Samsung last week apparently cut down on the production of the Galaxy S4 and reduced the components inventory by up to 15 percent. Now ET News claims the impact of this decision on suppliers will be minimal as one of Samsung's executives says an order with similar figures will be placed for the Galaxy Note III from August.
This bodes good news for suppliers but more importantly, good news for consumers as Samsung will mostly start mass production of its upcoming Galaxy Note device.
Galaxy Note III is expected to be announced in September in IFA and if Samsung starts producing the new device in August, we can expect the actual release somewhere around late September or early October.
