SEOUL—Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has ended mobile telephone production in China, it said on Oct. 2, hurt by intensifying competition from domestic rivals in the world’s biggest smartphone market.

The shutdown of Samsung’s last China phone factory comes after it cut production at the plant in the southern city of Huizhou in June and suspended another factory late last year, underscoring stiff competition in the country.
