Samsung outsource

HTC has decided to start outsourcing their low and mid-range devices, and now it looks as though Samsung will actually be following HTC this time.

Samsung has begun outsourcing the Galaxy Trend Duo, a mid-range device, which will hopefully allow the company to focus on emerging markets. According to reports, over 10% (30 million units) of Samsung's output will be outsourced by year's end.

As of now, Samsung has had 10 million Galaxy Trend Duos manufactured by subcontractor Zhonghuan Telecommuication. The device runs Android Jelly Bean and features a WVGA display and a dual-core processor.

We'll see if Samsung goes the outsourcing route with most of its mid-range devices or continues with what is already making it successful.
