The reason why folding phones haven't taken off is almost entirely due to price. Like most people, I'm not paying $1800 a folding phone, and $3000 for a 3 screen phone is even more ridiculous, even my entire gaming PC setup doesn't cost that much.
ive not paid more than £200 for about 10 years now, just get a decent refurb when my phone breaks and get another 2-5 years out of it, the jump in tech isnt as dramatic phone to phone as it was 10-15 years ago so its not worth it
I've had a couple folding phones over the last 4-5 yrs. I've paid outright and never paid more than $800 for the entire bundle after trade-ins and rebates. I could've gotten the Fold 6 for under $500 with trade-in US if I'd jumped on this most recent sale before Nov 1. The issue isn't the price as much as there's only micro improvements, if any at all, to justify the increase from previous Iteration, which - while better than other foldable phones, hasn't reached the potential it could be at. Samsung and other tech companies are now on this AI train while not improving, or unable to improve hardware.

It all changed when DJ Koh stepped down as the CEO and was replaced by TM Roh. Samsung completely abandoned their popular budget and midrange series of phones and started focussing solely on cutting-edge expensive flagships. In Asian markets (India and China most importantly) they lost the budget and midrange market share to competitors which offered far superior value. They need to regain their strong foothold in affordable non-flagship segments along with the excellent trajectory they already have for the flagships.
They need affordable flagships, longer lasting too! Both my wife's S21+ and my S22+ are having significant downgrades in the quality of pictures, on top of a slower phone, and less battery time on top. These were really expensive phones!!! Samsung should definitely "innovate" on consistency.
@@filipealves6602 This is because the chips used for the S22-21 were poorly fabricated.

Samsung has been on a downward spiral since DJ Koh left the company. Their recent launches like the Fold 6 and Buds 3 Pro have been a letdown. They’ve given up on their unique design and copied Apple which is a shame.
Is Apple relevant outside of Hype & Apple Un-intelligence? We should talk about Huawei, Xiaomi (top tech car in 3y vs Apple fail >10y ;), Oppo, Vivo, Honor...
TWO MOTIVES 1) better phones at every generation make people buy phones not every year but every 3-5 years 2) being on Android platform, Samsung must fight all from Android So, Samsung is great, just isn't their fault.
Ever since Huawei got banned from international market, Samsung fell into the comfort zone and nerfed themselves. Things we wanna see in Z fold 7. Better Durability and Dust Resistance is a must, S pen silo and outer display s pen support Better battery life and faster charging. Better and usable inner display camera for video calls and stuffs. Slightly, just slightly wider cover display and reduced bezels. Anti reflective coating on both, especially on outer display... These are the bare minimum essentials of a merely flagship phone in 2024. They are ahead in software, and features as of now tho, but still you wanna use an 1800 dollar phone just like a flagship or maybe something more than it. Do not gatekeep on usability #Samsung
Samsung isn't just electronics. Their construction division -- C&T -- built the no. 1 and no. 2 tallest buildings in the world. They also have a real estate business, defence, shipbuilding, etc.
In 2022 the shipbuilding business at Samsung was losing billions of dollars. In fact Samsung Electronics had to make the shipbuilding business a large loan to keep them afloat. In that business they are actually only 3rd place among South Korean shipbuilders. All three of those companies were losing large amounts of money and seeking government bailouts. The profitable business is in fact Samsung Electronics.
Well, they keep putting their prices up and not innovating to actually attract people back, they will either need to adapt to continue as they are or downsize their range of products to focus on their most profitable ventures, sorta like how Toshiba downsized when it couldn't compete in the household product space anymore.
I have a 3 years old Samsung M52, at first it was good but then after a bunch of almost forced updates and user policy changes, I am not sure if I'd ever buy another Samsung phone again.
Maybe one more reason is that Samsung is a cheabol, and for the time it's leader was missing because of facing the consequences of breaking the law, has been a mostly directionless company coasting on the momentum it already had.
Problem is you are paying more for LESS features, no hedphone jack, no sd card slot, no replacable battery, no charger. And the camera quality not a good selling point
The removal of the SD card was the best thing to ever happen. Micro SD cards are much slower than the internal storage on the device itself, prone to corruption, and not supported by most apps on android outside of media content like photos. Headphone jack is understandable but not that big of a deal. In regards to the replacement battery issue, fast charging solves any qualms from that and in order to have a replaceable battery would mean forgoing on things like waterproofing or having wireless charging. So gunna hard disagree with you
@@bobhob35 I have no doubt that it’s well-made and I’d love to be wealthy enough to buy high-end accessories for every aspect of my life, but you know the rest…
@@bogboy90210 I fully understand and emphatically sympathise with your situation. I moved to using traditional double edged razor blades because it was significantly cheaper than buy Gillette replacement cartridges at nearly £3 each. I buy a pack of 100 Japanese razor blade for about £12. They last a bit less but cost 25 times less to buy.
