Samsung is actively promoting its new version of the Galaxy Z Flip foldable smartphone, but things aren't really going well.
What is the reason? What else, besides the notorious coronavirus or COVID-19, as it is officially called. Last month, Samsung was forced to suspend work at the factory in Gumi, which produces Z-Flip phones, after it was discovered that the employee had contracted the virus.
Since then, there have been 6 cases of virus infection in the factory complex, which has led to constant shutdowns for subsequent disinfection. According to Reuters, one more was recorded today.
Samsung spokesman said the plant shouldstart work on saturday. Not surprisingly, Samsung is keen to return to production. Since the Galaxy Z Flip is still in demand among customers in the wake of advertising created by bloggers and reviewers, Samsung must provide enough margin to meet demand before people start looking for another device and save their $ 1,500.
The situation is difficult for Samsung. On the one hand, the company must provide its employees with the most safe working conditions, but, on the other hand, the pressure aimed at achieving its goals forces the company to support the work of its factories. We do not envy the leader who must make these decisions, that's for sure.
