Not a big deal. Who needs a phone or wants to upgrade will buy anyway.

    Anonymous, 18 Apr 2023And with more and more phones no longer have both headphone... morePeople justifying the removal of the headphone jack and sd card should just look here.
    People who buy iphones can buy iphones.
    People who bought samsung wanted the 3.5 mm jack, sd card slot and charger included and not some iphone wannabe. The A34 and A54 will be huge flops without pricecuts of atleast 25 percent.
    Till then people will stick to their old phones and repair them if necessary. Or they might simply shift to buying an iphone. An iphone se 2023 costs approximately the same as the A54.

        Rambhat, 18 Apr 2023As people hold on to their phones for longer….. I think by ... moreI would like to see it categorized by Private and Corporate buyers
        I think it would show a completely different picture and nobody would wonder anymore why Samsungs cheap A model is in the top 10.
        Also categories like under payed with contract/with cash, with trade in/without...
        Then we can start to get a correct picture

                  Same sales decline with laptops and tablets. The whole tech sector is oversaturated with products that only see tiny improvements each year and with cost cutting some things actually removed! Hardly any innovation and very little reason to upgrade. I remember in the 2000’s every year had a huge jump in specs.

                    Still happy with my 2019 LG V50 and my 2020 LG Wing. I still see no need to replace them for the time being.
