In what the company files to New Delhi’s regulators, it said that some of the lands for the Noida factory would be allocated for the new facility.

What it expects to gain from this is to increase the capacity of manufacturing smartphones in India to gain access to the tax benefits that the city has to offer.

These benefits should help it tremendously in the war against Xiaomi, the Chinese phone maker that has dethroned xnxubd Samsung in India to be the biggest phone provider.

India is by far the second-largest smartphone market in the world, boasting around 500 million users, and the Korean tech giant is ranking second after Xiaomi in the country.

However, India is not the only market xnxubd Samsung is losing its market shares. Recently, it has been beaten in China by the local brand Realme, which is believed to take that place of Samsung in the last quarter of 2019, as stated by some analysts.
