After a takeover by Foxconn, Samsung is reported to have sold its shares in Sharp in 2016, according to ​Samsung sells Sharp shares after Foxconn deal, by ZDNet. ZDNet cites Samsung unloads Sharp stake after Foxconn takeover by Nikkei, Inc., which requires log-in for access. The source from 2013 regarding the stake purchase does not reflect up-to-date information on the status of ownership. Remove section which states that "Samsung^[who?] owns 3% of Sharp Corporation, a rival company to Samsung" from "Partially owned companies" and move related information to the "Divested" section with updates.

This web page https://facts and details.com/korea/South_Korea/Chaebols_and_Samsung/entry-7404.html (combine facts and details into one to go to the web page) is about how widereaching Samsung is, of course this coundl't be used as a reliable source, however, it is needed because it features sources that either isn't mentioned/used or is mentioned/used littlely on Wikipedia but is in the webpage: "Image Sources: Wikimedia Commons. Text Sources: South Korean government websites, Korea Tourism Organization, Cultural Heritage Administration, Republic of Korea, UNESCO, Wikipedia, Library of Congress, CIA World Factbook, World Bank, Lonely Planet guides, New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, National Geographic, Smithsonian magazine, The New Yorker, “Culture and Customs of Korea” by Donald N. Clark, Chunghee Sarah Soh in “Countries and Their Cultures”, “Columbia Encyclopedia”, Korea Times, Korea Herald, The Hankyoreh, JoongAng Daily, Radio Free Asia, Bloomberg, Reuters, Associated Press, BBC, AFP, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Yomiuri Shimbun and various books and other publications." So while the web page coundl't be used as a reliable source, it features important sources that aren't on Wikipedia, I might as well reccomend to look for the entire website to find every reliable source in it, but i haven't looked much outside of this page, so i don't know about that. ~2025-43053-85 (talk) 16:27, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

The cited source is interpreted incorrectly. Rich Communication Services is a protocol, not a company acquired by Samsung.

Replace

"In November 2016, Samsung Canada announced it had acquired Rich Communication Services, a company working on a new technology for text messaging.^[1]"

with

"In November 2016, Samsung Canada announced it had acquired NewNet Canada, a company in the Rich Communication Services (RCS) business.^[2]" Ash.tahno (talk) 19:04, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
