Why Only Europe Does Not Produce Smartphones?

   Well, the reasons are many, we in Bulgaria see Europe as a kind of paradise, because in Bulgaria it is very difficult, but Europe has big problems .... I start from the fact that the Old Continent is the slowest on Earth. Only Germany is stable, but due to anti-Russian sanctions, this gossip will not mark their expected growth. There is nothing to talk about such countries as Italy, Spain and Greece - unemployment, etc. The best and increasingly unrealistic predictions are that Europe will emerge from the crisis only after at least 10-15 years ... Europe cannot compete with Asia or China ... production has moved to developing countries because it is cheaper. The West is exhausted, it has nowhere else to conquer markets, and in Asia China would make fun of them. After 1989 The United States and the West have taken some fresh money from former social satellites, subjugating them icobomically, but it's over. The statistics show

   “Does it turn out that the EU is so dumb that smartphones are too sophisticated technology for it?” There have always been 5-6 big brands, relying mainly on one or two of them. As I said, Alcatel makes similar phones, and Nokia, although under Microsoft, continues to function. Ericsson (and Nokia) are simply moving in other directions. There are also two major manufacturers in America, and as far as I remember, before Apple launched the phone, Motorola had downs and ups. Before anyone said anything, BlackBerry are Canadians, but even they are not a factor. As for Asia ... HTC, Sony and Samsung are good phones, but in general they work under Android, which does not speak very well for their creative thinking. Lenovo made good tablets, but no phones. But let me answer your question. Yes, Europeans are perfectly capable of creating a smarthphone, but unlike our Asian counterparts, we don't like to plagiarize and produce cheap copies of the iPhone. Alcatel do it and see where they are now. It's just that the other players decided to do something valuable. And the other important thing is - This is a union, of individual sovereign states, where the commodity market is smaller, we do not have the practice of subsidizing large private companies, which therefore leads to less financial resources. Apple had access to billions. And let's face it - smartphones are just toys that get better cameras, faster processors and a few extra pixels year after year, but overall, their concept is 10-15 years old. And who wants another cheap smartphone !!! Everyone wants either an iPhone or a Samsung (Gaklaxy S or Note). We don't need more cheap junk. It is better for Europe to do something more stupid and unnecessary, such as CERN or renewable energy, than to expose itself to pretending to be smart with its smartphones.

   to have a market for Americans .. what are you wondering?

   Haven't you been taught not to talk about things you know nothing about? Nokia is the leader in the production of Windows phones, and the measly Alcatel, which is barely moving, in the low and middle class offers models that far exceed the garbage offered by Samsung for the same price.

   If the alkali is blinking, I don't know: D it's all in the operating system brain

   Imagine that Antarctica and Australia don't make as many smartphones either. This is because they are smaller and the market is also smaller.

   Because of the price, of course. Smartphones are a one-day commodity. New models are released every month and it is rare to use one phone for more than a year. This requires the use of the cheapest possible components, which are produced in China naturally! In addition, Chinese labor is many times cheaper than European labor, they have the necessary experience, technological base and everything else to make the product so cheap that it is virtually impossible to undercut its price! Of course, the same phone can be made in Germany, but it will cost not $ 100 but $ 250, because Hans will not sit and saturate boards for 12 hours a day for a salary of three dollars, you remember :) Not by chance all the big producers export the production of their goods to Asia,

   There is - Prestigio, Cyprus :)

   Because there are no slaves in Europe like the Chinese to put on a conveyor belt 18 hours a day for five cents. That's why computers aren't made in Europe, and the German solar panel industry goes bankrupt because of Chinese production, and only after the threat of huge tariffs and other trade wars did they manage to agree with the Chinese on a minimum price threshold, so the Germans companies to keep living.

   The answer to your question applies to a very wide range of industries and product lines: 1. The EU has a very high standard of living for such industries - 99% of high-tech products are produced in Southeast Asia, including Apple Samsung and so on; there is a catch here - Japan is in Asia, but Sony produces in China, respectively, and Samsung and Apple. 2. Here I can meet resistance in the opinion, but it has been proven that the nervous system of East Asians is the most developed of all Homo sapiens - 2% more brain volume on average than the European race and 8% more than the Negroid; The combination of a low standard of living and intelligent low-paid workers - quickly adapting to this complex matter makes East Asia practically the only suitable place for this purpose. In connection with the differences between the brains of races - the facts were established more than 150 years ago, but understandably not one of the most talked about topics - it is normal ... Every pathologist and anthropologist can guess the sex, race and age of a specimen only by the femur - do you think that the obvious differences between races include all other traits without the nervous system ... there is no logic - we are at different evolutionary stages. Not in vain after the opening of the elite American colleges to foreigners 90% of the highest results are from Asians - they are just smarter than us - I emphasize the AVERAGE - which does not exclude blacks with 180 IQ and Asians with 80 ... So the main reasons are economic but there are quite a few details gravitating around them. I'm not a racist for reference, I'm just retelling scientific evidence and economic facts.

