What FIH Mobile does

Foxconn (Hon Hai) subsidiary that designs and manufactures smartphones and handsets on contract for global brands.

Assembles phones to other brands' designs for a thin mark-up over the cost of parts, so earnings depend on orders from a small number of handset customers. As part of Foxconn (Hon Hai), it draws on the group's parts buying and factory scale, and is moving into electronics for cars.

In one line: Foxconn's smartphone-ODM arm.
