The network of manufacturers that produce each flagship smartphone is core in the fast world of smartphone development but is often overlooked by the majority. But Samsung’s secrets were recently exposed, and it was revealed that they were the ones who operated the supply chain that worked on their latest releases – the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The main supply candidates for the Z Flip 6’s front cameras from MC Nex and Camsys will have to share this role with Mighty Voyager, Sky Tech, and Superior Optics, all made by the heavyweights – Samsung Electronics and a few others. Similar to the Z Fold 6, Camsys and PowerLogic Systems play the role of the front camera module, while a consortium of Samsung (Issail), Patron, Namuga, and others play the role of the rear camera setup.
Samsung maintains a dominant position in the market despite larger vendors gaining a foothold, with smartphone camera module sales of more than $760 billion in the first months of 2024. Notably, Patreon is gaining popularity after gaining the second position in the market. MC NEX moved back up to third place and PowerLogic dropped to fourth.
Surprisingly, Samsung’s sales volume exceeds the combined sales volume of Patron, MC Nex, and PowerLogic, and no doubt, this proves its unmatched strength in the industry. Furthermore, Samsung’s highest average selling price among all its competitors also reflects the company’s efforts dedicated to product quality and innovative technologies.
