“They’re basically the company that makes your phone, TV, fridge, and the chips inside them.”
Samsung makes the electronics you touch every day: phones, TVs, laptops, watches, and kitchen appliances. It also builds the tiny memory chips and screens that go inside its own gadgets and other companies' gadgets too. Think of it like one giant factory town that makes both the car and most of the parts that go inside the car. You probably own something with a Samsung part in it even if you've never bought a Samsung product.
