When you do a true like-for-like comparison of #smartphone models and brands to see the actual price increase from rising memory costs, you get a clear picture of which brands and models have absorbed it and which have passed it on to buyers. In this #InsightPro, you get a clear view. Also, the brands likely to gain are those whose value has increased for buyers by either giving more, charging less, or both.

In June, Techarc and @TrakinTech warned that 54% of India's festive smartphone demand was at risk. The festive season is nearly done. Here's the scorecard. @8ap @r3dash

Here is @techarcinsights 's take on @Samsung's recently announced Q3 results. Yes, it's a fact that the DX division, which is essentially the business line responsible for all gadgets and devices, including smartphones, incurred losses. But it doesn't put #Samsung in trouble. The DX division's losses are less than 1% of what the DS division, which accounts for the memory and other components business, earned during the quarter. So DS is absorbing DX's losses. This puts Samsung in a unique position: a business division growing exponentially in revenue can cushion losses in the devices division for reasons beyond its control. So Samsung will benefit the most from this situation among OEMs. But that doesn't mean it won't have to make some tough calls. I expect them to announce some measures after mid-November.

A 2027 smartphone costs 45% more to bring to market than the 2026 model it replaces, and 37% more even if memory prices flatten. Entry phones face the steepest climb, at +72%.
