Their cameras are exceptional and their socs lately since the first Mongoose are exceptional, the last one is the best of them in everything. You will see in the next flagship of Samsung with AMD RDNA 2 graphics, better than Adreno.
      They manufacture everything in their own plants with their technology without copies unlike Apple or Huawei. They are like the Japanese of the last 20 years and of the close future, not like the chinese which only know to spy and copy. And Apple also copy, they buy enterprises with financial problems than steal their patents of their own technologies and after they become owner oft that patents and assume them like their own patents and then use them like it was nothing like they were of them then retaliate and blackmail other big companies like Samsung and influence and buy the jurists of the tribunals to get and extort their money to weak that companies. Other times some of that rival companies invent some technology and then use it in their products but Apple use the same technology on their own products just after be invented by Samsung or LG and then file a court case claiming that technology is from them and those companies have to pay a reward to them (Apple) for stealing a thing which they (Samsung or LG) own invented and make patents of things invented by those companies.

        There are trlls spamming fake issues on social media, that is more a sign of how worried Apple is about the popularity of the S20 Ultra and Z Flip.

          In reference to the Huawei P40 Pro/Pro+ (as these are Huawei's key selling phones), it does not use Samsung parts. Display is sourced from BOE and the camera sensors are Sony-made. The standard P40 uses an LG display (I think).

          Huawei is already not using Samsung parts so Huawei doesn't need Greedsung to do its job.

Samsung already has several major faults in their flagship smartphones recently. Just look at the overpriced S20 series. From the screen with green tint issue and cameras with failing AF. Also has the same ol' lame Exynos chipset.

            Apple doesn't even need Samsung to compete well in the market. iPhone XR and 11 uses zero Samsung parts and sold a lot. Huawei P40 Pro and Pro+ also skips Samsung parts (BOE display) this time and also sold a lot

            Now Samsung phones cost more than its rivals, whether Xiaomi, Huawei, Apple, Oppo, etc. when they have inferior specs. What's the A80 for?

              A slight correction - the iPhone SE (2020) is not "IP68" certified, but rather IP67.

              Another correction - the iPhone SE (2020) doesn't have a "fast chipset", but rather the fastest ARM smartphone SoC currently available today.

              The reasons you outline are indicative of this phone becoming an outright massive success. The geniuses at Apple have once again struck gold.

              It wouldn't surprise me in the least amongst all the Q2 2020 financials of handset manufacturers, that Apple shall only be the one having an increased year-on-year growth in profitability. As for the others, they are at the mercy of a microscopic enemy.

                Its just not for everyone with its battery and display but I mean, who else has all at that price? Even Oneplus went $900 when it added IP rating and wireless charging

                      Anonymous, 30 Apr 2020Samsung enjoying Huawei Ban, Pathetic!!!By the way, Huawei have something to offer? Nothing. Samsung are the ones who develop and manufacture their cameras, their screens and their ram memories, in their own plants, Huawei, if they have plants are much less than Samsung. They haven't capacity to invent or engineer that things like Samsung. Not even capacity to manufacture like Samsung. Huawei only know to copy, nothing more else.

                        So, it's not Qualcomm's fault....Samsung increased prices, knowing that they will sell lesser units, but still make more profits.

                          Great, make it even bigger!!! So go together with Apple fans. Next time SD865 at 399 dollars with 1250mAh battery, single camera and ohhhhh it doesn't matter it's a Samsung!!!!!

                            [deleted post]I can be a slave according to you (LOL ... !!!) but if I am, I am not a silly slave. Show yourself here or whoever is the evidence that Huawei has spied on the US as its President says ... President who must believe that we are all fools except him :-DDDD

                              Apple doubles down on bargain bin phones and Huawei can't do anything unless they have something to copy.

                                  Also Samsung shipped tonnes of phones before the covd19 ban while other manufacturers are not even ready to open shop - Delayed everywhere!

                                    China banned tons of companies including Google way before U.S. banned Huawei.
                                    I don't get why they are complaining about the ban at the first place.
