Disagree entitely. Samsung was never #1 because of their S line at all,butt their A line, many of which still have those features. Lower end mattered much more than anything not “budget.”
How do you think they got their lower budget models to be so successful? By using the R&D and marketing budget on their flagships. Do you think Samsung would still be selling as many lower end phones if they couldn’t advertise and actually entice consumers? They would be competing for scraps along with Moto, Asus, and other niche brands. Hell, there might not even be an Android presence in the US if they only made $200 phones! Apple’s domination would be complete.
