Samsung has confirmed it will release a different variant of its latest flagship Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone in China.

"It is true that we are reviewing the rollout of a new tablet with 128 GB built-in memory in China because Chinese companies are aggressively doing marketing with high-capacity memory," Koh Dong-jin, Samsung's president of mobile business, told The Korea Herald. "We will accept diverse opinions from various regions and also consider whether that move will disappoint Korean customers."
