Xiaomi's model of selling online comparable models to the iPhone near cost
06/08/2015
Xiaomi has in the four years since its start in 2011 gained 13.7% market share in China, only 1 percentage point below Apple and passing Samsung at 9.7% (for 1st quarter 2015, source: IDC). It does not incur marketing costs by selling online and generating user interest through its fan clubs. Contract manufacturers provide phones of high quality, often using the same parts used in iPhones. Xiaomi focusses on design and software. A 64 gigabyte Mi Note Pro from Xiaomi costs 2999 yuan or $489 in China, compared to Apple 64 gigabyte Apple iPhone 6 at over twice the price at 6088 yuan, and the Samsung Galay S6 at 5288 yuan 76% above the Mi Note Pro. By offering similar quality features at these prices Xiaomi has particularly hurt Samsung sales in China.

Samsung's declining profitability in 2013-2015
01/08/2014
Samsung's margins get squeezed by competition from Chinese smartphone makers at the lower end of the market, and competition from Apple, Sony and other makers at the premium end as prices decline and demand decelerates. Share prices decline 20% in 2013 and another 5% by Jan 2014. This shows Samsung still depends on the volaile chip business.

Samsung Electronics Third-Quarter Profit Falls Sharply
Wall Street Journal 10/30/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
