SK Telecom CEO Ryu Young-sang and Samsung Electronics’ mobile business chief Roh Tae-moon discussed their potential partnership on a slew of tech areas, including 5G network, artificial intelligence and the metaverse, upon Ryu’s visit to Samsung’s exhibition booth at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

“Samsung has been creating comprehensive services by converging different areas of business into one,” Ryu said. “SK Telecom will continue to push forward to fine-tune its convergence of telecommunication services for mobile phones, fixed-line devices and internet protocol televisions.”

During the visit, Ryu was also briefed on Samsung‘s smart TVs, robots, augmented reality technologies and budget smartphones using flexible display panels.

Company officials, however, cautioned to put too much emphasis on their meeting itself, saying detailed plans for a new convergence of businesses have yet to crystalize.

Samsung’s convergence projects showcased at CES include a voice command on smartphone to control appliances, the Bespoke edition of its flagship clamshell phone Galaxy Z Flip 3, among others.