   I forgot to add that the EU has too many requirements, certificates, working conditions, which further increase the cost of such production. There are trade unions, civil society organizations and the like in the EU that do not exist in China - the example is the Foxconn plant in China, where the influx of suicides of workers by throwing from above, the reaction is to install networks on the floors ... Do you think that something like this would happen in the EU. All this costs money and makes it even more expensive.

   one reason - too high a salary

   Автора до 10-ти Сони и Самсунг може да произвеждат някои от продуктите си в Китай, но разработката на технологиите им е от Япония и Корея. Така, че ако ЕС е имал акъл да направи сполучлив и конкурентен смартфон, да го е направил, а вече да ползва евтината работна ръка в Китай за производството му, както прави с други по-прости неща(които все още може да прави). А и аз поне не съм виждал до сега смартфон на Самсунг правен в Китай, освен, ако не е реплика. Поне така пише на корпуса "произведено в Корея", а там стандарта не е никак нисък! Да приемем, че Азиатците са малко по-умни от Европеидната раса(и аз съм чувал подобни статистики от тестове), тогава защо тлъстигите в Епъл които са от тази раса могат да правят Айфони, за които китайците се редят на опашки зад граница, а нашите кратуни от ЕС от първи производители на мобилни телефони в света изгаснаха като настъпани фасове, щом станаха по-сложни устройствата? А при азиатците стана обратното-без да имат дългият опит в областта който имаха Сименс Ериксон и Нокия, изведнъж ги задминаха, а ония си удариха шапките в земята и си казаха"ми няма да се занимаваме повече с това"? Нокия не ми я хвалете, беше продадена защото фалира! Такива недоразумения им бяха последните модели, че се чудех дали няма да са по-полезни да подпирам масата с тях. И какво ако Епъл е имал достъп до милиарди за да разработи Айфон, то Сименс тогава трябва да е имал достъп до десетки милиарди. Май цялата работа е, че ЕС колкото има акъл да направи сложна електроника като смартфон, толкова има акъл да направи и политика.

   Don't worry, the production of the Bulgarian smartphones Domusagafon will start soon. They will be in green and white and will have an eagle for a logo. Except that their menu will be in Turkish.

   The comments show that Europeans are not only lazy, but also reluctant to work for low wages. There is something true in all this, Europeans, compared to other parts of the planet, have the best natural and climatic features if they study geography. Bulgaria has the greatest variety of soils and climate in the small area of ​​111 thousand sq km. Nowhere in the world is there such a cluster of such a small area, such diversity in nature. It turns out that Bulgarians are stupid that we do not use what we have. It is not clear to you why Bulgarians eat Greek tomatoes, carrots and vegetables, provided that we have lower wages, more fertile soils and more low-educated unemployed. If we talk about wages, Europeans find jobs with higher productivity and earn more GDP per hour, it is not economically viable to produce the phones because they would not achieve the required salary after their sale. While in China they both work for a lower salary and work harder, they make an effort in quality and speed. It is difficult to find an ordinary worker in Bulgaria, even if you offer him the double average salary for the country, for example BGN 1,600, who works hard and has not come to work for a mobster. It can be said that the Bulgarian does not go to work to work, but to maintain social contacts. From there we come to the laziness of the European, respectively the Bulgarian. I can also add greed to the description of the European. Each of these factors affects the type of production. Why, for example, since only we around the world use martenitsas, do we order them from China to produce them, although in China the minimum wage is higher, do they manage to offer us a lower price together with the transport compared to a Bulgarian manufacturer? Maybe the Bulgarian producer is looking for a higher profit and wants to cover the entire annual cost with only 2 months of production of martenitsas, ie he is greedy?

   Vonino - produce smartphones, tablets, country: Italy one of the best on the market in eMAG. bg I don't know about other brands, but I have a Vonino phone and it's clean, with features of SGS4 and 5. 5 inches screen goes great, at a price twice lower than that of SGS4 :)

   We, the Bulgarians, think that Europe is a paradise, that this is everyone's dream, but this is very far from the truth. Of all the continents, only Africa is poorer than Europe. Everyone else is developing at a furious pace, especially Asia and Australia. Even countries in South America such as Argentina and Chile have a higher standard than a number of European countries. And while the United States gives orders to the EU, Europe will always be stagnant.

