The 800 million offensive: the move that changes the balance of power in the AI market?
Tech giants are not stopping, and the battle for control of artificial intelligence is escalating through a strategic collaboration that establishes facts on the ground.
If you wondered how Google's Gemini is rapidly conquering the market, here's part of the method
A massive collaboration between Google and Samsung is embedding Gemini in hundreds of millions of devices
But apparently, we haven't seen anything yet
Samsung, Google's largest partner in the Android ecosystem, is revealing grandiose plans that are expected to inject Google's Gemini model into the pockets of almost every end-user worldwide
Samsung MX division CEO, TM Roh, stated that the company plans to double the deployment of its AI devices.
If in the past year we saw Gemini integrated into 400 million devices, the target for 2026 is no less than 800 million smartphones, tablets, and home appliances equipped with this technology.
800,000,000
This is a crushing blow to anyone who thought Google would fall behind in the race against OpenAI
OpenAI's response and the pressure at company headquarters: Google's dominance through Samsung devices has not escaped the notice of competitors.
With the launch of Gemini 3, which showed exceptional performance in professional benchmarks, Sam Altman declared a 'code red' within OpenAI.
The move led to the freezing of side projects and a concentration of effort, which resulted in the GPT-5.2 model within a few weeks.
This competition indicates that control over AI is no longer just a matter of software, but of massive distribution capability to the general public
Hardware challenges and chip shortages: Alongside technological growth, Samsung is facing a complex reality in the supply chain.
The global shortage of memory chips is putting pressure on the mobile division's profit margins, with price increases considered inevitable.
This situation affects the entire industry, from televisions to smart home appliances, and requires the company to manage a cautious strategy with suppliers and partners
The foldable arena and the battle against Apple: While Samsung controls about two-thirds of the foldable device market as of Q3 2025, competition is expected to intensify.
Apple is planning an official entry into this category, which is expected to make foldable devices a mainstream consumer product within two to three years.
Ultimately, Samsung is a tremendous tool in the hands of the Silicon Valley monster
Awareness of the Galaxy AI brand, which jumped from 30% to 80% within a year, is Samsung's main weapon in its attempt to regain leadership in the global smartphone market and, along the way, to lead Google's Gemini to first place
The combination of Google's processing capabilities and Samsung's hardware distribution creates a powerful axis that influences content consumption and productivity for hundreds of millions of people.
The acceleration in AI adoption is already here, and it is changing the rules of the new digital economy
