Samsung made similar statements when Microsoft filed the lawsuit earlier this year, but is now changing its stance to focus more on antitrust issues stemming from the fact that Microsoft is now a direct hardware competitor. Samsung's deal with Microsoft in 2011 stipulated that the South Korean vendor would share sensitive data and develop Windows Phone devices with Microsoft, which would result in a reduction in the amount to be paid in royalties from Samsung's sale of Android devices.

So Samsung is done, despite still being the #1 smartphone seller in the world, whereas Microsoft is slaying, despite not even being in the TOP5 ?

It's like all the haters lost their lack of common sense and logic ever since the "Samsung 70% drop news"

This is hilarious. Microsoft may be milking cash out of Android manufacturers, but all they are doing with the money is throwing it away trying to make their lost cause OS Windows Phone happen.

It ain't gon' happen.

And not some of y'all acting like you don't know Samsung is providing processors, screens and other parts to a number of companies including Apple, on top of selling their own phones. They have stacks of cash and Samsung is a huge company.

Google is trying to slyly destroy Samsung's mobile business though after they threatened to leave Android, so Samsung needs to go running back to Google to save them if they want to last.

Huawei and LG are coming to snatch their S-Wigs.

Originally posted by HeavenMonster Too bad but Apple is selling more smart phones than samsung. and Apple has 100% people satisfaction who bought it, unlike Samsung, which laggs when you are tring it in it's own store.

Last time I checked, 78 millions shipped >>> 39 millions sold.

Mathematics must be different where you live.

They sold the best quarter this quarter. Their not done in any sense. I never said Samsung is over but they're surely going down a steep hill

Congrats to Microsoft for going from critical sales to mediocre sales I guess.

Samsung remains flopping at #1

Originally posted by mr_brightside If Samsung is still on top then why the 74% decline? How do you explain that?

Are you that...

Adèle sold 30 million albums last era. If her next one ends up selling 5 million, she'll have had a MASSIVE decline but will still be #1...


Jésus Christ, help me.
