It's not really fair to call the Z Fold 6 a loser. It still far outpaces the sales of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and the OnePlus Open (which I still have yet to see in the wild).

    Samsung never again. I tried samsung after a couple of generation's with the phone that they learned from the past. The product quality is mediocre and it is a scam to people like you and me to use hard earned money with bad products. I will watch and wave from an iPhone or a pixel. Wishing good luck to all frustrated people out there with this phone.

      jiyen235, 25 Dec 2024this list goes to show how poor the current mobile phone ma... moreThese lies you guys keep repeating time to time, Exynos S24 are cheaper worldwide, in Europe you can get both S24 and S24FE under €600, in USA FE goes below $500 time to time, in Middle East, Africa etc S24 is around $600, even India recently they got S24 enterprise for around $600..

      When was last time Samsung flagship was Cheaper than oneplus and Xiaomi flagship? I can't remember, but definetely this year Samsung has price advantage and it shows in sales number.

        Nameless, 25 Dec 2024Tab A9+ deserves to be a winner more than overpriced Tab S1... moreAgree, best budget tablet all around. Probably better pick than S9 FE and S10 lite even though it's cheaper.

          Franzzz, 25 Dec 2024Winner Galaxy S24 !?!?! Bah....First base S series device to enter top 10 of most sold devices since 2018, that's huge achievement, from S8 to S22 Sales were decreasing year after year, but S23 stop it and S24 significantly increase sales, that's a winner for me.

            Anonymous, 25 Dec 2024A16?... Come on...I would put A15 there because A16 is new but don't under estimate those model, you get them below $150, sometime as cheap as $120. They have Helio G99, Amoled display and ufs storage, in many markets it's cheapest decent phone you can get, that's why it sold more than 30M units.

              I'm not surprised that the fold 6 didn't sell that much, the same thing for the watch 7
              But I'm surprised that the S24FE is selling alot I didn't think that people will even consider it but yea nice job samsung

                YUKI93, 25 Dec 2024The S24+ turns out to be my favourite Samsung of 2024. I do... moreYou are comparing an almost 1-year-old phone with the latest Chinese competition. I don't agree with you that they are killing the Samsung S24U. Maybe their main camera is slightly better (+ better endurance because of new CPU), but that's it. I had Xiaomi for the last 10 years, but I have switched. Here is why:

                - €870 for 256 GB (Black Friday deal from the official Samsung store)
                - 7 years of software support
                - S-pen
                - eSIM
                - Anti-reflective flat screen
                - AI (though it does not support my language, so I can't use all the features)
                - Good battery life
                - UWB smart tags
                - The photo quality is comparable to the competition.

                The list is quite long. I was considering the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, but without eSIM? Also, poor battery life. Oppo and Vivo in November without global versions. iPhone 16 Pro Max is +€500. Huawei without Google services. So which phone exactly can beat the S24U for that price? None of the brands are as balanced as Samsung and also they cant beat APS-C cameras.

                    They sure won... In the "most boring" and "least innovative" category.

                      Agree on the Watch 7 being disappointing.

                                stingy Samsung is loser on all phones. It used to always use the best of best hardware for their flagships and now they don't even have the best displays that SAMSUNG ITSELF PRODUCES! Don't buy Samsung

                                  I don't know if I could call Galaxy S24 FE a winner in 2024. Yes, compared to previous FE it's a step up, but in 2024 picking S24+ would be real winner when S24FE is launched doing it a looser

                                    Loser: The writer who made Samsung A16 4G the winner

                                      Hope that other companies put more effort in to flip style phones. Oppo has some really good n flip series stuff that would sell amazingly well over in the west if they brought it over. Either through their own brand or through oneplus