Just because Volkswagen going down the hill doesn't mean Samsung is anywhere close to it. If you read financial reports Samsung clocked 280% in net profit this quarter. I didn't see a single EU company doing anything close to it. Don't know who funds your channel but Samsung is more than on the the safe side right now. Y'all should focus on your downward going economy as inflation in EU rose 2% this year.
To this day Samsung uses cheap short-lived flash memory within their phones, making them slower and slower as the years go by. I realized this issue with my first Samsung smartphone over 10 years ago. And now, all those years later, the issue remains the same. It is astonishing that no one talks about this purpusefully created problem. But maybe enough users are waking up to it, and realizing that other manufacturers (e.g. OnePlus or Google - but especially Apple) do not have this flaw.
What a clickbait title, Samsung is a huge company and phones are just a tiny part of their total product plethora. They certainly are far from trouble, and the only real competitor to Samsung as a company is Xiaomi.
🤣 Thanks for the laughs 🎉 Now let’s get back to the reality. Apple is the biggest computer company in the world with revenue of 383 billion in 2023. Samsung with all of its products is under 250 billion and Xiaomi less than 40 billion.
@@verttikoo2052 Does apple produce tanks? Fridges, TVs, chips, screens, camera, whole smart home systems, digital cameras and many many other things. Yes apple produces phones, Samsung produces everything else including phones. They are not comparable companies, you can compare Xiaomi with Samsung because Xiaomi has a whole lot of products, heck they produce cars (remember apple car?). Sony is another company you can compare with Samsung, Apple is a different type of company, cannot be compared with those 3 companies mentioned.
Well Apple doesn’t make toilets, but Samsung toilet can connect to iPhone? Apple is a prominent microchip company. Everyone knows ARM and Apple is the founder of it. All the microprocessors that Samsung makes is thanks to Apple and the vision of the Apple and Apple is the largest computer company in the world by wide margins.

1) Too expensive 2) Offer less than what consumers consider standard because they believe they are a premium brand, 3) Competitors offer better specs 4) They've lost touch with consumers after building an ivory tower of bad customer service, no customer feedback and no improvements.
Nowadays most (big brand) phones are practically copies from eachother. So staying with one brand isn't as important as it used to be. My last few phones have been samsung's, good quality for a decent price. But after my galaxy S10 goes kaput i'm switching to a fairphone one. Fairphone has phones that are easily repairable by the consumer, so repairablity with them is way better than other brands. And that will mean i'm able to do a lot longer with the phone. The prices of having your battery or cable connecter replaced are just over the top nowadays. So i rather buy a phone where i can do thise things myself, without needing proprietary tools and "locked" hardware. Planned obsolescence is a nice money grab in the short term, but eventually customers will choose the few brand who didn't/don't join that bandwagon.
They need to slash prices to remain competitive and increase consumer interest. For example, the only reason foldable haven't caught on is their extreme price - whereas manufacturers like Motorola can make a foldable for under 600 dollars. They need to lower prices across the board and offer foldables for the same price as their slab phone products. The z fold needs to be at or around the price of the s24 ultra and the z flip needs to be at or around the s24.
The reason for Samsungs slowing sales in the smartphone market is they copied Apple with removing accessories in boxes and users could easily switch to other Android phones. Whereas iPhone users were embedded in the ecosystem something samsung has tried to emulate although not as successfully as of yet.
5. They use SoC's that throttle down to 40-50% of their capacity instead of using a lower cost SoC. As a consumer, you waste money buying Snapdragon 8 devices that do not have active cooling.
British English often treats collective nouns as plural (e.g. “the team are excited”). That being said, given this video is talking about Samsung as an entity, not as a shorthand for “the people that comprise Samsung”, it’s not really correct even as a non standard variant.
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231, Well, no. Samsung is a singular company, not a collection of people. A corporation is legally dissimilar from a partnership in that exact manner.
Price is too high and software quality dropped too much. I switched from a fold 3 to a moto g stylus 2024, and it felt like a big upgrade despite being 1/6th the price
As well, they lie about pricing. I looked at replacing my old galaxy Buds+. Looking at their roughly equivalent now options, they told me I'd get 50$ off before trade in, then adding in the trade in drops the discounts without explanation of why. I just can't trust the company
Great vid but the title is grammatically incorrect. It should be “4 Reasons Why Samsung is in Trouble.” Samsung is a single entity so it should be “is”. If it was more than one Samsungs it would be “are”
Regarding 4:29 - From what many in the tech sphere has seen. It feels like Samsung has just been stagnating on developing for Foldables while their competitors were able to catch-up and starting to beat them in features/etc.
