The reason for the reduction is, of course, the surging price of memory.
Maybe this will finally force lazy developers to optimise their programs a bit more. For decades we've had computers getting significantly faster every year so you didn't need to bother optimising your code for lower resources.
Yeah sure. The 1200β¬ phone yields no profits... Poor Samsung can't catch a break
Damn, poor Samsung, they certainly havent advertised and pushed for AI usage at all in their products! Oh and they certainly havent had record profits in other divisions!
They need to tighten their belt, poor thing.
If people aren't buying it you get no profit.
Pretty sure the S26 was selling record numbers for them.
To be not turning a profit despite how expensive their phones are and being the only serious android manufacturer in the US, you're either lying, or so incredibly poorly mismanaged it's gotta set a new record somehow
Thats not what it says. They say the single units are not profitable, as in it costs more to make them than they sell for
With more companies claiming this and prices going up, could we go back to not requiring everyone has a newish smartphone?
That would require security updates etc to be done longer for phones so banking software and the rest will carry on working.
