Samsung's phone sales this year fell to less than 300 million, marking the first time in nine years that the South Korean company shipped less than 300 million units.
According to a report by South Korea, the company was expecting these figures, given the Coronavirus pandemic.
Samsung plans to significantly promote folding smartphones in 2021, with the full expansion of the range of models supporting low- and medium-sized 5G networks.
Samsung's total sales at the end of the third quarter were 189.4 million units, and the company's total sales this year are estimated at 270 million units, the report said.
Samsung plans to ship 307 million mobile phones in 2021, including 287 million smartphones and the rest non-smartphones.
In addition, Samsung plans to produce a total of 49.8 million flagship phones, including the Galaxy S21 series and folding phones in 2021.
Samsung's folding phone could replace the company's Note series in the second half of next year.
Samsung phone shipments are expected to increase next year, given all the strategies.
The company has developed a plan that is in line with its plans before the emergence of the CORONA virus in conjunction with the global economy showing signs of gradual recovery, and looks forward to charging 300 million phones a year again.
With Huawei's current troubles, Samsung has plenty of market space to cover to fill the market gap left by U.S. sanctions against Huawei.
If it can detect some affordable 5G devices, it may gain this space and gain a larger share of the emerging market.
According to the report, Samsung wants to unveil a series of phones supporting low-cost 5G networks after the official release of the Galaxy S21 series.
The South Korean company is currently developing 5G models from galaxy A22, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72, and unlike the newer flagship models, these phones still retain a 3.5mm headphone port.
