Samsung’s success is completely dependent on the affordable J series, as LATAM is a price sensitive market. All other series are considered too pricey for mass consumers in the region.

Motorola captured three positions due to its affordable C series and E series. As LATAM is an operator dominated market, Motorola’s success is dependent on good relationships with operators and affordable phones which cater to the needs of the market.
