Samsung’s head of investor relations Robert Yi stated as a part of a presentation in New York that the company will cut the number of models in its portfolio about 25 to 30 percent in 2015. He did not say which models will be part of the reduction or whether the company will just launch less phone than previous years.
“Having fewer models will allow Samsung to better manage its inventory and supply chains, analysts say, at a time when demand for its Galaxy smartphones is waning,” wrote WSJ in a report.
To remind you, at this point, Samsung’s smartphone portfolio is a mess and includes an unknown but huge number of smartphones. The company typically, over the year, releases several variants of its smartphones, which often become confusing not only for the consumers, but also are a problem the company in managing inventory and supply chains.

Finally… Samsung does something that makes sense…
lets see how many of these phones that doesn’t have a “Note or Sx” tag next to it receives any kind of incremental Android update.
