You're logic is limited to elementary understanding of words used to describe financial situations. It's not black or white. Samsung is a corp with huge revenues and huge costs. Think about that for a second. And just take a moment to think about who they have in China. And the number... 1000 employees in the management position.

I mean, I'm talking to a guy who thinks sales number determines quality of product. McD sells most burgers, whose burger is better? McD's, BK's, or Wendy's? Great logic.

How do I back that up? Well there's this thing called logic, which you clearly seem to lack, still trying to dodge the bottom line too I see.

When making profit, cutting wages will be a huge improvement in the income statement. Poor performance? I mean... the profits are pretty healthy in the recent report. I'm not sure that you're looking at anything to back up your claims.

                    They still have ways to go until they reach MS level of laying off 7800 people in phone division. They are not charities and if the company can do just as good with less people, they will fire them.

                          I guess having no notification badges on the top and not having collapsible notifications also having crappy stuff like siri and apple maps is a superior experience according to you then congratulations
                          According to me superior experience is buying an s6 edge with the best camera on a smartphone the best display on a smartphone the best os (android)
                          Far more exciting design than thick ass (bezel) ishit for almost half the price(in india you can get an s6 edge 64 gb for $740 and the 64 gb 6s costs $1260)
