Samsung sells 3x more smartphones than Apple in China - Off-topic

Samsung apparently sold 3x more smartphones in China than Apple. Samsung gained 2x the market share during Q3 and Q4 of 2011. Apple is apparently going after China with the next release of the iPhone which will support the radio frequency for China Mobile.

Real time chat on how to team up for CL scams? Lol. J/k.

Maybe because Apple devices are too expensive + they restrict too much. Asians are more thirfty when it comes to buying stuff....we want the maximum value for our money ....

Not surprising. Galaxy S2 has lower price, better camera and display.

Bought an iPhone today

Lord help me....
No, it's not for me, I'm being nice, sister wanted on my family plan and she just HAD TO HAVE THE IPHONE. LIKE OMG!
/sigh
I tried to talk her into a $10 Evo Design from Amazon wireless, nah, let's spend money...we're only doing this to save money right?
Can't say I ever foresaw an iPhone entering my phone plan.
I dont blame her. I wouldnt choose an Evo Design over an Iphone either and i have an Epic Touch 4G
I tried Evo D, Evo3D, SGSII, Nex S, and Arrive, all were cheaper. Alwell, just still in shock that I bought what I bought today.
Why not tell her "my plan my choice of phone. Don't like it? get your own plan." Either way she would have stopped nagging and you would not be supporting apple

Well what a sweet brother you are.
Hope you at least get birthday or xmas gift credit for it.
Yikes... I live with 3 people using iPhones, and I hate it. I was offered one, but I stuck with my EVO 4g
Glad to see my Anti-Apple Brethens here!
I say you return it and get her a pay as you go samsung slider with a qwerty keyboard and 1" display. Girls gotta earn an i phone.

iphone is not all bad...i had a htc mozart and nw have a op. bl and iphone 4s.
each and every OS platform has something good and unique to offer. we got 2 see the good part of the OS that the manufacturers wanted 2 show us.
It goes like this.
Imagine that you dont know anything about mobile phones and stuff and you see someone walking around you with an iPhone.
Now imagine someone walking around you with HTC Evo..
And to be honest, my head would turn to the guy/girl with an iPhone.. Apple has it
Apple is a style, any other mobile phones have a great platform, great OS and stuff..

Apple topples to Samsung. No longer best selling OEM.

In a recent study by ComScore, it seems that Apple is on a very bad decline. The way things used to be were this:
Apple sold the most devices, Android was the most popular OS.
Now it seems Apple has even lost the title of most cell phones sold. Samsung is now the top dog in the mobile world and Android is STILL the most popular OS. This is not looking good for Apple. Not saying that I want Apple to crumble and fail though, as everyone knows, competition brings innovation and let's all be honest. Without Apple and the iOS, there is NO competition for Android.
Android OS dominates the Market:

Samsung dominates OEM sales:
Apple never sold more total phones than samsung. Apple has the single phone that sells the most, and they still do. Your graphic even shows that Apple is gaining in overall slice of the mobile pie vs Samsung. (Sammy shows a -.1 drop, while Apple shows a +2 gain over the same period of time...) So don't worry, competition is alive and well, until Apple gets a patent for that too. =P
I personally hate Apple so this makes me feel good owning an Android device.

Another reason to hate Apple

“Apple Store In Georgia Refuses To Sell iPad, iPhone To Farsi-Speaking Customer, Citing Company Policy;
A 19-year-old woman in Alpharetta, Ga., claims that her local Apple store refused to sell her anything after she was heard speaking Farsi with her uncle while she was trying to buy an iPhone and iPad....;"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobil...efuses-to-sell-ipad-to-iranian_n_1609734.html
That is ridiculous. As a result of sanctions, we in Iran don't have access to the Google Play Store as well as the Apple App Store. But at least, Google knows it has a huge market in Iran and tries to keep the Iranian customers happy, by officially adding Persian to Android 4.0+, they have an official Persian blog, and still a lot of their services are available to Iranians. But not selling your product to someone who spoke Persian, is just plain redundant and racist.
I hated Apple, but now my hate free deeper. A LOT deeper...
Let me know what you think.

Right...I'm closing this because we have enough of these Apple vs. Android threads and they never end well.

I like the nexus 4, because it's not Mic!!!

How happy, a phone that is not made in China, didn't believe it at the beginning, but that makes it a little but of special :thumbup:

Mic?
I don't really care if my device is made in Korea or China, these are advanced tech facilities that make nearly everything, not a whole lot to worry about.
Is this thread really necessary? *facepalm*

WTF?
This thread is a waste of space here on xda.
If I was a moderator I will close this right now!
And what is wrong with phones made in China?
The nexus 4 is modular so the only thing for sure is that it's assembled in Korea but every component should be made in any place.
But I agree with the rest of you; what's is wrong with Chinese made phones? There are some really impressive Chinese made phones (Jiayu, Meizu, Oppo, etc) and MTK processors are good enough for smartphones...
The technology you know about in China only scratches the surface. You should try living here

Lol.. China or Korea for me is the same ) Quality build is matter
I don't care where it's made. I support my Country, Canada, but I'm not going to slam China for making one of the best Nexus' I've had. Not classy dude.

We all know a Motorola device received KitKat even before Nexus users, here we see a purported Sony Xperia running Android 4.4.2, which is newer than even found on the Nexus 5 .
Is this the reason we bought Nexus? How unfaithful Google could be.

Most probably it's fake. Esp. the lighter 2 in the end of 4.4.2.

Fake.
Obvious fake.
Insult? Wtf is wrong with people these days. Clearly, its fake.

If you look closer that picture than you see that the font of the number 2 is not the same whit the rest so FAKE.
P.S. i saw some galaxy S3 clones and it said 4.2.2 but it was definitely gingerbread
Yeah, it looks fake.
This elitist attitude by some Nexus users is annoying. I thought that was supposed to die out with the Samsung fanboys when Google stopped updating for the Galaxy Nexus.
You're already getting good value for the price you pay. Why are you whining that Google is releasing (or helping to release) version updates faster for other devices, isn't that a good thing for the Android ecosystem. Is it necesary to have the latest version only for yourself to validate your self-worth and feel superior to others because you have a device with a unique brand name?
Can mods lock this thread please?
Also, now you know to not read news from GSMArena.
What does this have to do with last year's Nexus?
Even if it's not fake, it's unreleased and it's an incremental update. Who cares?
