Samsung is making much more Operating Income than AAPL. Why their market cap is so low?

Market cap is based on a half-dozen factors, but primarily a factor of

- assets (e.g., cash on hand and other things that can be converted to cash),

-Operating Income, and

- growth -- meaning how quickly the annual operating income can grow (my guess is Samsung's growth is lower than Apple's)
