      Most are still happy with 2029 and 2020 flagship phones, especially when Snapdragon 888, 888+, and 8 Gen 1 proved to be an overheating failure.

        Anonymous, 20 Jul 20232 quarter in a row Samsung has no profitBecause of low demand for memory chips, not because of phones. At least don't lie.

                      It will be like this 10 years from now. Samsung, Apple and Xiaomi are the only brands that matter. Maybe Sony for some camera geeks.

                              There were reason why someone upgrade before their phone were broken. In the past reason to upgrade were
                              1. Bigger screen
                              2. Better Camera
                              3. Bigger Battery
                              4. Faster Charging
                              5. 5G (better internet speed)

                              Apparently,
                              There is little reason to upgrade now.
                              There is *nothing urgent* to upgrade as of now

                                    That means on average in 1 year 1 billion smartphones are being purchased by the global population.
                                    Wow!
                                    That number is huge.
