31 July, 2014
The smartphone division is still the biggest earner but seasonally weak demand is hurting sales.

As you all know xoami , oppo , huawai are taking all big sellers down thanks to the hightech phones sold a low prices . If samsung does not lower their prices they will lose even more money in Q3 ! But yeah how am i for telling them that , they probably will notice once their revenu is in critical condition . This applies to apple , lg and sony aswell

                  Samsung best days are in past, its obviosly that they cant sell anymore like they did before. Android is too big and the slice of cake for invidual company gets smaller and smaller and only thing what they can do is lower the price and that means less money.

                  Samsung going to face very difficult end of the year and start of the next year, they just doesnt have a phone to compete.

                    I wonder if/when Samsung actually launches a metal phone, will all the spoiled cry babies in the forums, rush to buy one? If not, why are you filling up the forums with pointless and irrelevant rant about "cheap" plastic?

                          I have been using samsung for the last 10 years. From candybar phone to note3. But eventually decided to go for a change and bought LG G2. I was amazed to see the performance of the g2 over note3. No lag. smooth user experience. And its cheap. Samsung needs to built phones around user experience rather than putting too many features in a single smartphone.

                          For mid range phone samsung needs to stripped down the features. Their touchwiz needs an overhaul.

                            Well it's not surprising what with the s5 being the disappointment that it is.

                              well it has to happen, downfall of samsung has started like Nokia. So good news is we may get some price cuts for samsung devices.

                                      Drop water proof/dust resistance function and make your phone slim and light as you did for s4. That's it.
