Samsung is planning to manufacture the S6 and S6 Edge in India
Samsung has today announced that it will begin manufacturing the recently-announced Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in India as early as next month. This move presumably is an effort to combat the nasty import fees the company has to pay annually and leave more room for profit.
Although both flagship smartphones will be manufactured in India, they won’t face a price drop just yet. The Galaxy S6 units produced there will merely be used to meet the rapidly-growing local demand, and, seeing as Samsung will need to hire more workers, it should also receive a TNC (Transnational Company) tax reduction.
So, as it stands, this decision looks like an effort on Samsung’s part to reduce its expenditure when producing smartphones to send to the Asian market, by simply manufacturing them there. This results in higher profit margins, which the company needs desperately as it didn’t do as well as it hoped last year.
Samsung is scheduled to release the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge in India on April 10.
