Scroll down to the sales chart.

One other item to remember is that Samsung competes in the low, middle and high end smartphone markets while Apple competes solely in the high end market.
The low end market is great for driving sales however it is price sensitive keeping profit margins on the slim side. A situation which can lead to winning the sales race while losing the profit race.

I don't think how much profit these companies make has much to do with this discussion.
I just bought one of the Samsung cheap phones, a Galaxy J3 Orbit, which I got on sale for $50. They're usually a few dollars more. My daily phone is a Galaxy S5, so slightly out of date but still working very well. I got the J3 for reading only. I've been reading on my phone a lot and drawing the battery down and I wanted something that would leave my regular phone's battery alone. But what surprised me is that it's really a nice phone. So far it seems as fast as the S5 although I'm not doing anything on either of them that will push it so it's not much of a test. It's also LCD and lower resolution although still plenty high. But all in all I think it's the nicer of the two phones. I've been wondering if I want to use it with my carrier and use the S5 for reading.
