Samsung is on a roll for the past 2 years with respect to the number of products released in the smartphone category. It has captured all price segments and people just have more options to look for. This strategy has been applied for the last couple of years before which it had observed a major slump in their sales. The heads of departments had to brainstorm and finally they went to what they do the best - Quantity and Quality. We are seeing good result of this approach.

Nokia was a market leader back in the early 2010's and soon started to fizz out of the market when it decided to lean towards Microsoft's Windows instead of Google's Android. People talk about this grave business blunder even today and discussed as a case study under "things not to do when you are a market leader". Unfortunate as it may be for Nokia, they have heavily downsized their workforce since then and even sold their brand rights to HMD Global which now sells smartphones under the brand name of "Nokia". If you are one of those people who owned a Nokia phone (not a smartphone) , your brain would instantly trigger an audio of the Nokia ringtone. Now, Nokia may have tried to make its way back in the smartphone business but has been heavily lagging as compared to its competitors. Main reason being the funding and out of trend specs for hefty price. They have introduced the 3 series, 5 series, 8 series and even the flagship 9 series of smartpho...
