https://wccftech.com/galaxy-z-flip-factory-in-south-korea-shut-down-temporarily-due-to-coronavirus/ > The Coronavirus epidemic continues to wreak havoc across the smartphone industry. It was the reason why MWC 2020 got canceled, and OnePlus almost moved its event online, although the company said that is will still go ahead with the physical launch. Now, Galaxy Z Flip shipments could be affected, as the sole factory that manufactures it just shut down due to the Coronavirus-related issues. > Samsung has been steadily moving its production away from Chinese factories, partially because the Chinese have 'borrowed' some of their display technology. The Galaxy Z Flip is a one-of-a-kind foldable, and Samsung wouldn't risk manufacturing it outside of Korea. The Moto Razr counterpart and the original Galaxy Fold are manufactured in the city of Gumi, which is only 200 kilometers away from the Chinese border.
