14 DAY TRIAL // Mark Zuckerberg’s trip to the Samsung factories in South Korea brings back the rumors that the company might be building a phone specifically tailored for the social network.
The company has already launched Home, back in April, a tool that is geared to make the site’s features easier to access and more integrated on mobile.
However, now that Zuckerberg is visiting Samsung, everyone’s wondering whether the Facebook CEO may want a device that suits the social network better, Mashable reports.
While some sources, such as The Korea Herald, believe that Facebook has no chance to create a future partnership with Samsung since it doesn’t have the same weight as Google does, others believe that there’s still a glimmer of hope.
Mark Zuckerberg also had a meeting with the South Korean president Park Geun-hye, who is known to have some ties to Samsung, while he did not visit LG Electronics, the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer.
