Anonymous, 26 Oct 2012with the number of blind followers, I am not surprised! Find me another device which is superior at the time of the S3's launch...

I choose phones based on raw power, Samsung has been king of the hill since the Galaxy S.

A company that overcharges for everything but still has supporters proves how iBlind they are! For Samsung fans, they keep coming back to Samsung for the modernization and improvement they come up with every new phone. Not just taller basically!

          Samsung has their own zombie followers. They buy them even Samsung makes the ugliest phones. Samsung phones don't have best reception, call quality, camera, screen, and their display is not the best for viewing outdoor.

                Anonymous, 26 Oct 2012So, Apple makes a massive profit and the fanboys get upset.... moreSo...
                Go take a look at Apple's markup on products. Samsung did great this quarter DESPITE they don't overcharge as much as Apple does, not because they also do.
                That's the main reason why some people is dlighted with these results. This company stays strong and makes great feature packing products to sell them at reasonable (not low but at least reasonable) price points.
                Confront selling price vs R&D/manufacturing/distribution/advertisement costs in both cases and you'll see the differences. Putting Apple and Samsung in the same boat isn't fair.

                  So, Apple makes a massive profit and the fanboys get upset. Samsung makes a massive profit and the fanboys wet their pants with pleasure. What exactly do you guys consider a good profit margin? Let me guess, whatever it is for Samsung right? You samsung guys are copying the apple fanboys the same way Samsung copied Apple.

                    lell0, 26 Oct 2012samsung $7.4 billion out of $47.5 billion apple $8.3 bil... moreits bcoz samsung makes less profit out of their products while greedy apple makes more profit from their products... the average rate that costs them in producing the product is much less n they charge much more for it to the consumers while samsung charge less for the benefit of consumers... they look on the pocket of their customers... thats y samsung has more fans than apple though apple has more of operating income

                              Refreshing to see also a non-american company doing well in this market. But there is room for more non-american companies.
