Korean tech giant Samsung has announced a range of new Galaxy smartphones, and they’re now somewhat eco friendly

The new offering includes improved cameras and the option of a stylus. The firm talked up the use of recycled materials such as repurposed fishing nets and used water bottles.

Its “Galaxy for the Planet” is a five-year plan to eliminate plastic waste in packaging and stop manufacturing waste going into landfill.

Experts have welcomed the greener eco-friendly initiative

Nylon fishing nets are turned into polyamide resin pellets used in the production of brackets which hold the volume and power keys in place.

Discarded water bottles and CD cases are also being used to create components.

Of its green initiative, Forrester analyst Thomas Husson stated that there was still “much to do”.

“Today, most consumers have no clue how damaging it is for the planet to regularly renew their smartphone hardware. Once they realise, sustainability will become a key way to differentiate between premium smartphone brands.”
Thomas Husson said

Samsung still lags behind Apple in most markets, according to the BBC

in the UK 40% of adults with a smartphone have an iPhone, versus 33% with a Samsung device
in the US 51% have iPhones and 29% use a Samsung
in France it is 22% Apple devices and 41% Samsung
in Australia 43% iPhone, 38% Samsung

The new range of smartphones includes the Samsung Galaxy S22, the Samsung Galaxy S22+, and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The smartphones go on general sale on 11 March.

Nvidia’s £68.1 billion revenue, up 73%, raises investor concerns about AI’s impact and tech customers’ financial health.

Nvidia posted strong quarterly earnings, but Wall Street remained unimpressed, causing shares to fall 5%. Analysts point to investor concerns over AI dominance and a stalled $100 billion deal with OpenAI.

Experts discuss what factors in the earnings report failed to meet market expectations, including revenue projections and details around the Vera Rubin chip architecture. Competition from alternative chipmakers and scrutiny of hyperscaler cash flows are also shaping investor sentiment.

Despite recent setbacks, analysts remain cautiously bullish on Nvidia, highlighting long-term AI potential and the company’s dominant position in the chip market.
