Samsung makes high-quality flagship phones that cost more than Rs 60,000 every year. But, did you know that Samsung phones carry the lowest second hand value in comparison to the iPhones. The value of iPhone and Samsung Galaxy flagship (the S series) phones, which probably shows why iPhone still continues to sell in big numbers, even though it costs a hell lot more.
