It's not overly insulting. The phones both Samsung and Huawei sell in BRIC and African markets are very different than what Americans are seeing from both, and I wouldn't be surprised if those phones make up a large bulk of their profits on Android.

But at least BRIC/African-market phones are still full-size, real legitimate phones. The parent comment compared Lego wheels to Michelin wheels.
It's obviously hyperbole.

There can ocean in terms of specs between the lowest end phones they sell here vs models they only sell in other countries.
