It was only a matter of time before things were changed up at the top in Samsung‘s mobile division, and the Korean manufacturer moved to make those changes yesterday. Dongjin Koh is the new president of Samsung’s mobile business, taking over the day-to-day management of the business group from J.K. Shin, who remains in charge of long term strategy and areas for the company to grow into. However, for those of you who think this change at the top will drastically change things at Samsung, think again – according to one expert from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Chang Sea-jin:
“Koh is basically the same person as Shin…Â There is no real change and Samsung appears to be continuing on the hardware-centric path.”
So, that’s cool.
Koh moves into the top spot after leading the mobile R&D division to make arguably Samsung’s most impressive devices to date, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5 – though none of this has managed to turn around the mobile division’s fall from grace. However, the hope is that this changing of the guard may improve things, somehow.
