Samsung continue profit drop

According to REUTERS, The share value of Samsung down 24.6% from the same term last year.
That's because the appreciation of the KRW and the poor sales.

Although popularity of iPhone 5s can't be ignored, the gain of power of xiaomi is also the one of the factor.
Characteristic of xiaomi's phone are low price and high-spec.
I also like xiaomi and Chinese phone.
There are the reasons other than above that is Dual SIM and SIM free.

Some mobile operator in Japan managed to lift the ban on SIM free phone.
But their charging system is still expensive.
Then, I got Chinese phone and using their SIM.

Jul 26, xiaomi started to sales of new model "Mi4" ,
it sold out only 37 seconds.

Samsung has to find a way out of a difficult situation.
