      Example, Xiaomi, Realme, iQoo have a US$400-600 devices that have the best SOC such as Snapdragon 9400 & SD 8 Elite, why Samsung don't have this market segment?

      Samsung A series also need a CPU that TWICE better than what they offering now.

      Then....
      FAST CHarginng....

        In Nigeria, due to inflation, the price of Airpods can literally pay your house rent in a 1 Bedroom apartment for a year.

        Literally.

          I've got an S24U, my wife has the regular S24.
          I've had every single S device they made.
          I hate the Ultra devices, but I want the best camera. The Ultra camera is already not the best out there, but why must I take and L if I prefer smaller phones?!
          Just give me a regular S phone with the Ultra main sensor and Gorilla Glass Armor. Is it too much to ask?

            Samsung is losing in every place right now, I don't know what will be their strategy to change that but if they didn't do anything in best cases will be 3rd or 4th company in the most sold devices list

                Issue with Africa most phones are sold in gray market, which you won't find on these official data.

                  People might be dumb in general and in average, but these companies are pushing it. Not inovating at all, but constantly increasing prices. No wonder Xiaomi is gaining ground. Unfortunately, Xiaomi has started down this path as well. They are following Samsung and Apple by taking away features but increasing price.

                    Wow look at Transsion destroying Samsung right there!
