Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A7 (2018) which is its first phone to come with triple rear-cameras and A9 is the world’s first smartphone with four rear-cameras. Now it looks like Samsung is working on yet another A-series phone that will be launched only in China initially. It is also said to be the company’s first ODM device which means that a third-party would manufacture it for the company.
A recent report suggests that Samsung would outsource manufacturing to Wintech. The devices will have its logo at the back and this would help the company restructure its manufacturing costs as it aims to get back in the game in China. This move from the company comes at a time where the speculation are rife that Samsung is shutting down one of its two manufacturing plants in China. It might be because of the sluggish sales and rising labor costs.
The leaked Galaxy A6s images that surfaced on the Weibo claim that it would be the company’s first ODM smartphone and it essentially looks very much like the Galaxy A9 at first glance. it features vertical dual-rear cameras and gradient colors and no physical home button but packs thick bezels. It has a ‘Galaxy Phoenix’ name on the startup screen which could either be the local moniker for this device or a codename of some sort. This might be the reason why we heard rumors about the Galaxy-P series.
it is unclear when and where Samsung would launch the Galaxy A6s and if the company would launch the phone outside of China.
