Korean company downplays roots of flagship phone in effort to gain foothold in Japanese market

Samsung phones going on sale in Japan this week will not carry the company’s logo, but instead will be co-branded with the two mobile carriers who are launching them.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, which are available in the country from 23 April, will instead be marketed as the Docomo Galaxy and au Galaxy, according to the English-language Korea Herald newspaper.
