Samsung recently shared its smartphone shipment forecast with a number of suppliers, who very prompted spilled this news all over the internet.
According to Korean publication The Elec, Samsung plans to improve its market share by two percentage points in 2022, rising to 21.9 per cent.

Adding to this strong start to 2022, the company will launch the M Series in India, Russia, and other emerging markets.
Samsung is expecting the overall smartphone market to grow 7 per cent, to 1.5 billion shipments in 2022, fuelled by what it calls “revenge spending”, with those consumers that were wary during the pandemic finally replacing their earlier model phones.
