Anonymous, 28 Apr 2023Literally nobody cares about the sd card 💀 im sick and tire... moreAlso, why there are five people who thumbs up to your worthless comments? If you really think microSD card is outdated, why would Samsung launch a new line of EVO Plus and PRO Plus microSD card earlier this month? 🤦🤦

        I wonder if Samsung will keep enjoying similar snartphone sales like the S23 series when they'll start using Exynos again for S24 series.

          SD card makes all your data extra safe!

            In an age where phones cost 1000k+, it comes as no surprise the significant plunge in profit and all others are following suit. Phones from 3/4 years ago within the price range of 800 are still on par with phones that costs well over 1000k.

              Anonymous, 28 Apr 2023Literally nobody cares about the sd card 💀 im sick and tire... moreWell, the modern solution is store it on someone elses Computer for the prize of the SD card but every year. (The solution kf backup storage when your phone breaks, you can have 2TB internal storage but if the phone breaks, you got just save what is on it, it's just lost.

              + You can only access it when you have connection, which you have to pay again for, as you need bigger data Volume.

                    Anonymous, 28 Apr 2023Despite the price rises with every new model, their profits... moreSamsung increased prices but almost immediately after launch they need to give rebates and other goodies to push sales. All those interesting trade-in deals for the S22 and 23 series also eat into net profits.

                          Anonymous, 28 Apr 2023they the one who remove sd card first they the one who reap 🤣Literally nobody cares about the sd card 💀 im sick and tired of seeing the same comment on every single new phone model, just accept the fact that its gone and is obsolete compared to modern storage solutions.

                            [deleted post]I'm not even a native english speaking person, can I not have issues with understanding an article once in a while? Geez man.

                              Dr. Watson, 28 Apr 2023That's overall profit. They sell more than smartphones... moreYeah, I got it now, the whole article confused me. Oh well, can't change that comment anymore. Still tho, 95% drop of profit is horrible.

                                Anonymous, 28 Apr 2023Of course our Anti-Samsung dude "notafanboy" like... moreIt was still somehow very confusing, to me at least. Sorry for that, I clearly misunderstood the whole article.

                                  DarlingYext, 28 Apr 202395% drop of profit is honestly not what I would call "... moreThat's overall profit. They sell more than smartphones, remember.

                                    I want to know articles like this for other brands like Sony, Asus, Motorola, Nokia etc.. Oh Yes, they only sell 1-2 countries, why do we need to know?

Samsung sells a LOT more than smartphones, those sales are not the reason for plummeting profits, the damn title already states that, OVERALL profits are plummeting.

                                        Despite the price rises with every new model, their profits are down. Strange it is