Everyone is ignoring inflation, real reason behind low sales of stuff. People are only buying things that are necessary. It's a World wide phenomena, not one country specific.
Samsung needs to manage their Quality Control better. In my country too many people are facing green line issues. S20 S21 S22 and in some cases s23 series phones are getting green lines on displays.
Not satisfied with The Quality of Samsung s21 exynos. Phone overheats so much that the adhesive on the volume button melted and the volume button fell off. Display got green line too.
I have the folding phone, and I love mine. My friends always enjoy checking it out. I love it for streaming the PlayStation, good sized screen for playing games and being able to read the screen
Tips for samsung to win back customers: - make more affordable devices with good quality, not everyone has budget for flagships - bring back microSD card slot - bring back headphone jack - dont copy apple, be innovative with design (both hardware and software wise) - listen to community feedback
I bought a brand new Samsung A series phone a few weeks ago and the battery did not even last a whole day so I sent it back and bought a Nokia instead. I've been with Samsung for about 10 years before that
First 3 apple iPhones are used off the shelf Samsung SoCs as their main processor. Samsung also makes tanks (not water tanks 😂 actual tanks used in war i mean) and they're the people who made world tallest building called burj Khalifa 😅
What people fail to realize is that Samsung is actually gaining significant ground right now in the US. Yes they are mov8ng towards more Apple like products but I believe this might be a worth it strategy to convert some of the Apple customers. Samsung products are still significantly cheaper ( a lot of sales going on) and much of the Apple users are gett8ng fed up with the lack of inovation and high price tag of Apple. I believe the next quarter numbers might surprise you.
Since the introduction of smart fones, i never had any other brand except samsung. But my problem with samsung started when i got my s20. After just 2 years of normal use, meaning no gaming, no resource intensive apps, no heat inducing processes, my screen just broke. It started with 1 vertical green line and then it multiplied so much so that the fone is almost useless. I went to samsung service center for repairs. The officer said my fone is out of warranty and the screen replacement will cost me as much as a new one. At first, i thought i was just unlucky. So i got a new samsung s22, again same thing happened in less than 2 years. After much research on the net, i found out that im not the only one. Tens of thousands have suffered similiar problem and samsung refuse to acknowledge its a hardware fault. So with much regret, i ditched samsung and went for another brand. Samsung's product quality seemed to have deteriorated so badly
I feel like they got rid of editing staff or something because the lighting is always off, the audio just doesn't sound as good or as loud, the editing is inconsistent too, some videos are better than others.
samsung just looked at all the anti consumer apple money making schemes in the smartphone market and copied them, no headphones (or headphone jack) included with the phone, no charger included with the phone, no replaceable battery, no phone case, the phone being unuseable after like 3 years, etc. a lot of people with less money loved their older gen samsung phones because they would be reliable products with a reasonable price and with a manufacturer who cared about the products being good and not only the advertisements
A very important factor is that Samsung is not integrated and Samsung smartphone has to compete with other manufacturers for their own screens almost on the same foot. Same thing for other components
Samsung Innovation slows down, what about apple? Their screen refresh rate still at 60hz... I don't think Samsung will be in trouble in the next decade...
Samsung products don't have same quality as before. I don't think we need to consider brand nowadays. No one is making products with intention to last long.
I suspect the market might turn in Samsung's favour if the US Government wins its case against Apple for unfair competition. (I can't remember what it is called specifically, sorry.)
You also didn't mentioned that Samsung is second to TSMC in manufacturing high end Chips. Samsung is just half a generation behind TSMC and if anything happens to TSMC Samsung is the second best
TSMC is backed by Apple. All their best production lines are dedicated to print Apples own processors. And Apple is the leading processor company in the world.
I think the actual issue here is Samsung trying to compete with Apple. If you go back through Samsung's financials they had their most successful years when their devices were more affordable yet still close to that flagship quality. Now I feel like they are trying to be the apple of the Android world and charging way higher prices than what most cell phone should cost. Look at what OnePlus does they are selling phones that one could argue are actually better than Samsung Ultra phones yet they are $300 cheaper. So I think Samsung needs to go back to their roots which is offering affordable high quality cell phones
I own a Pixel 8a smartphone. Over the past couple of days, I purchased a Galaxy S24+ for my mom and set it up for her. Even though the Samsung phone is far more powerful and expensive, I would stick with my Pixel 8a any day of the week. Samsung's One UI sucks IMO. It looks bland and Samsung filled this phone with so much bloat it's nuts. For every Google program there is, Samsung added their own program which again, I'd say is inferior if only for features. Why would anyone want to use a Samsung branded web browser over Chrome, Firefox, or Opera? Why would I want to use Samsung's messaging app over Google's? Why the hell would I want to use Bixby, which never took off over Google's assistant or Google Gemini? Also, it's not as if I can simply uninstall all of these Samsung branded programs. I have to simply disable them, force stop, and even then when going through Google Messaging and changing settings, the Samsung messaging app still wants to pop in at times. IMO One UI is a waste of money and with the hardware that Samsung is putting into their high-end phones, giving people the option to have a fairy stock Android experience would be a great option.
