Used to be Samsung was genuinely trying to compete with what Chinese handsets had to offer in emerging markets with phones like M32, now they just want to sell the boring ass North American budget phone experience to these emerging markets like they are fools - basically trying to sell garbage that only sells because it is propped up by the stupid US market where there is truly no choice

Minu, 21 Jan 2025Only because of having historical records.
By that regard... moreNot quite true.
Nokia may have bigger sales of feature phones (like what you mentioned above) than Samsung.
But, Samsung has far bigger sales of smartphone than Nokia.

By that regard, Nokia is the biggest phone brand because of having extreme shipments from their Penny (1100/1101/1108/3110/3210/3310/3330/3390/5110/5185/5510) and Maxwell (2650/3100/3105/3108/3120/3125/3200/3205/3587/5100/6100/6108/6200/6205/6220/6225/6560/6585/6610/6610i/7210/7250/7250i) series of phones, which is unmatched by any brand.

Samsung needs to correct its prices. In my circle we stopped buying Samsung phones because they don't offer value for money anymore. You're just paying a premium for the brand name.

Hard truth for Samsung is that unless they become innovative again,they're gonna loose their market share just like Nokia,Sony,HTC of past.
In premium segment,Sammy can't beat Apple,its a fact.
In Entry & Midrange share,Chinese are far ahed hardware wise.
Samsung's saving graces are their Software,Brand recognition & Global availability.
Chinese need to focus more on their Software & Global availability to make their presence in premium segment.

It can be seen in the way Chinese brands copy the iOS aesthetic and your beloved Samsung copies from iPhones heavily as well.
Chinese brands don't need to dream about being as respected as Samsung, but they do dream about having as many consumers as Apple. Everyone wants more market share/profit, that's just business man.

Sales number of last year only shows that Samsung sold most of Android flagship with ±40 million units sold, which is higher than any chinese flagship brand, but still lower than iPhone sales.
