Samsung is different than the average device: they actually have a profit margin. It is essentially Apple vs. Samsung, with the latter propped up by subsidized software from Google as part of a transparent proxy war, in a battle for the smartphone market... no one else matters.

I would contend that Xiaomi could upend Samsung in China, arguably the most important market in the world.

But other than that, I 100% agree with you.

Also in India, not the biggest market, but reasonably big and growing.