Folding phone issues: Carriers going to 36 months so that trade in deal.fpr 24 months is gone Insurance per phone going from $9 to $17 Software updates bricking $2100 phones and their warranty process accusing the customer In total no one wa to to be 13 months in a 36 month agreement with no phone. I went back to the Ultra bec I can pay it off if need be
You are right. Too many Samsung phones are getting green line on their displays. People bash Oneplus for display green line samsung deserves equal backlash.
On the face of it. Samsung do make some very very very nice devices and their software support as far as android OS and security updates are second to none. But the problem is they are being seriously undercut to the point where their devices look terribly overpriced compared to the competition. I bought a Motorola for £200 about a year ago. For a similar specd Samsung id be paying close to £300 if not over for it. Obviously there are some caveats where Samsung is straight out better. Longer support, better camera tech and really refined build quality. But the amount of people with huge amounts of disposable income to splash on flashy and expensive mobile phones these days have taken a jump off a steep cliff. Xiaomi have taken over such a huge part of the market as well and Samsung cant compete unless they lower their prices
Leaving me without a flagship that has microsd slot for several years in a row. I'm still on S20+ because I have nowhere else to go to. I can only keep buying second had s20+ and play lottery of half dead battery and soon to appear green/pink lines across the screen. My only other option is A55 5G, which is basically a downgrade in any aspect. The only other available android options we have here are Google Pixel, Sony Xperia and Sharp Aquos. Thats it.
Apple makes money with services besides selling phones and computers. Worth mentioning in such a video. Does Samsung have anything comparable? Didn't notice any while using a Samsung phone until September this year. Could only cite Samsung Pay as a service I could have used.
Samsung sales have fallen not only bcoz apple iphone became more popular, its just that chinese brands have eaten samsung's market share. OPPO, VIVO, Xiaomi now offers quality fones with similar features as samsung at much much lower price. Samsung's main competitor is not apple, its the chinese brands
Ah yes this company is in trouble because instead of making 99 billion dollars it made 98 billion dollars. This is the exact reason why infinite growth is bad.
I've been very interested in Samsung's gear and like to buy it when it seems like a good choice (foldable phone being one of them) however their prices I've found to be generally at least x2 if not sometimes x3 more than their competition and only missing a feature or two (sometimes being features that are useless for me) while being fairly robust for my usage. I want an OLED screen but I've seen the prices be too much when I also read up that OLED's life cycle currently is maybe 2 years. In short....Samsung may be good but their prices are just too high in my opinion.
Things like saying D.R.A.M. and N.A.N.D. instead of Dram and Nand let you know someone is just reading from a script, and doesn't actually have any deep knowledge of the subject they are talking about. I watched a video the other day, that mentioned Lyndon Johnson and called him Lydon, lol, put you off, I mean it probably shouldn't but it does.

Is Apple relevant outside of Hype & Apple Un-intelligence? We should talk about Huawei, Xiaomi (top tech car in 3y vs Apple fail >10y ;), Oppo, Vivo, Honor...
@dimiberberu all those listed brands are garbage 😂😂
TWO MOTIVES
1) better phones at every generation make people buy phones not every year but every 3-5 years
2) being on Android platform, Samsung must fight all from Android
So, Samsung is great, just isn't their fault.

samsung phone is being too 'apple' for an android phone
Tf does that mean 💀
Ever since Huawei got banned from international market, Samsung fell into the comfort zone and nerfed themselves.
Things we wanna see in Z fold 7.
Better Durability and Dust Resistance is a must,
S pen silo and outer display s pen support
Better battery life and faster charging.
Better and usable inner display camera for video calls and stuffs.
Slightly, just slightly wider cover display and reduced bezels.
Anti reflective coating on both, especially on outer display...
These are the bare minimum essentials of a merely flagship phone in 2024. They are ahead in software, and features as of now tho, but still you wanna use an 1800 dollar phone just like a flagship or maybe something more than it. Do not gatekeep on usability #Samsung
Samsung isn't just electronics. Their construction division -- C&T -- built the no. 1 and no. 2 tallest buildings in the world. They also have a real estate business, defence, shipbuilding, etc.
In 2022 the shipbuilding business at Samsung was losing billions of dollars. In fact Samsung Electronics had to make the shipbuilding business a large loan to keep them afloat. In that business they are actually only 3rd place among South Korean shipbuilders. All three of those companies were losing large amounts of money and seeking government bailouts. The profitable business is in fact Samsung Electronics.
