Analysts have also criticized the company for lack of expertise in marketing compared to Chinese rivals. “In South America, Samsung and Chinese companies such as Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi are expected to benefit in the low to mid-end segment,” said Park Sung-soon, an analyst at Cape Investment & Securities.
