Androidome - Samsung is working hard to dominate the phone market. The release of S III last year was a clear notification to the Cupertino company that Samsung meant business and although the latter responded with an even powerful iPhone 5 but it failed to deliver what it promised and many users weighed Galaxy S III better over the iPhone 5. But now Samsung is ready to roll out S IV. Is there any need of this phone at the moment?
The Samsung settlement is for just under $14 million dollars, but only $2.8 million is actually going to consumers.
The Galaxy S4, in its day, was a pretty capable smartphone. However, with its fourth birthday fast approaching, its update period has long since passed.
It was everything we ever wanted – a high-end smartphone from one of the world’s biggest Android OEMs, without the crapware known as the younger version of TouchWiz. At Google I/O in 2013, Google announced the first two models in the Google Play Edition lineup of devices, the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition.
They are gonna push hard until they match the numerical Value of the Iphone. I.E. when the iphone 7 comes out, they want to be on the GS 7. Its all about perception. Its the main reason Xbox 360 wasn't names xbox 2. They did not want to seem inferior to the playstation 3.
It is very needed, while their market presence is high, it is mainly because people who do not choose an iphone are basically given no choice of high end handsets. They have alot of ground to cover when it comes to software and hardware marrying as well as build materials.
I'm sorry but i see these articles and similar comments at least once a week and it blows my mind that people want tech to stop advancing just so people wont be butthurt that their phone is outdated.
But then I'm I remind myself that people like this only view their phones as status symbol devices instead of the incredibly useful tools that they actually are.
I look forward to my next phone like everyone else but all these modern super-phones will still be great devices for the 2 years (or whatever contract you sign) you have to wait.
They should just starting naming these phones by year now since they release them every year.