Well, they keep putting their prices up and not innovating to actually attract people back, they will either need to adapt to continue as they are or downsize their range of products to focus on their most profitable ventures, sorta like how Toshiba downsized when it couldn't compete in the household product space anymore.
Apple is similar
@@danielmalinen6337 Apple haven't raised their phone prices since 2017
Prehaps if they brought back a micro SD card option on their flagship models. ...
_[I can dream]_
Do it. If not, go Sony xperia
@@chookwangzhee1889 I bought one and it was a horrible purchase
@chookwangzhee1889 Honestly I love my A55 5G for this very reason. The mid tier phones are real good.
I have a 3 years old Samsung M52, at first it was good but then after a bunch of almost forced updates and user policy changes, I am not sure if I'd ever buy another Samsung phone again.
What do you expect from the M series? Use at least the S series if you want the best from Samsung.
@haleedr are you unable to understand english? Forced updates and policy changes, how is any series relevant to that question? U dum bro?
Maybe one more reason is that Samsung is a cheabol, and for the time it's leader was missing because of facing the consequences of breaking the law, has been a mostly directionless company coasting on the momentum it already had.
Problem is you are paying more for LESS features, no hedphone jack, no sd card slot, no replacable battery, no charger. And the camera quality not a good selling point
The removal of the SD card was the best thing to ever happen. Micro SD cards are much slower than the internal storage on the device itself, prone to corruption, and not supported by most apps on android outside of media content like photos.
Headphone jack is understandable but not that big of a deal. In regards to the replacement battery issue, fast charging solves any qualms from that and in order to have a replaceable battery would mean forgoing on things like waterproofing or having wireless charging.
So gunna hard disagree with you
I will never go back to wired headphones.
@@dennisp8520 oh yes, nothing better than not having the option to expand your storage, thank you daddy industry
@@Jimmy_Jones having the option to have them wired was a nightmare, thank god they are forcing us to buy those
I was going to buy a razor and then saw the handle is £56!
And the issue is? These are quality razors which use traditional double edged razor blades.
The product is nearly identical to the product your grandfather used fifty years ago 😅
If this make is to expensive try the razor I use a MÜHLE Traditional R89 safety razor.
Usually sells for about £35.
@@bobhob35 I have no doubt that it’s well-made and I’d love to be wealthy enough to buy high-end accessories for every aspect of my life, but you know the rest…
@@bogboy90210 I fully understand and emphatically sympathise with your situation.
I moved to using traditional double edged razor blades because it was significantly cheaper than buy Gillette replacement cartridges at nearly £3 each.
I buy a pack of 100 Japanese razor blade for about £12.
They last a bit less but cost 25 times less to buy.
Just because Volkswagen going down the hill doesn't mean Samsung is anywhere close to it. If you read financial reports Samsung clocked 280% in net profit this quarter. I didn't see a single EU company doing anything close to it.
Don't know who funds your channel but Samsung is more than on the the safe side right now. Y'all should focus on your downward going economy as inflation in EU rose 2% this year.
You forgot to mention Samsung Techwin, which is involved in weapons manufacturing, aeronautics, surveillance and many other things
To this day Samsung uses cheap short-lived flash memory within their phones, making them slower and slower as the years go by. I realized this issue with my first Samsung smartphone over 10 years ago. And now, all those years later, the issue remains the same. It is astonishing that no one talks about this purpusefully created problem. But maybe enough users are waking up to it, and realizing that other manufacturers (e.g. OnePlus or Google - but especially Apple) do not have this flaw.
What a clickbait title, Samsung is a huge company and phones are just a tiny part of their total product plethora. They certainly are far from trouble, and the only real competitor to Samsung as a company is Xiaomi.
🤣 Thanks for the laughs 🎉
Now let’s get back to the reality. Apple is the biggest computer company in the world with revenue of 383 billion in 2023. Samsung with all of its products is under 250 billion and Xiaomi less than 40 billion.
@@verttikoo2052 Does apple produce tanks? Fridges, TVs, chips, screens, camera, whole smart home systems, digital cameras and many many other things. Yes apple produces phones, Samsung produces everything else including phones. They are not comparable companies, you can compare Xiaomi with Samsung because Xiaomi has a whole lot of products, heck they produce cars (remember apple car?). Sony is another company you can compare with Samsung, Apple is a different type of company, cannot be compared with those 3 companies mentioned.
Well Apple doesn’t make toilets, but Samsung toilet can connect to iPhone?
Apple is a prominent microchip company. Everyone knows ARM and Apple is the founder of it. All the microprocessors that Samsung makes is thanks to Apple and the vision of the Apple and Apple is the largest computer company in the world by wide margins.
