To save money, Samsung relocates smartphone production to India
Samsung is planning to move the bulk of its smartphone production to India, according to The Economic Times. It is expected that this will reduce the cost of the devices and increase their competitiveness.
Samsung, as noted, is gradually phasing out the release of smartphones in South Korea due to the high wages of employees of enterprises. Now the company manufactures about 50% of its cellular devices in Vietnam. In addition, Samsung smartphone factories operate in Brazil and Indonesia.
It is noted that in the future, the South Korean giant intends to produce the bulk of cellular devices in India. Their total cost over the next five years will be $ 40 billion, while devices with a factory cost of $ 200 will account for more than $ 25 billion.
Samsung predicts smartphone sales will increase in the current quarter from the previous quarter as the product range expands with new flagship models including the Galaxy Note and a new foldable device. In addition, the recovery of the market, which has been seriously affected by the impact of the coronavirus, will help improve sales.
