元器件交易网讯 2月25日消息，据外媒报道，三星电子移动部门总裁兼CEO Shin Jong-kyun在2014年巴塞罗纳世界移动大会上称三星将领军可穿戴领域，他预计今年市场将会火起来。
Shin称，“三星电子优先发行一系列产品，目前统治着智能手机和可穿戴市场，今年它将处于行业领先地位。”
Shin暗示今年年底公司可能也将发行各种可穿戴设备，他期望满足消费者快速变化的生活。
据该公司称，三星和英特尔共同开发的智能手表，运行Tizen操作系统，将与手机、消费电子产品和汽车配对。
Shin说三星在加强其在移动和可穿戴市场的位置的同时，将专注于PC产品，这暗示着它正试图夺取该市场的领导地位，该市场目前被苹果主导。
“很多人似乎低估了中国制造商，这是不对的。”他说，“考虑到中国对手的快速增长，最终他们将超过我们。”
至于与苹果的争议，Shinbi表示，该公司不可能在短时间内达成共识，他拒绝对两家公司争议点作具体解释。
市场研究数据显示，预计三星在2014年第一季度将占36.2%的市场份额，苹果占17%。
LG将占5.9%市场份额，中国智能手机制造商华为、联想和中兴各占5%。

外媒原文如下：
Shin Jong-Kyun, CEO and president of Samsung Electronics" IT and mobile division, said in Barcelona Sunday (local time) that Samsung would lead the era of wearables, which he expects to catch on this year.
“Samsung Electronics, which has reigned in both the smartphone and wearables markets so far by releasing a series of first-of-their-kind products, will try to clinch the leading position in the markets this year,” said the CEO at a press conference held ahead of the Mobile World Congress, the world"s biggest mobile trade show, to be held in the Spanish city from Monday through Thursday.
The Korean tech giant will unveil its new Samsung Gear 2 and Samsung Gear 2 Neo smart watches at the trade show, successors of the Galaxy Gear released last year.
Shin hinted that the company would also release “various types of wearable devices” later this year, which he expects will meet the needs of the fast-changing lifestyle of consumers.
The smart watches, running on the Tizen operating system developed by Samsung and partners including Intel Corp., will be paired with handsets, consumer electronics and vehicles, according to the firm.
While reinforcing its position in the mobile and wearable products sectors, the president said that Samsung would also focus on tablet PC products, hinting that it will try to take the lead in that market, currently dominated by California-based Apple Inc.
Shin, however, said that Samsung will likely face neck-and-neck competition in the smartphone market with both high-end smartphone makers such as Apple and budget handset makers including those from China.
“Many seem to undervalue Chinese smartphone manufacturers, but this is not right,” said Shin, adding, “Considering their fast growth, the Chinese players will excel after all.”
As for the patent dispute with Apple, Shin said the companies will not likely be able to reach common ground in the near future, declining to specify the sticking points between the two rivals.
Data compiled by market researcher Strategy Analytics showed Samsung is expected to take 36.2 percent of the world"s smartphone market in the first quarter of 2014, followed by Apple with 17 percent.
LG is estimated to garner a 5.9 percent market share over the cited period, with Chinese smartphone makers including Huawei Technologies Co., Lenovo Group and ZTE Corp. taking about 5 percent each
