After last week’s storm
samsungowych news I thought for a while I will have the opportunity to write about the new tablets and smartphones that manufacturer. However, it soon was derived from the error, and after a few days while I knock on the keys of Samsungu, and more specifically, about .. the new model Galaxy S4, which might be called Galaxy S4.5.
For the record, the original Samsung Galaxy S4 came in two main versions: a little more efficient (but lacking LTE) with Exynos 5 Octa, (GT-I9500) and a little slower, with a Snapdragon 600 and LTE (GT-I9505). Of course, there are a variety developed for the Chinese market (GT-I9502 with space for two SIM cards) and CDMA variant designed specifically for the U.S. Verizon customers, but they differ only in modems, so they are not very interesting for us. Many people have trouble understanding why two versions of the same and how to tell them apart, and now the situation is even more interesting, because in Korea to sell hit the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (SHV-E330S). What is it different from other “Esek”? Apart from the fact that it supports LTE-A (or download up to 150 Mb / s and upload up to 50 Mb / s), it got too … Snapdragon 800 True, it looks like the Galaxy S4.5
This equipment will for now only available in Korea (and this was only one operator), so for now we can only look at him jealous eye, but this situation has led me to take a few moments to think (and write).
Most
I wonder what they feel Samsung’s Korean customers who bought the Galaxy S4 on release day when they learned that after two months of their latest equipment did become obsolete. In some places it is seen that they are not too happy with the situation and I do not blame them, because I’d feel suckered. The same probably Apple fans would feel if 5S iPhone went on sale two months after the “top five”.
some time, I also think about whether owners, Samsung’s designers and engineers have a “vision”. The more time passes, the closer I come to the conclusion that there are none. You can not deny them a number of (more or less successful) ideas, the ability to create elaborate equipment and the fact that they know to make money. But in recent doings of the company do not see rhyme or reason, to build brand image and strategy outgoing than “flooding” the market as many products that can burn out and can not (maybe in the company employs many bitter fans sAviOr’a (such Niche joke)). But I see aggressive marketing, minimizing costs and maximizing profits, which push the client to the level of digits in a spreadsheet. I mean, how else to explain the situation with the Galaxy S4.5? After beating the eyes of cold calculation here. It looks like Samsung did not want to leave too much to the field of competitors, delaying the Galaxy S4 until the w ider availability of Snapdragonów 800 A stupid commercials would inform that the latest smartphone is the only version of “demo” coming product, so the Snapdragon S4 Galaxy 800 is hidden until the last minute.
In short, it seems to me that Samsung like some victim of its own success, because I do not really know what to do with it and how to use it. For now, posts sales and earnings are OK, but I wonder if this will always be and how much time the current “strategy” of the company will be successful, because once you lose the trust of the customer (for example, actions such as the Galaxy S4.5), the then very difficult to recover.
