          Its a very simple marketing strategy for samsung needed. Start working on quick optimizations & updates. Try borrow a leaf from the nexus line up. Then optimize touchwiz and reduce bloatware on low end devices to work better and smoother.Thank you

          maybe not barrow anything but try to atleast send updates of android version to all of their android devices to fix flaws and also to optimize the ram to give it more speed the phone move slow wit a low ram memory and that for all low ram phones. galaxy core 2 especially and the galaxy young 2 and the J1 and the memory

            "Kwon Oh-hyun - who is also the vice chairman - was the highest paid this year with 3.82 billion won ($3.25 million) salary, down from 6.25 billion won he received last year."

            OH NOES!! from 6.25 billion down to 3.82 billion! The horror!

                Muthu, 17 Nov 2015Wow, someone thinks exactly like me. I have a slightly diff... morebecause samsung engineers are already aware about touchwiz issue. they know touchwiz is a bloated ui which requires huge amount of ram and often causes lag.
                Omitting touchwiz will make their devices run faster and smoother. if they do this to the non-flagships devices, that devices will perform better than the flagship devices with tw.
                Hence, the best solution is removing touchwiz from all devices (including flagships)

                  Vic, 17 Nov 2015It was expectable. Seriously, Samsung - why to put 3 or eve... moreI see the A range as a stop gap to prevent those Android users switching to Apple, and offering some real increases in specification for those tired of the miniscule increases in iPhones

                  The offer is premium build, they would be a commercial flop if they had NO memory expansion

                  Especialy the desing of the S6 edge, but a samsung builtiPhone is still an iphone
                  S5 or lG G4 for me.

                    But there comes a point where you don't need to upgrade.
                    the S4 is already 4G LTE, upgrading to a S6 is the same but BIGGER

                    Apple on the other hand, just seems to status thing, I can't explain it as I am immune,
                    All I have to to enjoy my phone more is /are apps

                      Problem is LOYALTY. Apple have developed this amongst its users but Samsung users are fickle. Complaints at the slightest inconvenience. Apple never had expandable storage and nothing different b/w 6 and 6s except FORCETOUCH. On the long run Samsung products are more useful. But one thing they have to do is reduce their product VARIETY and prices.

                      SAMMY STILL MAKES GREAT PHONES.

                          I'm sure they can make their money back if they go back to making good phones like the Note 4 and S5 instead of the terrible feature limited "Premium" phones like the S6 and Note 5

                            this is due to the low expansion to several important high population market.

                            @ developed country, Samsung is Top.

                                        choose a market for consumers is a big mistake the consumers needs to be free to choose what they rely what I think that don't sale the galaxy note 5 to the European market was a big turn of for consumers and a big lost for Samsung.
