Samsung is behind because :
1. They remove phone options, like FM radio, SD cards,
removable batteries, etc. so people with older phones don't upgrade and they hold on to their phones.
2. Problematic software, like slow touchwiz, very late
android upgrades and at the same time with many problems
so they don't trust the company anymore.

      loubielou, 19 May 2015Samsung might have thought about the Pricing of the Galaxy ... moreNote 4 indeed is a beast, but if pricing is not of a concern, I think some people may prefer Note Edge over Note 4.

      I was overwhelmed that Note 4/Edge were outsold by iPhone6s by huge margin...

          it is high time Samsung learn from their predecessor, blackberry 9900 was once sold 120k here in Nigeria, sellers are now begging us to buy for 15 to 20k, the price for Samsung here in Nig. is killing. I believe its one of the major factor why Samsung sales is going retrogressively. tecno and infinix is taking the lead in africa, they perform almost the same function, the same os @ very cheap price. let them listen to my gentle advice and do the needful so that Samsung lovers can enjoy.....

            Samsung might have thought about the Pricing of the Galaxy S6,as they have made it to Affordable for a lot of People,Glass might look good but its a Fingerprint Grabber plus adds a Price Upgrade,the S5 was Waterproof & Offered the Removable Battery an Micro Sd Card Slot but the S6 did not match this,the Note 4 is the Best Samsung phone on Offer now,Samsung have got to stop Overpricing there phones or people will start Switching away from them,Apple seem to get away with Over Pricing nowdays

              AnonD-373028, 19 May 2015Yup I had the s2 up until now cuz I just needed to upgrade ... moreS2 looks so cool in design....miss that good old time when Samsung released S2/S3 few years back then....

              I owned a S3, and, in some ways, I feel S2 looks slightly better...

                AnonD-396315, 19 May 2015Because consumers know the time they buy samsung flagship, ... moreSamsung releases two flagships per year. But they released a lot of mid-range phone in-between...

                I hope they release fewer phones and focus more on innovating phones they gonna be releasing in future...

                not many upgrade to new phones twice per year...

                but I think Samsung is doing fine, they are good at marketing...

                    What I thought that they already sold 10M a while back. I guess they were just over hyping it.

                      AnonD-384753, 19 May 2015I think S6 is the best phone made by SAMSUNG ever, why not ... moreBecause consumers know the time they buy samsung flagship, after a month or two, it will drown because samsung will release another fone and another fone and on and on and on. Then at the end of the day, no support for latest OS version. Thus depreciation is very high..

                              Come on...it can't be true. Samsung fans were all over the place saying S6 will break all records of previous models and all records of iPhones...

                                Not like s4, not s5, not s6 because NO FM radio. Idiotic samsung politics to force people using more streaming.

                                  This is because people is waiting for the LG G4,the best phone on the market right now,it has no competition period.

                                    Am a Samsung fan but seriously the lack of a removable battery is a serious no deal for me,hope the Note 5 still keeps the Note 4 features or am gonna start looking at some others like LG's line ups..
