Samsung: Samsung may shift its next-gen foldable phone production to India – Times of India
After Apple, Samsung is also reportedly planning to move its manufacturing from China to India. The South Korea-based smartphone maker might be considering this move as the US export restrictions on China increase. According to a report by Business Korea, starting from semiconductors to phones, Samsung Electronics is preparing to make India a potential manufacturing hub for different products. The tech giant already manufactures a host of entry-level and mid-range phones in the country. Now, the company is reportedly planning to ramp up its dependency on its infrastructure across the Indian subcontinent. The latest report suggests that Samsung might be preparing to manufacture its next-gen foldable smartphones in the country.

Apart from this, some of the latest additions to the One UI operating system were also developed at the Samsung R&D Institute in Noida.

The report didn’t mention if the company is considering making all the foldable models ( including the ones to be sold in the global market) in India.

The report also adds that Samsung is also likely to diversify its foldable phone supply chain. Despite the US restrictions on China, Samsung may add BOE to its list of suppliers and stop depending entirely on its display arm for the foldable phones, the report adds. This means that the company may use BOE panels for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 which will be assembled in India.
