This is really bad timing for Samsung to bring out their mega-priced Galaxy S10s.
They're scr*ed if they don't make any strategic changes.

Well a sign that innovation has almost stopped, let us hope 2019 will bring interesting stuff to the market....
Minor incremental changes and rising prices is not what entice people to buy....

Chines companies are doing well because they don't charge astronomical prices like other companies do.
