Sure, but Android phones with better specs (and bigger screens) are cheaper.

People naturally gravitate towards those.

Have you ever seen a non-techie buy a phone? No one cares about specs.

Specs might be better, but in real-world performance Apple provides the smoother experience. Not to mention that software support is sparse and short-lived for Android phones in that budget range. Sadly...

Samsung is not the only option around. A lot of Chinese OEMs (Vivo et al.) make fantastic android phones at very affordable prices.
