And the vanilla S24 gets the cold shoulder.

    Jonah Hugh, 30 Jan 2024Huawei P30, Huawei P40, Xiaomi 13 which i have alsoNa AF on P30 and P40. Xiaomi 13 bloats them to 32 mpx, without any benefits.

      The shipment data of somebody here cannot show the interest of people to a particular brand. It shows the quantity only, we have no true reason why. We, ordinary people have only a prediction.

The 226 milllion samsung shipment .that does not sound overhelming based on their availbility around the globe. This brand has been overhype to the max and yet people still did not want to buy their flagship s series.conclusion is , this brand is not market pioneer when come consumer smartphone demand and fulfill . The yearly s series very low shipment numbers already can tell the whole story.

          Do you ever think that Xiaomi (brand any brands) ships its phone to overload the market, in order to make the brand famous or any purposes. The company do not care whether its phones is already sold or unsold.
          Absolutely, Apple (and maybe Samsung) do not want to do this anymore.

          That is only opinion, the truth is only belong to them.

                Talking about the shipment, can I say that Samsung may limit its product in the market so there is no overload products and fit with the demand? So that they can use the unused component to create the new product?

                Well...in the end of the day, there are many reasons why the shipment may be lower than others.

                      Since then Samsung sells only garbage which had no real innovation. Same design, same bloatware brurs in every photo, green line in most samsung screens which they never fixed.
                      A hardware lenses bug which they tried to solve by software update which is equal to a plaster on a broken leg.
                      I am not here to bash samsung but apart price increase and new exynos and worse ram they did nothing worth having Samsung phones.
                      10 years ago their flagships were 500 eur now after 10 years the manufacturing price is 500 selling price is 1000-2000 eur.
                      Most other competitors did better job at much less price and chinese cpmponents apart the cheaper price proven they a re better than Samsung ones.

                          I'm waiting for few months, when the retailers will give discounts. So I'll definitely buy a S24 Ultra.

                            YUKI93, 29 Jan 2024Not really if you have well-optimized software. Samsung and... moreBro you funmy Samsung and well optimized.
                            M51 for example is 7000 mAh cell and erndurance is worse than for example Sony V 10 which is around 400 eur price with 5000 mAh.
                            S24 endurance rating is garbage many else phones without samsung bloatware have equal or even smaller battery and last much longer.
                            Same goes for bigger ones like S24 plus and Ultra.
                            There is probbably no worse ram and disk space management than in Samsung phones.
                            Even some chinese brands preform lot better to be honest.
                            But i am not here to bash on Samsung just giving my personal feelings.

                              Maria, 29 Jan 2024I assume that your data is correct. From this, this shows ... moreNobody going to say xiaomi is bette than samsung.But samsung yearly shipment number was poor because their store was available any country in this world. So this brand did not win any arhievement in the smartphone history .Nothing to be proud. Globally they has been well known as copycat brand .the s ultra now look similar to previous SOny Xperia Xz Premium design language.Peope will think that was look like a Sony smartphone.

                                The S24 Ultra is just a minor upgrade over the S23 Ultra yet it costs $250 more than an equivalent S23 Ultra.

                                Then, the S24 is outclassed by the OnePlus 12.

                                And the S24+ loses its battery life advantage over the S24, which was the selling point of the plus version.

                                The only phone I'd recommend here is the S24 if you are specifically looking for a compact phone, or the S24 Ultra when the real selling price inevitably drops down the line.

                                  From this, this shows the quantity of phone shipped only, not the quality of phone, and not the reasons behind, etc.
                                  The conclusion is that Xiaomi is better than Samsung is invalid. But from your data, I knew that people just want cheap phones. I do not think that Xiaomi's flagship is sold more than half of the number of shipment

                                  I like to write down to explain it as this is my work but I think nobody here care about this and I do not want to be a teacher LOL

                                    Anonymous, 29 Jan 2024Nah bruh. 😂 This is funny, Samsung blows all of them. combined chinese major brand units sold. samsung sales are trash especially rhe s series is very low demand .
                                    The galaxy display also crap when compared side by side to XPeria.

                                      From the battery tests, the S24 range is behind the S23 lineup and the series in decline no doubt. Scamsung have run out of ideas and most of these AI features aren't even AI. Charging customers for the "AI" features is the final straw and should be met with full force of distain from the market.
