There is no question that J.K Shin’s job might be riding on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung lost a considerable amount of market share to rival Apple when they finally released an iPhone with a respectable display size. Now Shin is confident that the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will take back that market share and boost Samsung’s stock price.
He said, “I’m confident that the Galaxy S6 Edge is a product that showcases Samsung’s innovation in the smartphone manufacturing industry. The Galaxy S6 and Edge will achieve a considerable market share in the high-end handset segment.”
Investors were already pleased as the stock price went up 4.86% the day after the big unveiling.
Shin also had a few comments regarding the whole Qualcomm debacle. If you remember, Samsung ditched the Snapdragon 810 in favor of their own Exynos processor for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Shin said, “If Qualcomm chips are good enough, then we will use them.” In other words, the 810 wasn’t good enough and the Exynos chipset was. He also said their partnership with Qualcomm remains strong despite going in a different direction.
