For those that have Samsung exclusive colors, where does it say that yours is manufactured?

I ordered my 256 GB Phantom Brown S21U on April 30th, with an expected delivery date of June 1st. I notice that Samsung phones are manufactured in different countries, be it Vietnam, Korea, etc. If you have one of the exclusive colors, where was yours manufactured? Do you have a preference as to where your phone was manufactured? I wonder since Phantom Brown, Navy and Titanium are exclusive colors whether or not Samsung is directly involved in the quality control, since they're made to order?

My S21U is Phantom Navy, had it since Feb. How would I determine where it was made?

I can't imagine a situation where they would not be fully in charge of quality procedures over their devices. I mean imagine if you bought a Toyota or Honda made in Japan vs the US. And yes you can buy Japanese versions in the US, I have a Japanese Toyota. Didn't know it when I bought it but back to the topic. The quality standard should be the same. Some sourced parts may be from different companies but they would still have to meet the main standard. Samsung still has to warranty the item.

I worked for an international Honda supplier. We manufactured parts for Hondas around the world and while there was some product variation, to meet the D.O.T. requirements for that particular country, the quality standard never changed. I can't imagine Samsung would be much different because they're putting their name and warranty on the device.

Maybe if it were something like Frigidaire who makes their own brand name unit and also a very similar unit under the brand Tappan you might find some difference or variation. Maybe. I still can't imagine them allowing a lower standard. I mean Samsung makes screens for iPhone, their biggest competitor. If ever there was a reason to not put your best foot forward...

Should be somewhere on the box.

If you cannot find your phone's place of manufacturing on the box try downloading Phone INFO ★SAM★, free from the Google Play store, to see your phone's information. (see screenshot)

Mine is Korean, nice.

It's black though, so not really pertinent to the thread haha.

OK, S21 Ultra Phantom Navy, made in Korea.

S21 Ultra Phantom Silver. Made in Vietnam.

Edit: I don't think this is an exclusive color. C'est la vie.
