The vast majority of Samsung phones are made in Vietnam, India, and South Korea. Samsung Mobile no longer owns factories in China, though they may or may not contract out manufacturing for low end phones for the local China market.
Show me a mid-market up to top end Android phone that isn't made in China...
Yes I know there's a series of specific Samsung models that are approved for US govt use and are likely made in a facility in south Korea.
I think we have two categories of things
A) phones made in China with software/OS load for CCP compliant censorship and data collection
B) phones made in China with software and OS load for the global market (example would be oxygenOS on an English language OnePlus phone. If it turns out there's hidden data collection or censorship frameworks in oxygenOS I would be very disappointed.)
However, Samsung represents approximately a third of the world's smartphone market, while LG is something like 3% -- tagging along behind Samsung, Huawei, Apple, Xiaomi, and Oppo.
Hardly any of the iPhone is made in China. Taiwan is not China. The same is true about Samsung phones, they've almost entirely eliminated China from their manufacturing process. Three times as many Samsung phones are made in Vietnam as in China at this point. Before another five or six years out, barely any non-domestic smartphones will be made in China.
I'm guessing probably none today. The smartphone business is heavily commodified at this point and there is no "basic components" that be made exclusively only in China. As I noted earlier in my comment, there are over 200 suppliers and subcontractors who set up shops and make basic parts for Samsung in Vietnam. Further, none of the "key" components such as AP, memory, storage, wireless radio, display, or glass, is made in China. Lastly, considering South Korea's recent brouhaha over THAAD, no South Korean company wants any further economic risk from political conflict with China and have been severing their dependency on Chinese suppliers last two years.
Samsung doesn't "make" its phones in Vietnam. It assembles its phones in Vietnam using parts imported from China. 5G, battery protection circuits, microphones and speakers... Those are all Chinese in every phone regardless of where it is assembled AFAIK.
Possibly some Google Pixel 7 -- Vietnam
ASUS -- Taiwan
Sony -- Japan
(Sometimes it's only specific models.)