@@kraya6740 Who told you that Apple makes cars? Apple makes solutions for the cars, but not the car itself. That is not a profitable business to start producing cars 🙄 Apple has Maps and that is a completely different success story.
@@verttikoo2052 Apple told us it would make cars, it didn't. Instead Xiaomi is selling EV cars like hotcakes. Nobody with a brain cell uses any maps from apple in their cars, everyone uses Google maps.
1) Too expensive
2) Offer less than what consumers consider standard because they believe they are a premium brand,
3) Competitors offer better specs
4) They've lost touch with consumers after building an ivory tower of bad customer service, no customer feedback and no improvements.
lower opening tune please that gave me a jump😭great vid as always though!
I'm still using the Galaxy S22 Ultra as my daily phone and I have no problems using it.
Samsung has made absolutely no innovation in its foldables
I love Samsung products ❤
God bless Samsung 🙌
Its Veevo, not Vaivo
Why didn’t you talk about their quality issues? Samsung’s quality has dropped a lot in recent years.
Nowadays most (big brand) phones are practically copies from eachother. So staying with one brand isn't as important as it used to be.
My last few phones have been samsung's, good quality for a decent price.
But after my galaxy S10 goes kaput i'm switching to a fairphone one.
Fairphone has phones that are easily repairable by the consumer, so repairablity with them is way better than other brands.
And that will mean i'm able to do a lot longer with the phone.
The prices of having your battery or cable connecter replaced are just over the top nowadays.
So i rather buy a phone where i can do thise things myself, without needing proprietary tools and "locked" hardware.
Planned obsolescence is a nice money grab in the short term, but eventually customers will choose the few brand who didn't/don't join that bandwagon.
They need to slash prices to remain competitive and increase consumer interest. For example, the only reason foldable haven't caught on is their extreme price - whereas manufacturers like Motorola can make a foldable for under 600 dollars. They need to lower prices across the board and offer foldables for the same price as their slab phone products. The z fold needs to be at or around the price of the s24 ultra and the z flip needs to be at or around the s24.
Saw Xiaomi's sales fall too
This is a video about Samsung Electronics. Samsung, the parent conglomerate, is far bigger and a different story. Please differentiate in future
The reason for Samsungs slowing sales in the smartphone market is they copied Apple with removing accessories in boxes and users could easily switch to other Android phones. Whereas iPhone users were embedded in the ecosystem something samsung has tried to emulate although not as successfully as of yet.
5. They use SoC's that throttle down to 40-50% of their capacity instead of using a lower cost SoC.
As a consumer, you waste money buying Snapdragon 8 devices that do not have active cooling.
"4 Reasons Why Samsung are in Trouble" Are? Samsung is a plural?
Well they do consist of multiple people
British English often treats collective nouns as plural (e.g. “the team are excited”).
That being said, given this video is talking about Samsung as an entity, not as a shorthand for “the people that comprise Samsung”, it’s not really correct even as a non standard variant.
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231, Well, no. Samsung is a singular company, not a collection of people. A corporation is legally dissimilar from a partnership in that exact manner.
Price is too high and software quality dropped too much. I switched from a fold 3 to a moto g stylus 2024, and it felt like a big upgrade despite being 1/6th the price
As well, they lie about pricing. I looked at replacing my old galaxy Buds+. Looking at their roughly equivalent now options, they told me I'd get 50$ off before trade in, then adding in the trade in drops the discounts without explanation of why. I just can't trust the company
Great vid but the title is grammatically incorrect. It should be “4 Reasons Why Samsung is in Trouble.” Samsung is a single entity so it should be “is”. If it was more than one Samsungs it would be “are”
Regarding 4:29 - From what many in the tech sphere has seen. It feels like Samsung has just been stagnating on developing for Foldables while their competitors were able to catch-up and starting to beat them in features/etc.
1 reason Samsung is not in trouble.
Samsung is South Korea, by the admission of their own president
Everyone is ignoring inflation, real reason behind low sales of stuff. People are only buying things that are necessary. It's a World wide phenomena, not one country specific.
Samsung needs to manage their Quality Control better. In my country too many people are facing green line issues.
S20 S21 S22 and in some cases s23 series phones are getting green lines on displays.
Aren't Oppo and vivo basically the same company?
Yes, so are Nothing, OnePlus and Realme
Not satisfied with The Quality of Samsung s21 exynos.
Phone overheats so much that the adhesive on the volume button melted and the volume button fell off. Display got green line too.
