Overview
While Samsung maintains some manufacturing in South Korea, particularly for high-tech components and its local market, the vast majority of its smartphone production is now outsourced to other countries like Vietnam and India.
Korean-made Samsung devices, particularly those for the domestic market, may differ in specifications like processor, camera, and RAM compared to international versions.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
South Korea (Domestic & High-Tech):
High-tech component manufacturing:
Samsung still designs and produces key components like CPUs, OLED displays, camera sensors, and flash memory chips in South Korea.
Primary market focus:
The South Korean manufacturing facilities primarily serve the domestic market with devices tailored to local preferences and infrastructure.
Regional differences:
Korean variants of Samsung phones might have different processors (e.g., Snapdragon in the Korean S5 vs. Exynos in international models), higher RAM, and features specific to the Korean market, like an antenna for mobile TV streaming.