   The author up to 16 I just wondered how the spaghetti makers could have made a smartphone and when I looked for this brand on the Internet it says that it is American and not Italian. Hey, a 50 million Korean living on a small isolated island with electronics made the 500 million EU funny.

   "Nowhere in the world is there such a cluster of such a small area, such diversity in nature." Do you really believe that? France, Romania, Slovenia ... Not to mention that the Balkans are an earthquake zone, and this is a huge minus. That we have beautiful nature is so.

   19 Not only do I believe it, but I can prove it. You list countries without limiting a small area of ​​111,000 square kilometers, and yet the countries listed still do not have these climatic resources. Slovenia and Romania do not have a Mediterranean climate, it is colder there and there is no way to sow kiwis, for example, while in Petrich and on the southern Black Sea coast kiwis are grown outside without special care. France, on the other hand, has a problem with the humidity of the climate, in the northwest it rains too often, everything is moldy / I lived there /, and Provence suffers from drought in the summer. Go try to tread English mud, where they grow raspberries, farmers in Bulgaria avoid entering muddy soil, they know that in a few hours it will dry out, the British know that their soil will not dry out, because after a while, it will rain again. In Bulgaria you will not stay hungry in the forest and you will have diversity as long as to know what to eat. By no means can you call Bulgaria an earthquake zone, while Slovenia is much more endangered. We have beautiful nature, but I'm talking here about the diversity of soils and climate in such a small space, if you don't understand. They provide the opportunity to grow a wide variety of plants and animals, and in Europe there is no country that offers the cultivation of all these plants and animals outdoors, without special heated spaces for them.

   Abe, smart people, you like Asia so much and you want to "develop at breakneck speed" - the plane and the road! Just do not roar later, why you are paid pennies and have to live in an 8 square "apartment" and the air is so polluted, you have to wear a mask ....

   21: Do you differentiate between economy and standard of living, smart guy?

   20 What warms me, what are the soils, I am not a farmer. France has the most beautiful nature in Europe, followed by Romania and Slovenia. Then BG.

   The author I take my words back. Europe made smartphones. Part of Russia is in Europe. Russia, as always, smashed the gays from the EU who do not have the mind to make a smartphone, and the Americans with the iPhones, even the magical Koreans with the Samsungs. Yotaphone is the coolest and most advanced smartphone I've ever seen. The only smartphone with two screens, the back is non-stop active and is powered more by external light and can be used as camouflage on the device. Hopefully the reason it is not allowed in Bulgaria is not because of the EU economic sanctions against Russia, that I am considering whether to apply for Russian citizenship to buy it with a Volga gas 5000. A serious smartphone is only suitable for a serious car, not of Fiat or Peugeot.

   Only Europe did not produce. Africa, Australia and South America also do not produce. Europe also has Nokia, but I would say that this is a full exposure. In 2015, they surprised with a tablet with Android and a month ago they hit the fish with a button phone at the end of 2016. There is also Prestige. It's a Cypriot brand, but Cyprus is more Asian and all their stuff is made in China, not to mention how rotten it is. Bulgaria soon started making some PRAVEC smartphones, but they are also made in China. But these Samsung, Sony, LG are made in China, not in Japan and Korea. For me personally, it doesn't matter where it was created, as long as it is high quality and not BGN 2,000 like Apple's.

   The EU is not so stupid. Alcatel One Touch has not been part of the French Alcatel since 2004. The problem is that creating a quality phone requires a lot of resources, time, talent and good marketing. Just an envechempazar, which is difficult to break through without innovation. Each of the top companies (Apple, Samsung, HTC, Nokia, LG, and yes, even Alcatel) had a significant amount of money to invest in the development of phones. Many companies have been successful, but many have failed. But the question is, how many companies in Europe have the means and desire for such a business? Those who have the funds are all companies that either deal with gas, oil and electricity or are various insurers or car manufacturers (whatever is left in European hands ...). What unites the leading companies is that they have or have had a very strong networking business, telecommunications and electronics. But the market is oversaturated. Microsoft bought Nokia's phone business, and now, the percentage of their phones in use is below 0.5%. If Microsoft has failed to establish itself in phones (see the last two Surfaces are something different and I recommend it to anyone looking for similar devices.), What is expected of other companies? Few people are willing to throw 2-3 billion euros into a market that is oversaturated with well-established brands. The iPhone had to revolutionize the phone and rewrite marketing books to succeed. Unless a company has the next big thing, it will be a desperate move that is likely to make less money than selling insurance policies or investing in renewable energy, even though there is little money. And if it's for production - first, there is a lot of China and secondly, our country would also do the job if a company is looking for low taxes and wants to avoid tariffs. If this ever happens, they will most likely build a factory in a field near Varna (port) and we won't even know what's going on inside. Ok, that's it. There's just no carpet for new smartphones. If you are a rich playboy-billionaire-genius-philtrop, there are far more profitable areas for development and investment.

