Grey Wolf, 29 Jul 2022Average consumer, which is majority of consumers by the way... moreTotal nonsense. Average consumer is very much price sensitive, and looks to get the best for his/her money. And in that case Samsung and Apple win.
Also we still read about many Chinese phones, but only a few get globally released and sold in the western markets, mainly in the USA. And if they do, the price is so high that they become incompetitive against Samsung and Apple. China and India might be the most populated countries, but USA and Europe make sales, because people are wealthier there. Then come South Korea and Japan, wealthy but small. Then China, India... rest of the world is irrelevant.

        Rly, 29 Jul 2022I rly can't understand Samsung is on top this year, al... moreNot really suprising. When Apple made trash phones that easily crumbled people praised it. When they made innovative ones, they get ridiculed and so Apple decided that let's just troll our consumers 'cause they'll definitely love it. Apple realized a long time ago that majority of the people have mush potatoes for brains and gimmicks alone would suffice to satiate them. Samsung also realizing that decided to follow Apple's lead despite being capable of being better than them. Everything is about profit afterall. Also Bad Publicity is still Publicity as long as it doesn't say anything bad about it's bUiLD qUaLiTY and cAmErAs and AvAilAbiliTY.

          NickValok, 29 Jul 2022I don't think Samsung is the best manufacturer, but no... moreAverage consumer, which is majority of consumers by the way, usually buys the same brand that are used too. Doesn’t matter good or bad, many people I know with Samsung or Apple phones don’t even look at other brands offerings. They don’t care about scandals, low performance chipsets, etc.
          The fact that people in here like us (more tech consumers), are commenting on different posts, doesn’t mean that much in the large scale of things.
          That is why Samsung and Apple are always on the top year after year. Average consumers know this two the most and trust this two the most. If it’s good or bad like this, doesn’t matter in the end. The general numbers are like this.

              No other makes as much money with mobile as Samsung.

              Oppo, vivo and xiaomi made about 33-35 billion in 2021.
              Samsung made 73.
              Apple made 198.

              How is any other suppose to match. Software support is not for free.

                  I don't think Samsung is the best manufacturer, but none of the Android manufacturers can do it as much as Samsung. Four Android updates and five-year security patches are something no other Android manufacturer can follow. I'm sorry for the lack of chipset performance, but I'm going to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon manufactured by TSMC for at least two years

                      Who are Omdia? i bet is a paid company to do this kind of "studies"...but who is filling their pockets? Probably Apple and Samsung as always.

                        I rly can't understand Samsung is on top this year, all those scandals, cheats and lies... And then the trashy Exynos chip.
                        I had 2 different S22 ultra (Exynos versions), both was ridiculous laggy, slow, flickering display etc.
                        Finally i order the Snapdragon version in Korea and imported it to Europe and this is a completely different mobile compared to Sammy Exynos version... A flagship, not like a lower midranger.

                        So i did not seen this coming in Q2 or this year.
                        After S22U ill wait some years buying Samsung again. To less updates vs the model before, when they release new flagships.
                        We need a bigger and harder competition between the different brands 🤔😳

                          iPhone sales grew both Q1 and Q2, they are reaching 250m yearly sales.
