Samsung moves smartphone production lines from Vietnam to Gumi, South Korea
Recently, Samsung has decided to relocate its range of smartphone products to its overseas Gumi plant. This is a special step taken by the company after major factories in Vietnam and other countries experienced production shocks after COVID-19.
According to a report from ETNews, Samsung may have a change in smartphone production strategy, which prioritizes efficiency and optimized the production system.
Samsung smartphone production line moves from Vietnam to Gumi!
Late last year, Samsung Electronics moved part of its smartphone production line in Vietnam to its Gumi plant in North Gyeongsang Province. This is the first time the Gumi plant has increased its production capacity since relocating its manufacturing base overseas.
Most of the flagship smartphones in the Galaxy S22 series, which will be officially released on the 25th, are expected to be manufactured at the Gumi plant. With the aim of increasing the volume of sales, Samsung Electronics took its move to stabilize the factory price. It is making every effort to secure the inventory in support of the move.
Samsung Electronics produces 300 million units of smartphones a year. BcNinhand BcNinh, the largest manufacturing base in Vietnam, produces 60% of Samsung’s total smartphones.
The Gumi Plant, the only smartphone manufacturing base in Korea, serves as a manufacturing control tower to implement and pre-test new processes. The plant is particularly responsible for the domestic shipments of flagship products such as foldable smartphones and the Galaxy S, while Samsung’s share of the total production of smartphones has been steadily declining.

To update your Galaxy, head over to the phone’s Settings. You will find the Download and install button within the Software update submenu. Ensure a stable internet connection for a seamless installation experience.
Do note that this is a major One UI upgrade for Galaxy devices. It appears as One UI 6.1.1 on foldable and tablet models only. Galaxy S series phones remain on One UI 6.1, but features from the 6.1.1 is being deployed.
One UI 6.1.1-based Galaxy AI includes a Sketch to Image feature. This is a Generative AI function that lets users create stunning images by just simply drawing on a blank page in Samsung Notes or an image in Samsung Gallery.

Samsung Keyboard added a smart new Composer feature, letting users generate text messages, email, or social media posts. Live Translate is also updated to support many non-Samsung apps such as WhatsApp and Meet.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE is briefly listed on the Samsung India site. The company’s upcoming foldable phone comes with a thinner design over the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6. The handset was rumored to be exclusive to China and South Korea.
The phone’s India listing revealed its official promo images and confirmed colors. The device will launch in two colors – Crafted Black and White, with memory configurations that could include 12GB RAM + 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage.
The immature listing shows the SM-F956B model number and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip used. Samsung will also equip it with Galaxy AI – similar to the Z Fold 6. The Special Edition could sport a 19.32 cm QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x display.
Anyway, what it did apparently say was that pre-orders for the device in Korea will start on October 18 and end on October 24 ahead of the phone’s release on October 25. So perhaps the September 25 leak got the date right, just not the month.
In a separate leak, Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could go on pre-order in Korea from October 18 to October 24. The release is scheduled to take place on October 25, with previous rumors indicating the launch could have been done on September 25.
Previous reports say that the Z Fold 6 SE could feature an 8″ internal folding screen and a 6.5″ cover screen. The camera department is said to consist of a 200-megapixel primary camera from the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
