      Gary, 28 Mar 2019Their business strategy is very similar, that's what you we... moreNo not even remotely close, there is nothing similar, Amazon doesn't make the products they sell they simply take a cut. Xiaomi has investors to answer to too, business is all about generating profit no investor is handing around for so many years now on mythical 5% margins and volume sales. The investors of Xiaomi are plenty happy because margins are much higher than the laughably low 5% publicly claimed. You then have to ask yourself, where is that extra money coming from? The Chinese govt. The Chinese govt in return gets backdoors on all their phones to gather information from around the world where these phones get sold.

      Oh and what's that you were saying? Amazon doesn't have the same value as Xiaomi?! LOL are you for real? Do you even know the market capitalization of Amazon? It's neck and neck with Apple but the shares are valued way way more than Apple. Xiaomi is like toothless cat next to Goliath that is Amazon. You are mainland Chinese aren't you? ;) Only the PRC can buy into such hogwash sold to them by their communist dictatorship. Putting an English name "Gary" infront of your Chinese names like most Chinese around the world do isn't fooling anyone.

The cuts is what matters to Amazon, profits on said products is not Amazon's concern, that purely the seller/OEM's problem. When Amazon offers discounts it's not them, it's the seller/OEM offering said discounts.

            Entirely different things. Try again.

                The phone market is changing, its gravitating more brands that are able to deliver a good experience for the fraction of the price. It is clear that this will end up hurting the big boys like Samsung and apple.

If you really must, then first check for custom ROM scene development support. If there is some, then get the phone and remove their crappy OSes. That's where the Chinese state likes to get their information from, so do what you must to deprive them of it. Once the Chinese state looses the ability to spy outside of china, the prices of these so called dirt cheap phones will go way up. Without state funding how can these companies stay afloat at cut throat prices? ;)

                  The "volume sales and low margins" story sold by the like of Xiaomi is classic snake oil BS. If anyone outside of China truley believes that hogwash, then I have this here nice bridge to sell....

                                Everyone here is off topic. The component market for Samsung Electronics is on decline. Not the mobile division. Got nothing to do with pricing whatsoever. Component market decline also mean the global market buying less from Samsung. Also mean every brand out there might experience decline because they not buying enough component so there will be less smartphone releases unless they buying component from other companies. That OLED part is quite surprising as I know there are more phone converting to oled from lcd. Maybe in 2nd quarter it could get better.
