Really unbelievable? Samsung is the top phone manufacturer in the world and sells everywhere. The chinese companies for various reasons primarily focus on Asian and Asian-adjacent countries only.
But China market so huge impossible can't beat 16.61 millions units. Did the data excluded China sales ?

Within China market still need to compete with iPhone, and iPhone sales in China remains high. if China suddenly ban iPhone and only allow local brand then yes possible

Impossible China will ban iPhone, their peasants will rage like Tiananmen 1989 again.

China market is huge and they have SO MANY different brands competing. You listed some of them yourself. So the market gets cut up into many many slices (this isn't even taking into account the behemoth that Apple is in that market).

Noticed the lens, it's glued to the body not unibody together, that's why some Fon got water damage. Samsung is smart right,💸water damage warranty automatically void

I think the 7 years update plus green line is the best strategy. People buy for the 7 years yet forced to upgrade because of the green line.

Although Samsung are IP68 rated but it still has limitations.

they only claim water and dust resistant... not waterproof...
Samsung Fon usually only IP68. Meanwhile China Fon up to IP69. Not really sure what it means in real life. All I know once I put my Note 8 into a bucket of water & it start to random reboot heats up reboot again non stop. That's where I realized Samsung ads about water resistant or water proof of their Fon is misleading abit.
actually a simple google search then you will get your answer.
IP68 or IP69 are both not water PROOF. only water RESISTANT. both ratings will void warranty if water somehow get into the phone . how is it misleading? the s25 is indeed IP68 rated.

Hater as usual speak nonsense without facts
There's no waterproof phones out there unless is specialised heavy duty phone or waterproof casing
