While LG has officially exited the smartphone market completely, it appears that it still has operations related to smartphones in general. Apparently, the company’s batteries will be shipped in Samsung Galaxy A and Galaxy M series of smartphones.
According to TheElec, the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy A series of budget and Galaxy M series of mid range handsets will be powered by LG battery packs. Notably, this isn’t the first time the brand has used components from its former South Korean rival, with its high end Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series models also featuring LG made batteries. Now, it appears that LG is planning on growing its cooperation with Samsung by also making batteries for the more affordable smartphones lineups as well.
As per the report, the new batteries will be produced at LG Energy Solution’s Nanjing plant and will be transported to ITM Semiconductor’s local plant in Vietnam. After this, the batteries will be packaged and delivered to a Samsung smartphone factory. The report further added that an industry official had stated that ITM Semiconductor likely offered its services at an aggressive price. In other words, Samsung did not intentionally seek out LG Energy Solution to supply batteries for the future Galaxy A and Galaxy M series of smartphones.
