I saw how Samsung builds its Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and it blew me away

Inside Samsung’s incredible Gumi Smart City

event, Samsung took me behind the scenes and into the heart of its phone manufacturing process. I’ve been reviewing smartphones now for 20 years and this is the first time I stood before the production line and watched as not one, but dozens of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra were built, programmed, tested, and packaged. It’s quite stunning.

Samsung’s been producing cell phones at Gumi since 1988, adding a second campus in 1996 for a total of five major complexes. Gumi produces both electronics and smartphones, of which it manufactures roughly 270 million units per year. Earlier this month, they surpassed 6 billion products. As we prepared to enter one of the main lines, a production manager proudly gestured to a wall-mounted green LED sign that keeps count and displayed the 6-billion-plus figure.

Part of the Samsung production line for the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5, which is not unlike the S23 production line. Samsung tests and retests everything throughout the manufacturing process. In this case, it checks all the solder and loads up the finished PCB with system software. Things usually go pretty well along the line, which has roughly 500 failures for every 1 million units produced.Samsung loads the platform on unfinished Galaxy phones and then uses robots to test it.This, of course, was just the beginning. Naturally, the board has to go somewhere.

At Main Bay 05 and 06, we spotted a robot using a 3D scanner to check if connections are properly fastened. Nearby, another robot arm checked to see if it had the right board for the European or US markets. Once it’s done, another robot arm quickly fastens the proper connector. Later we watch as robots checked that the S23 Ultra’s S Pen is properly placed and functional, that NFC works, and even a quick test run of the system software. Samsung also tested the audio, radiation, and Wi-Fi waves, and even water resistance in its quest to deliver functioning phones to you.
