Samsung Begins Assembling Premium Smartphones In India: Report

  • Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (OTC: SSNLF) reportedly began making its fold and flip smartphones and its latest Galaxy S23 flagship in India.

  • The South Korean giant's Indian unit previously imported some of its premium flip and folded devices into the second-biggest smartphone market.

  • Samsung is now assembling its entire phone portfolio locally, Bloomberg reports citing Samsung India's mobile business head, Raju Pullan.

  • Samsung did not divulge whether the locally assembled flagship devices will be priced lower than the imported ones.

  • Samsung narrowed competition with its more affordable devices, tying up with banks for credit card offers and rolling out a consumer credit program that helped it sell devices worth $1 billion in 2022, Pullan said.
