8. Apple’s Iphone is without doubt the number 1 Samsung competitor when
we talk about high end smartphones. Almost every year, there are 3
smartphones sure to be launched. One would be an Iphone, another a
Samsung Note and the third Samsung galaxy or Samsung galaxy edge.
In 2015, Xiaomi was the worlds 4th largest smartphone maker. Xiaomi is
a privately owned company operating from China. The best advantage to
Xiaomi is the Asian population which it can cover easily, mainly India
and China, two of the most populated countries in the world.
Another Chinese company with the same advantages as Oppo, but which
lacks the marketing skills of Oppo is Vivo. Vivo started its business in
2009 and because of its Manufacturing capacity and the wide market at
its disposal, capture a good chunk of the market share very fast.

17. o Samsung as a well established brand in Smartphone segments is doing well and giving
its best performance in this segment. With the introduction of new technologies in the
smartphone market like Augmented reality, Artificial Intelligence, Biometric lock for
security, or having latest Processors Like Exynos or Snapdragon Samsung has
provided all that in their Smartphones at most affordable prices for their customers
which has increased their overall production and sales in 2019. Samsung’s Galaxy
Note series was in a great demand in 2019. In the last quarter of 2019 Samsung holds
an overall share i.e. 18% in which approximately Note series holds more than 40% of
market for Samsung whereas rest of all market is held by other series of Samsung.
o But as per the recent scenarios there is going to be an increase in demand for affordable
smartphones in the market as due to Covid -19 people are stuck in their houses, due to
lockdown not only in India but throughout the world and are asked work from home
whereas students are asked to attend online classes and due to this there is going to be
an increase in demand for Smartphones and other appliances and as the demand is
going to increase the challenge lies would be focus on producing more of these
Smartphones rather than other series.
 So, Samsung should focus on producing and promotion of more of the affordable
Smartphones like its 'A' series, 'M' Series and should produce other smartphones
as per the demand it has for the other series i.e. Note and 'S' Series .