   The author to the 26th. Well, the European Union's mobile phone division, EU Mobile, had plenty of money and time and marketing. However, as mobile phones became more sophisticated, EU Mobile, which was at the top while the green screen phones were simple, hit rock bottom in a very short time and was unable to make the most sought-after devices, and those on that island of South Korea, which not only is not a member of the EU, but is isolated from the rest of the world by land, and is smaller than Bulgaria, and unlike it does not lie on gold, but only coal, and where before they had no experience in making on phones, unlike EU Mobile, in no time overtook EU Mobile like a snail car, and made super sophisticated and sophisticated devices. What does that have to say? Not to mention China, where they even make successful replicas of iPhones in their garages and launch them for $ 200 each, and EU Mobile, with all its capital, name, and experience and specialists, could not make a clumsy smartphone and ended the experiments. It turned out that he can only wash and iron, and smartphone technology is crushing for him. Like a river water sample, the EU's mobile division, EU (Ericsson Siemens) Mobile, gives a clear picture of the state of the whole EU. The bad thing is that Bulgaria is also a subdivision of the EU. That is why we are on this path. They grind the gold on which we stand, the people die of hunger and cannot produce anything. There are only lighted mangers placed here and there with feeders in the faces of Lidl Billa and Kufland so that the slaves can leave the money there and not elsewhere.

   Yes, but Europe produces Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari, Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce. Why doesn't China produce them?

   Why only Europe does not produce smartphones? - and what is it for Europe to produce smartphones? Otherwise, comment7 and comment10 spoke super well.

   Author to 29th. And with the EU's car division, which is a simpler technology than smartphones, things are the same as with smartphones. Until 20-30 years ago, when cars were simpler, only mechanics without electronics, the EU was doing well, but now that electronics have entered cars, you are afraid to sit behind the wheel of a European and especially German car for a long time. . At any time, there may be a breakdown in the electronics and leave you wondering in advance, the real "treasure" for 100 bucks how to take to you, or how to save yourself if you were unlucky to be behind a border where you do not know the language and you are not in a populated area. Electronics is a big spoon for the EU, this is the realm of the smartphone. Abe cartoon work - the same symptoms as Nokia as it rose. Killing complexes from failed electronics, in a pretentious design. How Dieselgate sent Volkswagen with 16 billion is not true. That's probably why it's a rarity in South Korea to find a car from the EU's car division. 99% Kara Kia or Hyundai. And it was only a few years ago that China, the Communists, started to make cars as seriously as possible, not like the EU with a century of experience and a name behind it, but that should not reassure us. You've seen what happened to the recently unheard-of Huei smartphone brand. He's already breathing in Apple's neck. And EU Mobile looks like astronaut.

   From number 25 to the author: You look dumb. South Korea is not an island. You are talking about Taiwan, which is 100 times better developed than any European country. South Korea too. With an area exactly the size of Bulgaria, but a much larger economy than Germany, Britain, France, Russia and a number of other European countries. It no longer matters where the country is and what its area is. And this EU has nothing to do with the economy at all. He is to blame for the state of Europe today. 55 million Gypsies and Arabs with a European birth rate of less than 2 children per family. Euro? !! Fucking fictional currency. Europeans have no right to an opinion. And the most developed countries are not in the EU. Japan, China, South Korea, USA. If we remove the EU, they will breathe our dust.

   I am number 25 and 32. Now I am still a child, but when I grow up I will try to create a Bulgarian brand for smartphones. It will be produced in Bulgaria from recycled waste and in ecological factories. Healthy and quality phones will be made with a nice Android. If it happens, I will try to raise my company to the level of Sony at the moment. And if I rain it, I will not increase the extras and megapixels by 1-2 per year. Only if I succeed, but I will try. Even if I fail to develop the company, it will still exist.
