Nokia vs Samsung compares the two smartphone manufacturers. Nokia focuses on design but has concentrated too much on it forgetting the importance of function. Samsung has spent money on the latest technology and produced increasingly small handsets, giving it market leadership over younger consumers. Both companies use celebrity brand ambassadors and focus on online services and stores to increase their visibility and customer support. While Nokia currently has better quality and is preferred by older consumers, Samsung has overtaken it in the market through its innovative devices.
