              out from 195 , Xiaomi official store only
              available at 37 countries. They successfully can
              shipped 146 millions device to fullfill the high demand .
              This is sign xiaomi achievement is in good shape compared
              with other android oem. This is evidence , people around the
              globe still want xiaomi product in their hand even not available
              in their country .They provide variety to consumer need .

              Samsung [the giant electronic] store available everywhere 150 countries across the globe
              and just only ship[ed 226 millions smartphone .This number alone not convinced that samsung are
              market leader in smartphone world right now . And their galaxy S23 series only
              15 - 17% [ 28 millions ] from total shipment last year .That shown the s series demand is week, most people
              dont care about it .
              All information can be google here Gsmarana.com

                Samsung keeps false advertising in their marketing. Why support a dishonest non transparent brand that believes in profit over life. They will reap what they sow.

                    Talking about S24 series, this may be limited to what they can do right now and hopefully SamsungXGoogle change its T&C.

                        You forgot one major important thing.
                        Company it self gives the price.
                        MetaQuest 3 for example is 630 euros.
                        Same thing by Apple is 3500.
                        Litterary both are the equal.

                        LIke with the Yoghurt. If company A decides to sell it for 10 euros even if is made from low or average quality components its their decision.
                        They will make for example 900% profit on something which cost 10 cents to make and should be sold for 1 eur but is sold for 10 euros.
                        Sorry tired for some math but hope you get the point.

                        All prices are what people willing to pay for. Just like with auctions.

                                Reading specs (24GB ram, 1TB storage, 240W charging, imx989) does not make chinese phones as costly as these ones.

                                - tons of public shelf components
                                - many domestic components
                                - most components dont pay import taxes because they are made in China already.
                                - wages and costs in SK and Japan are higher.

                                  Cpt.Power, 28 Jan 2024Bro since when price is equal to quality??? Tesla EV cars ... moreThere is reason one product costs less than the other.
                                  Not is only "profits".

                                  Little analogy for you. Think of yogurt.

                                  Yogurt A is €1,00
                                  Yogurt B is €5,00

                                  Both are same weight, same type (like regular or greek), but different brands.

                                  There is no way Yogurt A is made out of higher quality milk than B.
                                  It surely going to have more fat and more sugar to become "more attractive".
                                  Small dairy company will never have factory as good as Danone or Nestlé.
                                  They cannot afford milk from cows that have best diet possible (yes, diet has impact on milk quality and composition).

                                  This applies to many stuff. Do you think if you start sports gear company tomorrow, you can afford same materials used by Puma, Nike, Under Armour, Adidas?

                                  Screen that costs $35-40 is not on pair with one that is $90.

                                  Exynos is cheaper and worse than snapdragon.
                                  Isocell is cheaper and worse than exmor.

                                  What a coincidence.

                                    Anonymous, 28 Jan 2024S Ultra costs more than any chinese to be made. Same appl... moreNot it isnt, all of them cost anywhere from £450-600 (most of it is for the Chipset, if its in house parts its cheaper) in manufacturing costs per unit, like when people used to say this about apple years ago against samsung then you find out iphones manufacturing costs were the same as samsungs yet charged 20-50% more (using almost 50% of samsungs parts in the devices).

                                    Its the brands value and the profit margins the company wants to make, nothing more.

                                      LVBurner1, 28 Jan 2024Reading these comments, after three days with my new S24, a... morePlease dont fall in to the trap of "omg a.i. By samsung is revolutionary" , it really REALLY isnt.

                                      Unfortunately having a flat screen, boxed off and rigid phones are more prone to shattering purely based off how energy dispersion happens (nowhere for the impact of forcr to escape to other than the weaker glass which samsungs glass isnt even close to being the strongest, barely makes the top 5).

                                      Also using that logic, i paid £0 for my find x5 the year it was released by using my pixel 6 pro as a trade in (find x5 is night and day better, my mates pixel 7 has issues and only real benefit is the better speakers, pixels have EXCELLENT speakers). Thats how samsung get you, convince you that you get these amazing deals by trading in a year old model they sold to make the current gen phones sell/look better when in reality you're total outgoing was more than just getting the s24u outright (on contract its worse with samsung and apple, you'll be paying about 30-50% more than the models total value).

                                        Anonymous, 28 Jan 2024It is still unclear T&C anyway. If so, what happens to ... moreA.I will be free for years? What? Its baked in to the Chipset not just magical pixies keeping your phone running and doing things like live translate aswell etc, you do know the tensor chips that samsung manufacture, exist and have been pushing A.I. as their focal point for years now, my literal redmi note 5 ai dc from 2017 had it in its name.
