        Bbk and Transsion are now winning asian markets, samsung is falling because of releasing mediocre overprice midrange, and still the greenline trauma is not over its still happening on latest flagships.
        iphone have greenscreen issue but its easier to repair compare to most android devices.

            One probable cause for samsung being down to 19% market share from 30% in the 600-800 dollar segment is because iphone 15 which released only 4 months earlier than samsung S24 costs 15,000 rupees less than the S24. This is a significant difference. For that difference in amount most people would go for the iPhone....even people who had samsung phones.

              Although Oppo or Vivo are market leaders now, I believe they aren't the primary ones eating into Samsung's market share (quite possibly gaining share at the expense of Realme and OnePlus). Prospective Samsung customers are probably being eaten into by Motorola in the budget segment and Apple (and Pixel to some extent) in the premium segment.

                  I don't know why tech savvy people assume that the average consumer gets confused.. the average consumer doesn't have all the data to get confused with in the first place

                            Samsung is doing it himself.
                            Demanding maximum giving minimum. That's samsung moto.

                              Samsung will be back in business in India if they launch a new M phone with good snapdragon chip like they did few years ago but in flagships that won't be the case if they don't decrease their prices specially considering the battery life is worse in base S24 series compared to base iphone16.

                                In recent years, Vivo has been developing innovative products in the mobile market, with a particular focus on premium design. Samsung is also pursuing a similar strategy, which could be one reason for its success. However, Samsung is currently working on innovations in its AI module, which may take more time to reach a leading position in the world.

                                  Motorola up 149.5%.
                                  Their goal is to lead in India and be top3 global before 2030

                                    In the premium segment 80% people buy iPhones only 15% buy the S24 series and that is when these phones are great but they could have amazing only if Samsung would stop cutting costs like it's a budget phone. S24 FE is a good phone for the price but Exynos so a lot of people go for OnePlus instead. And in the lower segments is where Samsung makes most of its profit from the country as they sell some of the most overpriced yet painfully bloated phones with embarrassing processors. Yeah doesn't help you gain respect.

                                      I think you need to get your facts straight.

                                      "BBK Electronics still retains control over its main subsidiaries, including Oppo, Vivo, Realme, OnePlus, and iQoo. Despite recent restructuring efforts, especially in regions like India, BBK continues to oversee these brands as part of its broader corporate strategy. This restructuring mainly involves establishing separate operational entities to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize risks, especially amid increased scrutiny of Chinese firms in some international markets."