I have the folding phone, and I love mine. My friends always enjoy checking it out. I love it for streaming the PlayStation, good sized screen for playing games and being able to read the screen
Tips for samsung to win back customers:
- make more affordable devices with good quality, not everyone has budget for flagships
- bring back microSD card slot
- bring back headphone jack
- dont copy apple, be innovative with design (both hardware and software wise)
- listen to community feedback
I often wonder what would the tech world look like if Huawei hadn't been sanctioned by the US.
I bought a brand new Samsung A series phone a few weeks ago and the battery did not even last a whole day so I sent it back and bought a Nokia instead. I've been with Samsung for about 10 years before that
Nokia？
Come again? Nokia?
@@amandagrant4331 @MustraOrdo Nokia G42 5G
If that’s true ,Samsung is really down bad😂
Nokia G54 5G
I never relized that Samsung are plural. 😮
First 3 apple iPhones are used off the shelf Samsung SoCs as their main processor. Samsung also makes tanks (not water tanks 😂 actual tanks used in war i mean) and they're the people who made world tallest building called burj Khalifa 😅
That ultrasound interlude hurt my ears and scared my cats 😂😂😂
What people fail to realize is that Samsung is actually gaining significant ground right now in the US. Yes they are mov8ng towards more Apple like products but I believe this might be a worth it strategy to convert some of the Apple customers. Samsung products are still significantly cheaper ( a lot of sales going on) and much of the Apple users are gett8ng fed up with the lack of inovation and high price tag of Apple. I believe the next quarter numbers might surprise you.
Since the introduction of smart fones, i never had any other brand except samsung. But my problem with samsung started when i got my s20. After just 2 years of normal use, meaning no gaming, no resource intensive apps, no heat inducing processes, my screen just broke. It started with 1 vertical green line and then it multiplied so much so that the fone is almost useless. I went to samsung service center for repairs. The officer said my fone is out of warranty and the screen replacement will cost me as much as a new one. At first, i thought i was just unlucky. So i got a new samsung s22, again same thing happened in less than 2 years. After much research on the net, i found out that im not the only one. Tens of thousands have suffered similiar problem and samsung refuse to acknowledge its a hardware fault. So with much regret, i ditched samsung and went for another brand. Samsung's product quality seemed to have deteriorated so badly
7:05 I like how the graphic of the Samsung product category lineup includes the weird yellow AI robot ball thing!
Why is it the end of the world as we know?
Music jumpscare at the beginning
I feel like they got rid of editing staff or something because the lighting is always off, the audio just doesn't sound as good or as loud, the editing is inconsistent too, some videos are better than others.
samsung just looked at all the anti consumer apple money making schemes in the smartphone market and copied them, no headphones (or headphone jack) included with the phone, no charger included with the phone, no replaceable battery, no phone case, the phone being unuseable after like 3 years, etc.
a lot of people with less money loved their older gen samsung phones because they would be reliable products with a reasonable price and with a manufacturer who cared about the products being good and not only the advertisements
A very important factor is that Samsung is not integrated and Samsung smartphone has to compete with other manufacturers for their own screens almost on the same foot. Same thing for other components
They expect 2020 profits every year. That was their mistake.
Samsung Innovation slows down, what about apple? Their screen refresh rate still at 60hz...
I don't think Samsung will be in trouble in the next decade...
Market saturation. And we don’t need to constantly buy a new phone it’s wasteful.
Great video as always. Just to to say that you convinced me about the Henson shaving, and they have stocks in Japan, nice!
Samsung products don't have same quality as before. I don't think we need to consider brand nowadays. No one is making products with intention to last long.
They refuse to address the reception issues with the s22 ultras....
I suspect the market might turn in Samsung's favour if the US Government wins its case against Apple for unfair competition. (I can't remember what it is called specifically, sorry.)
Maybe people just don't want to upgrade every year anymore?
You also didn't mentioned that Samsung is second to TSMC in manufacturing high end Chips. Samsung is just half a generation behind TSMC and if anything happens to TSMC Samsung is the second best
TSMC is backed by Apple. All their best production lines are dedicated to print Apples own processors. And Apple is the leading processor company in the world.
I think the actual issue here is Samsung trying to compete with Apple. If you go back through Samsung's financials they had their most successful years when their devices were more affordable yet still close to that flagship quality. Now I feel like they are trying to be the apple of the Android world and charging way higher prices than what most cell phone should cost. Look at what OnePlus does they are selling phones that one could argue are actually better than Samsung Ultra phones yet they are $300 cheaper. So I think Samsung needs to go back to their roots which is offering affordable high quality cell phones
I own a Pixel 8a smartphone. Over the past couple of days, I purchased a Galaxy S24+ for my mom and set it up for her. Even though the Samsung phone is far more powerful and expensive, I would stick with my Pixel 8a any day of the week. Samsung's One UI sucks IMO. It looks bland and Samsung filled this phone with so much bloat it's nuts. For every Google program there is, Samsung added their own program which again, I'd say is inferior if only for features. Why would anyone want to use a Samsung branded web browser over Chrome, Firefox, or Opera? Why would I want to use Samsung's messaging app over Google's? Why the hell would I want to use Bixby, which never took off over Google's assistant or Google Gemini? Also, it's not as if I can simply uninstall all of these Samsung branded programs. I have to simply disable them, force stop, and even then when going through Google Messaging and changing settings, the Samsung messaging app still wants to pop in at times. IMO One UI is a waste of money and with the hardware that Samsung is putting into their high-end phones, giving people the option to have a fairy stock Android experience would be a great option.
