Why did it take so long for Samsung to produce Smartphones?

Why did it take so long for Samsung to produce Smartphones over other companies e.g. Apple, and how did they manage to take over Apple financially when behind?

Not sure what you are saying. They've produced smartphones for a while just that it only really took off I guess for them when Android came around & they switched to using that OS for their phones & then a flagship model to take on the iPhone.

As far as financially, Samsung makes a broader range of phones, from the low end, mid tier & high end, vs Apple which usually just makes the high end & lately the mid tier with the SE.

(It's a lot like what happened to Beta after VHS was introduced.
Read up on that story to get the idea.)
