Samsung Electronics\' DS division posted 89.2 trillion won in second-quarter sales, while its DX division logged an operating loss of 800 billion won as higher memory prices lifted costs for device businesses. Executives said DRAM and NAND average selling prices rose sharply from the previous quarter, hurting profitability at the MX unit. The company plans to adjust its sales mix and improve resource efficiency, but offered no plan to cut costs. Executives also cited uncertainty and weaker demand outlooks.

Samsung Electronics has formalised robots as a next-generation core business and set up a dedicated organisation. The company said it will establish the RX (Robotics eXperience) Business Promotion Office under the CEO to integrate companywide robotics capabilities and drive work from mid- to long-term strategy and core technology development to commercialisation. It will use its Seoul R&D Campus as a main base, build a data factory in Gumi, and set up global research bases in the United States, China and Japan.
