If there's been a common knock against Samsung, it’s that the company cranks out way too many phones. The worsening fortunes of its bottom line, which plummeted 50 percent in the last quarter, is forcing the company to retool its typical strategy. Instead of the more is more approach, Samsung wants to make The South Korean company will reduce the number of smartphone models it produces by around 25 to 30 percent, according to Robert Yi, head of investor relations for Samsung.
