The main problem with these companies is, they make the new model before people review the previous one. New models should not emerge annually. May be every 2 years they should offer the new one...

      NAND-roid, 26 Dec 2020This comment section is full of d***bs people its so funny ... moreBy looking at your comment, obviously u know nothing. This year alone, i bought 5 phones, yes , 5. All of which are from Xiaomi. Why u ask? Bcos of the reasonable price and quality.

      I bought redmi note 9 x 2 for my parents (they want it)
      Redmi 9 for casual use
      Poco f2 pro
      And mi 10t pro.

      Samsung phone never appear in my mind, bcos i know they are overpriced, and of low quality.. especially those which came with exynos rubbish, which lags

          Of course, bcos Samsung devices are now basically overpriced crap. AND try and put more exynos equipped devices in your store, i assure you will have bad sales

            Very good news😍😍

              They have been releasing more expensive phones, sell less but as long as revenue and profit stays high it’s all good.

                  I was a Samsung user from Galaxy S3 to S8 and ditched the brand due to high prices. I'm now using Huawei with a more reasonable price.

                        Global smartphones in general slowed down + COVID + Samsung Over Pricing the 20 series, "they shot themselves in the foot" with over pricing.

                          Number of costumers willing to pay more than $800 on phones decrease every year.
                          Base version of S20 (8/128GB) was $999 in USA. More than that in every other market it was sold.
                          20 Ultra 16/512GB was $1600 in USA, now imagine price abroad.

And all phones manufactured outside of China came to a halt for many weeks on 2020. So, it's not a big deal. But if non chinese OEMs wanna survive they have to move out.

                                    No wonder, with those ridiculous prices. Who do they think they are, Apple? If Samsung doesn't pull it's head out of it's own arse and adjust their prices to their bugfest phones they will loose badly to the chinese.

                                      Because of reasonable prices, thats why.

                                      Nobody is jealous, but we'r not sheeps like most of consumers in certain country.

                                        Let's see if their profits dropped by 10% as well. But seeing the trend of increasing prices, I doubt this will be the case, and Samsung will be happy selling "only" 270 milion units.
