self-sufficient, so what is the problem that makes Samsung suffer from the influence of components? Even his most dominant flagship of the year was delayed because of the management of the supply chain.
Therefore, Samsung's current problems are either internal problems, or as the whistleblowers say, the never-ending supply chain management chaos. This is not good news for Samsung, after all, last year, due to the lack of cake, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was delayed for nearly half a year before it was released, and it has missed the best golden sales period. Therefore, reorganizing the supply chain, including internal management, is the most important task for Samsung at present.
