According to Dediu, Samsung's ad budget was over $4 billion last year, which is more than four times what Apple spent. He also says Samsung spend an additional $5.3 billion on other marketing through sales promotions, but he doesn't know how to compare that to Apple.
Dediu gets his numbers by analyzing "Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses" from Samsung Electronics' filings.
