Flagship Samsung smartphone sales making Apple happy

Samsung T-Mobile disconnection issues

Highlights

  • Samsung’s most shipment is made up of low-end phones
  • Galaxy flagships are not doing well in sales
  • ASP gap between Samsung and Apple widened due to flagship sales

It looks like Samsung is late in taking the decision of ‘operating strategy’ revision. Since the sales of Samsung smartphones increased, ASP growth (average selling price) is negligible, which makes Apple happy. It’s found that mid-rangers have the biggest share in Samsung’s sales and flagships are not doing well.

Compared to Apple, Samsung flagship phone sales have not hiked due to software controversy this year, while, Galaxy A series is making new records of success. At the same time, the division of the iPhone 14 lineup is making big profits for Apple as it widened the ASP gap with Samsung.

According to Counterpoint Research, the ASP of Samsung’s smartphones only increased 2% year-on-year in the third quarter of this year. The sales of Galaxy Z Fold/Flip lineup and 5G smartphones got increment (YoY) by 2 times and 27%, respectively.

Due to less sales of the Galaxy S22 flagship lineup, Samsung’s revenue decreased by 4% YoY and the global smartphone market share decreased by 0.2%. On the flip side, not only Apple’s revenue and ASP increased, but worldwide shipments also increased alongside.

“Galaxy has a strong flagship image in Korea, but the perception is different in overseas markets. This is why Samsung needs to put more effort into overseas markets,” said an industry insider.

Samsung Galaxy

It’s not possible for any smartphone maker to provide users with never-ending software support. With Android 13, various Galaxy devices ended major upgrade support, and the same case will happen with One UI 6 for some popular Samsung smartphones.

Preparation to deliver 2023’s Android version is already underway by Google. While Pixel users have started experiencing the Android 14 OS through the Beta Program, Samsung didn’t see that side. However, the company is running the One UI Beta Program, which started on August 10.

This year, popular Samsung flagships such as Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series won’t receive the One UI 6. Both lineups have finished their striking era of continuous software upgrades, still, an additional year of security patches is remaining.

Samsung has always remained the king of after-sales services to Galaxy consumers. Presently, the company provides up to four years of major OS upgrades, which will be extended further for the time being. It has also raised the bar of security updates to five years, letting consumers keep their phones longer.

Citing sadly, but don’t wait for One UI 6 on these Samsung smartphones:

  1. Galaxy S20
  2. Galaxy S20 Plus
  3. Galaxy S20 Ultra
  4. Galaxy S20 FE LTE/5G
  5. Galaxy Z Flip – LTE/5G
  6. Galaxy Note20
  7. Galaxy Note20 Ultra
  8. Galaxy Z Fold2 5G

Sizzling era ends at 5.1

Samsung delivered the One UI 5.1 upgrade to all flagship smartphones upgraded to the Android 13-based One UI 5.0. The new version means more new features, and there’s no exception with the One UI 5.1 software system.

Customization is at its peak level on the One UI 5.1 and the upgraded capabilities of Good Lock (and family) make you wow! Screenshots no longer collide with photos captured by the camera and creating a cutout of the object is as simple as copying a text!
