Aditya Babbar, Senior Director and Head, Product Marketing, Samsung India, said the new models and their variants are now imported. Samsung has a manufacturing unit at Noida and may later consider making these premium phones here. It has already started production of models like the S22, which were earlier imported, he said.
He said the company has not faced any shortage of chips and electronic components in recent times. On a query if the rising tension between China and Taiwan is a concern for the company, Babbar said the company was not dependent on them.
