Extremely well? Nice joke ” The mobile division recorded a decrease both in sales and operating profit during the holiday period. Q4 2020 saw only KRW2.4 trillion ($2.14 billion) in profit, which was 34% less than Q4 2019, and Samsung said this was due to weaker sales”

Wily2021, 28 Jan 202190 million iPhones in 1 quarter, just WOW! Let the haters hate ;)Very impressive indeed, it turns out that rock solid upgrades policy, customer support and focus on privacy initiatives pays off, android devices are just dumpster fire taking into account mentioned issues and it's nice that customers are starting to notice difference and just voting with their wallets. And I'm not biased, I don't even own Apple device.

... moreProud to be part of that 2020 Android billion club.
I could have easily bought the IPhone 12 for 800€... I decided against picking the A14 based iPhone 11 refresh. My mi 10t pro is so much better than the iPhone 12.
No complaints.

Anonymous, 28 Jan 2021I agree with you... Smartphone Manufacturer of the Year... moreSmartphone manufacturer of year, Apple for sure. They just sold more smartphones than anyone before EVER. And they did that by mostly selling high-end phones, just incredible. IPhone 12 user satisfaction also were 98% which means people are really happy with their devices.

Apple really pulled the sales off. Great work 👌
To be honest, iPhones were poorly built phones at least 3-4 years with mediocre build quality ago but Apple has improved a lot. I ditched my 6s for a Samsung Note Fan Edition (Asia model only), but then the iPhone 11 satisfied me. Was a lot better than my S10 but the screen.
Proud to be part of a premium ecosystem.

Samsung who mostly only sell low-end phones couldn't even sell more than 73m, that's very alarming for them.
