3月17日，韩国媒体今日报道称，为了渡过艰难的2016年，三星电子削减了今年的研发成本，这也是公司18年来首次削减研发投资。
三星每年都会在研发方面投入巨资。在刚刚过去的2015年，虽然公司手机销量欠佳，但三星的研发投入还是创下了历史新高。去年，三星的研发开支达到了141亿美元，位居半导体行业全球第二。
但公司CEO权五铉(Kwon Oh-hyun)1月初在新年致辞中对员工表示，在全球经济走软和内存芯片与智能手机业务竞争加剧的大背景下，三星电子2016年的业务环境较为艰难。
据韩国媒体今日报道称，年初至今，三星电子已经在总部裁员2480人。截至2015年底，三星电子总部拥有99382名员工，而如今已降至96902人。
除了裁员，三星还削减了研发中心数量，从去年的44家降至41家，关闭了位于美国的电子材料研发中心和信息应用研发中心。除了总部，其他部门也进行了裁员。为了改善财务状况，三星还削减了研发成本，这也是公司自1998年以来首次削减研发费用。
为渡过难关，三星也是想尽办法来提高公司营收。例如，提高零部件利润，通过在Galaxy S系列旗舰智能手机中部署自家的Exynos 7420处理器来降低专利授权费等。
除了智能手机、零部件和电视业务，三星电子还在虚拟现实(VR)领域展开投资，并推出了Gear VR虚拟现实头盔。此外，三星还成立了自动驾驶汽车技术部门，并与SEAT、SAP、宝马和松下在相关领域展开合作。
在海外市场，三星电子正通过积极的海外合并和收购来推动海外业务扩张。2015年，三星电子新增8家海外子公司，使得子公司数量达到159家。新增的8家子公司有6家位于美国，另外2家位于亚洲。
刚刚上市的新一代旗舰智能手机Galaxy S7和S7 Edge也取得了开门红。上周五，这两款新手机在全球50个国家开售。据据韩联社获得的数据显示，Galaxy S7和S7 Edge在韩国的前两天销量已突破10万台。
