Samsung is actually launching M51 phone with Snapdragon chip. That too Snapdragon 730( https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-m51-launch-russia-support-pages-live/ ) for certainly less than Rs. 25,000.

    Foo, 17 Aug 2020Doesn't look like any iPhoneAnd why is that?
    People who don't use apple products doesn't know that they are talking about? 😄

You're the mouthbreather for failing to consider even the purchasing power of currency. Workers will be paid lower than those in China, of course, but those in China made thousands of CNY a month, well worth their time and completely enough to live on. Know that over half the population in China have family income per capita of less than 1000 CNY a month, many farmers make hundreds a month on average and can still get by on that. Indian labor is yet far cheaper than Chinese and so is their price of commodity, so it's a win for India, a win for Samsung, but a loss for China.

            Some mouthbreathers might consider this some great victory for India, it's not. It's only a victory for the worst form of Capitalism.

            Samsung's prices won't suddenly drop, get real. We consumers will see no gains from this move.
            The Indian workers will not be paid 1st world salaries, it most likely will be less than the current Chinese sweatshop salaries paid in Samsung plants.
            The Indian government in power, whoever it is at the time of the press release(s), will pocket some "tenders" kickback and screech the "jobs jobs jobs" byline for the next 10 years even as the plants get downsized.
            And the only people who will see the most massive windfall gain from this will be Samsung's board and shareholders. Chaebol Convictedson and his ilk will make bank, while another underdeveloped country desperate for jobs gets shafted, hard, by Capitalism from every angle and is bled dry in a time of dire needs.

              lacp, 17 Aug 2020The Samsung flagship smartphones aren't made of plasti... moreYou clearly do not underdtand what a flagship is, s flagship is THE TOP of the line, there is only ONE in each series, currently for samsung, the S20 ultra, and for the note family, the note 20 ultra, that is, just 2 flagships, one for each line

                Samsung planned $200 above phone in India. Spec of medium range phone will be:
                Display-Amoled, gorilla glass
                Battery-6000mah
                Size-6.4inch above
                Camera-64MP
                RAM-6GB starting
                Pubg-Smooth+Extreme
                40wt fast charging
                .
                .
                .
                Cpu-Exynos 9611
                Price-Rs.25000/- 😂😂😂
                Oh wait one more, in the last 6 month samsung invest 6.8Billion+ in R&D so the price slightly change:
                Rs.30000/-

                  After skirmishes all over Asia with almost every neighbour, and the outbreak, companies are moving out of China and people want to consciously move to products not made there either.

                  There are its biggest trading partners:
                  United States: US$418.6 billion (16.8% of China’s total exports)
                  Hong Kong: $279.6 billion (11.2%)
                  Japan: $143.2 billion (5.7%)
                  South Korea: $111 billion (4.4%)
                  Vietnam: $98 billion (3.9%)
                  Germany: $79.7 billion (3.2%)
                  India: $74.9 billion (3%)
                  Netherlands: $73.9 billion (3%)
                  United Kingdom: $62.3 billion (2.5%)
                  Taiwan: $55.1 billion (2.2%)
                  Singapore: $55 billion (2.2%)
                  Malaysia: $52.5 billion (2.1%)
                  Russia: $49.5 billion (2%)
                  Australia: $48.1 billion (1.9%)
                  Mexico: $46.4 billion (1.9%)

                  Every Asian country in this list, Australia and the United States want to move away from dependence on China, due to military issues and economic tussles. Hong Kong is going to collapse if Europe and the Rest of the world don't afford it all the trade benefits it currently does.

                  So, I guess we will see more smartphones made in other Asian countries and even in Mexico. Mostly due to the price advantage, and also due to a rising talent pool of very able management, and newer technologies emerging. I am guessing Taiwan will also pick up more high end production and also move much if its production to other countries.

                        Bogdan, 17 Aug 2020Those Chinese brands have a bad business model. Not saying ... moreYou are looking only at the software updates yes samsung provide 3year update but what about cheap build??what about slow exynos processor?? What about bad customer care service??.People buy chinese specs for what they provode the hardware that they give yes they don't provide good software updates but hardware is preety solid.Mid range exynos 9611 is so slow if they provode wxynoa 880 then the sell will be much higher

                          Bogdan, 17 Aug 2020Those Chinese brands have a bad business model. Not saying ... moreExactly. Why I won't buy a Chinese Brand phone.

You are foolish with that arguments. Where is a Samsung smartphone of 1000 euro or more, or 1200 euro, is made of plastic? With aluminium in the sides around the phone and Gorilla Glass in front and behind. These last ones, the Note 20, and the Note 20 Ultra with Victus Gorilla Glass which is far more resistant then the Gorilla Glass 6. You are here only to upset the people. Go away troll.