Folding phone issues:
Carriers going to 36 months so that trade in deal.fpr 24 months is gone
Insurance per phone going from $9 to $17
Software updates bricking $2100 phones and their warranty process accusing the customer
In total no one wa to to be 13 months in a 36 month agreement with no phone.
I went back to the Ultra bec I can pay it off if need be
Reason why Samsung is in trouble - GREEN LINE ON SCREEN
I guess you got shafted on that expensive repair too.
You are right. Too many Samsung phones are getting green line on their displays.
People bash Oneplus for display green line samsung deserves equal backlash.
On the face of it. Samsung do make some very very very nice devices and their software support as far as android OS and security updates are second to none. But the problem is they are being seriously undercut to the point where their devices look terribly overpriced compared to the competition. I bought a Motorola for £200 about a year ago. For a similar specd Samsung id be paying close to £300 if not over for it. Obviously there are some caveats where Samsung is straight out better. Longer support, better camera tech and really refined build quality. But the amount of people with huge amounts of disposable income to splash on flashy and expensive mobile phones these days have taken a jump off a steep cliff. Xiaomi have taken over such a huge part of the market as well and Samsung cant compete unless they lower their prices
The best thing is to find the consumer what they want
Leaving me without a flagship that has microsd slot for several years in a row. I'm still on S20+ because I have nowhere else to go to. I can only keep buying second had s20+ and play lottery of half dead battery and soon to appear green/pink lines across the screen.
My only other option is A55 5G, which is basically a downgrade in any aspect. The only other available android options we have here are Google Pixel, Sony Xperia and Sharp Aquos. Thats it.
Samsung should diversify into shaving razors
Not terribly intelligent item that also has an obviously click-bait title. TL|DR is slipping in quality ever faster it seems.
You couldn't pay me enough money to use any phone from Winnie Xitler's companies. I mean..you have to be CRAZY. Apple/Google/Sammy ONLY!!
Apple makes money with services besides selling phones and computers. Worth mentioning in such a video.
Does Samsung have anything comparable? Didn't notice any while using a Samsung phone until September this year. Could only cite Samsung Pay as a service I could have used.
Unless you are trying to kill your viewers, please stop using that opening tune.
Same with the terrible meme channels that use buzzer Nokia tune as a sound effect. Sounds like killing a rabbit in pitch darkness
Samsung sales have fallen not only bcoz apple iphone became more popular, its just that chinese brands have eaten samsung's market share. OPPO, VIVO, Xiaomi now offers quality fones with similar features as samsung at much much lower price. Samsung's main competitor is not apple, its the chinese brands
That beep song at the beginning was awful. Please do not play loud noises like that again. It was awful.
I'm happy it wasn't a Nokia video and the annoying buzzer version playing as an intro lol
3:15 who says Vivo like that 😭
I disagree they need to do a thousand small things better. You are describing a company asleep at the wheel. They need to wake up

4 Reasons Samsung Is In Trouble
Ah yes this company is in trouble because instead of making 99 billion dollars it made 98 billion dollars. This is the exact reason why infinite growth is bad.
I've been very interested in Samsung's gear and like to buy it when it seems like a good choice (foldable phone being one of them) however their prices I've found to be generally at least x2 if not sometimes x3 more than their competition and only missing a feature or two (sometimes being features that are useless for me) while being fairly robust for my usage. I want an OLED screen but I've seen the prices be too much when I also read up that OLED's life cycle currently is maybe 2 years.
In short....Samsung may be good but their prices are just too high in my opinion.
I saw a Samsung ad on this video too
This guy says “actually” in every sentence. When you notice it you can’t stop hearing it.
Things like saying D.R.A.M. and N.A.N.D. instead of Dram and Nand let you know someone is just reading from a script, and doesn't actually have any deep knowledge of the subject they are talking about. I watched a video the other day, that mentioned Lyndon Johnson and called him Lydon, lol, put you off, I mean it probably shouldn't but it does.
3:59 But who thought foldable smart phone = exciting new tech?
the editor cooked 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Used to always buy samsung phones until they introduced that Bixby button :P I wonder how many they made to break brand loyalty for that gimmicky shit
