Samsung&#x27;s smartphone profits are ~1&#x2F;2 what they where a few years ago and it&#x27;s ~1&#x2F;5th Apples even with a much larger and growing market share.  Yes, there brand is growing slowly, but being GM and selling more product on paper thin margins is risky should the market change in any way or a slightly more efficient competitor shows up.<p>PS: IMO, Samsung is in the perfect place to work on the software side of things.  Sure, it would be expensive, but it&#x27;s one of the few ways to push actual growth.  Otherwise, there going to pull a Dell, ride the growth wave and then shrink as growth stalls.
