Samsung was the most profitable Android brand for quite some time, but with the failure of the Galaxy Note 7, and growth of other manufacturers, the company is no longer considered as the most profitable Android brand. That spot is now taken by the Chinese rival Huawei.

The most profitable Android smartphone manufacturer in the world is still Apple, with a staggering 91% operating profit market share. The third and fourth place are reserved for Vivo and Oppo. It is expected for Huawei to maintain steady profitability into the first half of 2017, but Samsung will definitely strike back with the Galaxy S8.
