SEOUL (Reuters) -- Samsung Electronics on Thursday forecast a recovery in global tech device demand in 2022 after reporting its best fourth-quarter profit in four years, but warned of ongoing challenges from supply chain issues and COVID-19.

The tech giant said its memory chip business this year "expects server demand to grow, attributed to [an] increase in IT investments and new high-core CPUs," while mobile chip demand is likely to increase due to expansions of 5G-capable models.
