YoloBS, 14 Nov 2024Good to see moto doing great in india . Samsung need to cre... moreYou were making sense until the last sentence. People just don't are about headphone jack now. Literally everyone i see has a ear buds even it's those painfully mediocre ear killing $5 ones. Very few care about headphone jack unfortunately. If you think, a headphone jack and sd card slot can solve their problem, you're wrong then

As a OnePlus customer I... moreHere's the context:
Majority of OnePlus users are tech savvy people. If they have problem, they will post in OP community. But if there's no problem, most likely you won't hear their opinion on the websites.
On the other hand, majority of Oppo and Vivo users don't really care about specs, as long as it works. But even if there's a problem, most are not tech savvy or don't bother to post in community sites.
There's your dose of real life situation.

BBK has almost 50% of the market from 10K to 160K INR with many phones in the mid range segment.
Samsung had a good brand value but no options under 30K. A series hasnt caught on with Exynos being a question mark.
Last good Ax was the A52s. A55 looks good but you can get a 8 Gen 2 Iqoo for the same price.......

Not a shocker right. Samsung phones dont match well either with flagships or with budget/mid range. Vivo/Oppo are dominating low end/midrange along with Redmi/Realme. At flagship level most go for iphones or ones going for camera phone will go for Vivo or 14 ultra kind of phone. Samsung needs to innovate to get back in the game and I dont think that is their focus.
One Plus is the other OEM whose phones have gotten expensive without providing the same value. Plus all issues with recent phones.

Vivo will displace Samsung from this and part of Europe, in fact it already does! Not because Samsung is a bad brand, but because of how greedy they became and the worst thing, they think they are the apple of android

[deleted post]The article isn't even about a Western market. It's about the India market, which the 2nd largest and most competitive smartphone market. The US market is the worst market for smartphone consumers and about to get even worse because of orange face and his protectionism. The EU market doesn't engage in as much protectionism as the US. Samsung is an Eastern brand, not West. If the West only permitted Western brands being sold, everyone in the West would only be using iPhones and Pixels. You have any proof that any of the Chinese smartphone brands are state funded? Or did you just make that up?

As a OnePlus customer I can see hundreds of Indians complaining on OP community, might be the same for Oppo and Vivo. So, if for them OP, Vivo and Oppo are so bad, how come they are leaving Samsung?, shouldn't them be moving from those brands to Samsung?

Samsung is acting like they are competitor to Apple, so their product range also like that.
Fact is nobody cares about samsung.
A $700 iphone or $700 samsung? 80% will choose iphone.
A $200 samsung or Vivo? More than 50% will choose vivo.

Rather odd not including the sub-brand's figures with the parent brand. Iqoo should be added onto Vivo, Realme onto Oppo and Poco onto Xiaomi.

As for stealing, maybe that is karma for developed nations that have taken advantage of smaller nations so the former has a high QoL standard lmao.

Now imagine if on... moreI'm glad they got that "brand" out of the race bc we would be in the same situation we were in 2017-2018: Huawei just copying stuff over from Apple and pretending they were doing it better, instead of doing something original. We also wouldnt have gotten breathing space for Oppo & vivo.
Here in my country, those 3 had the market flooded with low end devices being released pretty much every quarter. Samsung was spamming their J lineup at the time, and Huawei doing the same with their Y series lineup. It was terrible. Nowadays, its way better and more cleaned up. There are more options that are easy to tell apart.
