Deep Commitment to Indian Consumers

In order to provide products and services that are specialized for India, Samsung Electronics operates five R&D centers, one design center and two production sites in the country, along with a sales-focused corporate body.

In July, the size of the Noida production site was increased to a total of 250,000 square meters, to expand smartphone production up to 120 million devices annually through the end of 2020. The expansion is in response to rapidly growing demand in the Indian smartphone market and an increase in Indian exports.

In addition, Samsung Electronics continues to develop various functions and services reflecting the needs of Indian consumers. The ‘Chat on Video’ service enables users to chat with others through a translucent chat window while watching YouTube videos. ‘Samsung Mall’ will help search for a product that you are looking when you take a picture of a similar product, and ‘S-Bike Mode’ manages calls for you while you are riding your bike so you are not disturbed.

Samsung and India’s constructive cooperation has proven fruitful since the company first entered the market in 1995. The launch of Galaxy Note9 will be another momentum to drive continued co-growth for the two partners.
