Samsung was never a "new kid on the block"

They've been making phones since the beginning Phones > Feature Phones > Slider and Flip (ahem actually clamshell) phones > Smartphones: S60, UIQ, then Windows Smartphone Edition then Android. Their a premier Android OHA partner.

You are taking it far too literally, what I mean is that when they entered Western Markets and began going after the very market that Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola had been dominating, they were like the new kids on the block. I know down here in South Africa Samsung were mostly known for their great appliances and then circa 2003 we then began seeing a very heavy push with their phones, and if I am not mistaken it was like that for them in many other countries around that time.

My point in the end is that we once again have new manufacturers that will be doing everything in their power to change people's perceptions of Chinese handsets in the same way Samsung and LG had to for the South Koreans.

The weird thing is I see a very similar pattern in the car industry, although happening at a slower rate, the South Korean manufacturers Hyundai and Kia, Hyundai being a partial owner of Kia, are making gains on the European manufacturers, and are actually making better products in some areas. Hyundai and Kia have shed off that "cheap" image they had, and can be sometimes recommended over the German competitors e.g. Hyundai I20 vs Volkswagen Polo. Looking at car prices recently I see Kia's are now being sold at higher prices, no longer as affordable as they were before, relative to competition.

We now have Chinese manufacturers trying to enter many markets where the European and S.Korean automakers have a sizable share in low end vehicles. Their offerings are pretty crap right now, and are comparable to what the Germans had in the early 90s, but give it a good 8-10years, and we are going to start seeing some great products.
