Samsung Tweaks Software to Woo Chinese Buyers After Sales Slump
- Samsung's market share in China has dropped to 2% vs a decade ago when it dominated
- Samsung is optimizing software like AI features to appeal more to Chinese consumers
- The AI features on Galaxy S24 phones in China are powered by Baidu's Ernie, not Google
- Using Baidu instead of Google for AI is due to Android phones in China not having Google services
- The AI functionality itself seems to be the same between Baidu Ernie and Google, e.g. circling text to web search
