According to a report by Sam Mobile, Samsung Electronics has cut its order quota to manufacture its smartphone. At least 50 percent of Samsung parts and parts orders were cut globally.
This South Korean mobile phone manufacturer also reduced its production quota in April, and only produces 10 million units of mobile phones distributed throughout the world. Moreover, all factories where smartphone production, both in South Korea, India and Brazil are experiencing the impact related to COVID-19.
As a result, Samsung only sells a limited number of low-mid-range to high-end cellphone models. This decision was taken after, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip and the Galaxy S20 trio recently.
Initially, Samsung was not bothered by the decrease in the number of production of its cellphones. But these conditions began to worsen, entering April when the spread of COVID-19 penetrated Europe and the United States (US).
Even so, Samsung is still pretty stable in going through tough times. The step of cutting order quotas to reduce the number of production units for mobile phone models that will be sold is a trick for Samsung to face the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
In addition, the technology giant from South Korea also has enough spare components until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the Samsung manufacturer often produces more than 300 million smartphone components and units each year.
This is also felt by Apple. The manufacturer from Cupertino, USA, was forced to postpone the mass production of the iPhone 12 for up to a month. This step was taken to anticipate the threat of an economic recession amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
