The global shortage of chips has created a lot of issues for the technology companies, impacting their production cycles. While the automakers were the first to be heavily impacted, now consumer electronics companies are also facing the heat.
Samsung, the world’s leading smartphone manufacturers, is reportedly facing production problems for its Galaxy A series of phones. As per the report coming from Korea, the company is facing issues with procuring Application Processors (AP).
The issue is especially for the Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A72 smartphones that were first unveiled by the South Korean giant in March this year. While these phones are launched in some European countries, only the Galaxy A52 5G is available in the US.
The smartphones facing issues are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G and Snapdragon 750G processors, manufactured by Samsung Foundry using the 8-nanometer Low Power Plus (LPP) process.
A report cites a person aware of the matter who works at a company that is a supplier to Samsung. Further, the report adds that the delayed production of Galaxy A-series phones is worrying other component suppliers over delayed revenues.
Qualcomm CEO-elect Cristiano Amon had said a couple of months ago that the chip shortage is expected to continue up to the end of this year. Samsung CEO for IT & Mobile Communication Business, DJ Koh had wanted about the serious imbalance in supply and demand of chips.
