I know samsung flagships don't sell like hot cakes, but I'm surprised a brand new galaxy S couldn't even sell more than 6.7 millions (lowest number in the chart for reference) in the launch's initial 3-4 months

      They have the worst choice of phones to choose from.
      And people are locked by the carrier system where only popular phones aka phones available on All carriers sell the most.

      And with the increasing amount of brands being banned, there is a scarcity of 200-300$ phones which just work without any hassles. This is why these US reviewers can't stop orgasming over Nord, Pixel and iPhone SE.

          Anonymous, 09 Oct 2020Most people might want iPhone, they just can't afford ... moreMost people don't want to spend above 200-300 dollars on a smartphone coz a 200-300 dollar smartphone in 2020 gets the job done for them. 
          Just like Most people don't need to buy the most expensive car to travel from one place to another. 
          An average car gets the job done. 

          Android is the OS of choice on smartphones and much superior to iOS as represented by the 80% marketshare.
          All I can offer you is a box of tissues so that you can wipe your tears after the brutal beating that Apple took in the smartphone and PC war, both of which Apple lost.

            Mlx, 07 Oct 2020Yes, because apple doesnt make non-flagship devices (except... moreIt indicates that the market sees no value in android flagships and that when people want to spend more than $500 they feel Apple is the brand to spend on hence Apple own the premium segment.

Last Q 87% sold phones were $200 phones. Apple alone owns over 50% of over $400 phones. Which pretty much shows when people are able to buy more expensive phones their first choice is iPhone. Everytime when Apple release cheaper phone they will get more of the market because more people can afford one.

                      Our? Based on this article very few have them :D i wonder what's wrong with those so called cutting edge tech phones. They should be best selling phones right?

                      Maybe people just don't want stuff like 100x space zoom :D

                          Little Wily you are just frustrated that your 1000 dollar purchase isn't the most technically advanced while being handicapped instead.
                          Like a handicapped guy watching someone run, they are simply jealous.

                          Nothing wrong with stating how our android devices are, especially with all latest cutting edge tech. Combined with a superior ecosystem of apps, Just stating facts... Sorry if I touched a nerve... I Guess what I said is true.

                            Even no phone from Huawei like P40 or even P30 Pro. Ironically, even Nokia is again going to the wrong direction. They did not sport 3.5mm Jack in their PureView 9 model. What a shame.

                              Agree. Not a Single So-Called Flagship Phones. No S20, No Oppo Find X2, No OnePlus 8 or so. This happens when you ditch 3.5mm Jack for no reason and still think that common man is fool and they will rush to buy your phone without basic features and spend 100s of $$$s into keep buying connector or Bluetooth Earpods. Even if someone is buying earpods, they are buying Apple one and not the one from Samsung, Oppo or OnePlus. I am happy to see this actually.

                                SizN80, 07 Oct 2020Lol,not a single android flagship there as per usual.Great ... moreYes, because apple doesnt make non-flagship devices (except xr, se...). Only few models per year and all of them are in the flagship price range. And people are not usually bying flagships. They are usually buying some more budget friendly devices, if we talk about android.

                                Therefore, the fact that samsung flagships are not on the "most popular sold phones" list doesn't indicate that samsung (or any android phone company) flagships are worse than apple devices.

But hiding V making up numbers is a different conspiracy story. But I can't imagine any Android phone with no GMS, no Visa/Mastercard support is going to do well in most developed countries, regardless of the brand.

                                      Besides iPhone 11 with 720p display doesn't qualify as flasghip just Coz of flagship processor.
                                      It's a Budget oriented product for ppl who want Apple logo.
