Marketing continues across Galaxy and AI
The financial results come amid continued marketing activity across Samsung’s smartphone and consumer electronics businesses. In January 2026, Samsung’s India-focused #WithGalaxy photography initiative for the Galaxy S series generated 31,331 submissions and set two Guinness World Records, according to the company. The campaign ran from December 30, 2025 to January 26, 2026 and encouraged consumers across India to participate through photography. Samsung has also continued to build its communication around artificial intelligence and the wider Galaxy ecosystem, with campaigns and consumer initiatives supporting the Galaxy S26 series alongside its growing portfolio of AI-enabled consumer electronics.
The company’s India marketing calendar has also included the 2026 range of Bespoke AI appliances and the Galaxy S26 FE, among other product launches. Beyond consumer campaigns, Samsung has continued its skills and technology initiatives in India. In September 2026, the company launched the latest edition of Samsung Innovation Campus in Karnataka, targeting 2,000 young people for AI training during the year. The programme is part of a wider target to train 20,000 youth across 10 states through the 2026 edition.
Samsung continues to operate across smartphones, tablets, televisions, home appliances and personal computing in India, while the country also serves as a manufacturing and export base for the company. Its R&D presence includes facilities in Bengaluru, Noida and the Delhi-NCR region.
