This happened in 1969, but the "fruits" are still bearing fruit to this day. Now the brand creates demand for consumer electronics under its own logo. It fell in love with the audience of millions, which is why it deservedly became the leading manufacturer in the electronics market in the period from 1990 to 2000.

In this regard, the smartphones of the first company most often caught in online stores and are purchased there as well. This is due to a skeptical attitude towards the manufacturer. As for Samsung, its products are actively purchased both in physical stores and online.

Pricing policy

When comparing smartphone manufacturers, it is definitely worth stopping at the pricing policy of both companies. Of course, the cost of specific products differs from store to store. However, Vivo and Samsung offer customers their gadgets in different price categories.

Fans of Vivo devices can count on an assortment of products within the amount of From 8 thousand rubles to 50 thousand rubles. Those wishing to splurge on a Samsung phone should prepare to spend From 6 thousand rubles to 150 thousand rubles.

The prices indicated are relative. The exact limits of the minimum and maximum cost of the gadgets can never be specified. Price tags change literally every day, and not all users manage to keep up with them. However, even at the approximate cost indicated above, it is possible to conclude which manufacturer offers the most favorable products.

As you can see from the manufacturers' descriptions, it is quite difficult to determine which is better, Vivo or Samsung. The brands are practically on a par, overtaking each other only in minor details. Therefore, it is up to each user to select the best option for himself. The most important thing to remember is that specific smartphone models of different brands can be as similar to each other in terms of capabilities. Therefore, in some cases, it is necessary to focus not on the manufacturer itself, but on its products.
