Samsung has just released its 2021 performance report, and the data shows that Samsung Electronics' sales last year were 279 trillion won, about 1.48 trillion yuan, an increase of 17.83% year-on-year, setting a record for sales since its inception, and net profit exceeded 270 billion yuan. It can be seen that after Huawei's fall, not only Apple has eaten enough, but also Samsung has eaten enough.
Huawei's mobile phone business is basically a full-fledged winter, the obvious consequence is that Apple's iPhone sales have increased significantly, and Cook's total salary last year was $97.8 million, which is enough to illustrate Apple's achievements in 2021. In the domestic smartphone market, Apple's iPhone accounts for more than 80% of the high-end smartphone market. Obviously, in addition to Huawei's ability to share a piece of the high-end market, other domestic mobile phone brands are currently difficult to gain a foothold in the high-end market.
And Samsung, because there is no Huawei competition, Samsung mobile phone sales have returned to the world's first position, according to the report of data agencies, the global smartphone shipments in 2021 ranked in order of Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo. If there is no restriction, the original position of the first should belong to Huawei.
Not only the mobile phone business has grown significantly, Samsung can also eat dividends in other aspects, such as the huge vacancy that appeared because of the decline in sales of Huawei's mobile phone business, in addition to Apple's Samsung division, there is also a part to be divided by domestic mobile phones, and domestic mobile phones have used a lot of Samsung components, such as Samsung's camera sensors, screens, flash memory, etc., these are the direct profits that Samsung can get from domestic mobile phone manufacturers, before there are mobile phones like OnePlus. Manufacturers will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to customize the screen with Samsung, which is also a lot of revenue.
In addition, Samsung can also harvest some indirect profits for domestic mobile phones to use qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or Snapdragon 888 plus flagship chips, as well as the new generation of Snapdragon 8 chips just launched this year, which are actually manufactured by Samsung, in other words, even if the market vacant by Huawei's mobile phone business is filled by domestic mobile phones, it will eventually bring profits to Samsung directly or indirectly, which is why Samsung can become a bigger winner.
Seeing this, the author feels very sad, Huawei should have been the strongest, but because of the disaster of flying, now the interests will be handed over to others, what is more unfortunate is that other domestic mobile phone brands can not really stand up to Apple Samsung, reduced to Huawei fell, Apple is full, Samsung is not hungry, setting a record. It can only be said that I look forward to the early return of Huawei's king, and I also hope that other domestic brands, come on, the iron still needs to be hard!
