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

        ", expanding the availability of AMOLED-packing Galaxy Tab S tablets"

        Availability is just availability... Samsung needs to reconsider its pricing politics. For some unknown reason they think that they can charge premium. In fact - lightweight, slim design and S-Amoled is just a selling point, advantage over other manufacturers but not a premium.
        Unfortunately Samsung is very bad in learning lessons... They will continue their dead end marketing strategy until they share destiny of Nokia, SonyEricsson, Siemens Mobile etc.

          Anonymous, 31 Jul 2014Could you remind me again what is the advantage of the 64-b... more64Bit chip for future 64bit apps that can perform even better.

          Fingerprint sensor does not make anyone lose sleep but Samsung still threw it in their GS5 following Apple.

              AnonD-13148, 31 Jul 2014Plastic is not an issue. It's just the easiest term people ... moreNote 3 and S5 are great looking devices. LG is not better design. NOT AT ALL. Nokia must make first high-end device with removable back , and then to talk. NO ONE WILL BUY Note or S with unibody design that you say you like. LOL

                Anonymous, 31 Jul 2014if plastic is an issue to many then why most people on Eart... morePlastic is not an issue. It's just the easiest term people used to describe Galaxy devices. It's the Samsung's improper implementation of plastic. LG and Nokia use plastic as well, but they know how to use it properly.

                  "Samsung isn't saying it but it seems that the Galaxy S5 failed to light up the market like the Galaxy S4 did last year"

                  That's why we have apple propaganda to say it. Right?

                    Samsung deserves a huge profit loss. They won't learn their lesson until they lose something. They think people would buy their products regardless of rubbish quality, they act like a shepherd leading a pack of sheep.

                      Cheap material and bloated software.
                      Sony or HTC at least have premium build.

                        AnonD-52738, 31 Jul 2014Samsung biggest issue is - design. Now even middle range... morethey tried to apple it, add cheap waterproofing by making the phone bigger instead of coating, made it look like a cheap chinese clone of S4 and expected people to buy anyway. Ohh and 2 gigs ram when last years note3 has three?!
                        Ive got GS3 and note 10.1 2014, and im freaking glad people didnt buy into their half assed shit, competition ftw.

                          Samsung biggest issue is - design.

                          Now even middle range phone can anytime look solid and nicer than Samsung device. Others manufacturer also use plastic but capable to make it look solid and beauty.

                          Samsung design wise forever no changes and the design from not so nice towards ugly - Samsung Galaxy S5.

                                  AnonD-279460, 31 Jul 2014I personally think that the samsung's problem is not cheap... moreNot really.

                                  I think it's mainly because of the lack of innovation.

                                  They've been running with the Galaxy series and the TouchWiz UI for years now, barely making any changes apart from hardware.

                                    Sammy, don't even think to update your old devices. Launch new device each week (if possible, every day), with no further update. Anyway, you had already destroyed.

                                      I hope samsung will open their eyes and start to see true their customers needs. People fed up with oversaturated and oversized cheaply manufactured smartphones.

                                        Maybe this is the right time for Apple to make a (cheap) offer to buy the phone division of Samsung in order to get some quality into those Galaxies!!
