Samsung Electronics on Wednesday unveiled a passport-sized foldable phone and raised prices of two updated foldable models, as it grapples with rising memory chip prices while bracing for a new threat from Apple in the niche but growing segment. The South Korean technology company pioneered foldable smartphones but its dominance is set to be challenged by Apple which analysts expect this year to launch a foldable phone with a screen similar in size to an iPad mini. "Strategically, this is one of Samsung's most important foldable launches," said Francisco Jeronimo, vice president at researcher IDC.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold8 is the lightest book-style foldable phone on the market, but that’s not the headline. Based on analyst reports, it’s a preview of Apple’s long-rumored folding iPhone, expected this fall. The device is squatter and wider than Samsung’s previous foldables.
Korean authorities are working to restore order following on-again-off-again appetite for artificial-intelligence trades, but analysts say it will be difficult to keep AI-driven volatility in check.
South Korea's Samsung is in talks to invest hundreds of millions of euros in the AI start-up Mistral, as part of a fundraising round that could value the group at roughly €20 billion ($22.81 billion), Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

Samsung Electronics on Monday launched its first U.S. co-branded credit card with Barclays, deepening its push into the financial services space in the country and signaling plans to broaden its offerings in the future. The Samsung Galaxy Card, issued by Barclays and running on Visa's network, will allow users to apply, manage accounts, track spending and redeem rewards entirely through Samsung Wallet. The credit card launch also puts Samsung in direct competition with Apple Pay, which dominates payment services in the U.S. The launch comes as technology companies and banks race to deepen ties between digital wallets and financial products, seeking to make smartphones the primary device for payments and money management, and both Samsung and Barclays want to capitalize on it.

The global artificial intelligence boom has propelled ASML to the top of Europe's stock market, as soaring demand for AI computer chips flows to the Dutch company that dominates the market for the equipment needed to make them.

Key obstacles include doubts over how long Google, Amazon, and other hyperscalers will keep spending heavily on data centres, and whether ASML, its suppliers and customers such as TSMC and Samsung can execute expansion plans.
