If the company has the bigger targets for production, it usually sources the battery and other small phone components from outside the company. This is done to maintain the supply chain sources and secondly to reduce the production cost of a single smartphone or a product. Samsung will use the batteries that are supplied from the Nanjing plant LG. They will provide the battery but the protection circuitry will be assembled in Samsung‘s smartphone plant only.
Let me tell you Samsung is using the batteries from LG Energy Solutions since 2019, whether it is the best-selling Galaxy S series or a Galaxy Note series. This is a very common practice now, so do not get worried or surprised if you are using a Samsung phone that is either made in Vietnam or India and has a phone battery sourced from LG or a camera module from Sony and others, they are going to work with their full capabilities undoubtedly.
