The Korean giant will reportedly attempt to build a new ecosystem mobile accessories around Samsung Galaxy S6. An increase of the number of partner companies is also said to be in the cards for the company.

Samsung will unsurprisingly manufacture the chips for the accessories before it supplies them to third-party companies. The company’s System LSI division will be tasked with production of the components. The accessory chips will also be able to connect to the Galaxy S6 via NFC.
