[Barcelona=Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] "I told No Tae-moon, President of Samsung Electronics MX Division, that since he captured the moon this time, next time he should try capturing Venus up close."

Han Jong-hee, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, said this on the 28th (local time) while experiencing the 200-megapixel camera of the Galaxy S23 Ultra at the Samsung Electronics exhibition hall at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 held in Barcelona, Spain.

This MWC prominently featured Chinese companies. Although they could not participate in CES 2023 held in the US last month due to the prolonged US-China conflict, they launched large-scale booths at MWC to target the European market. In particular, Huawei rented the entire Hall 1 among the seven main exhibition halls. Chinese smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo showcased their latest devices.

When asked if he had visited other exhibition halls or if there were any Chinese smartphone companies he paid special attention to, Vice Chairman Han replied, "Now is the time to look around," adding, "Competition must intensify for skills to improve, and for our reputation to rise."

Regarding the Galaxy security program 'Knox,' he commented, "The font size at the exhibition was small; it would be better to make it a bit larger."

Additionally, after experiencing the 'Nai-do Graphic' feature in a studio inspired by 'Seoul's Night,' he expressed admiration and asked, "Who came up with this idea?"
