Indian Version of Galaxy S5 Is Slower than Global Version?

Utilizing its vertical integration, it is able to keep the costs down while also coming out with highly innovative and differentiated products, through massive spending in R&D. Samsung’s expertise in voice/data convergence, wired, wireless communications and core network technologies has produced a family of ground-breaking business communications solutions that are redefining the rules of the game. The brand loyalty is reasonable in the mobile handset market and so it can be said that switching costs for customers are reasonable. In this sense, for Samsung, it is possible to differentiate the product, switching costs for customers are reasonable, and there is huge potential for cost reduction from economies of scope.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 hardware allows the phone to be one of the fastest and most responsive phones on the market today. The Galaxy S5 was built with a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. The processor allows the phone to do multiple CPU intensive operations at one time. This can allow a computer technician to use their phone to help their customers when troubleshooting their problems

There are many competing brands of smart phones and Samsung has reported a decline of profits in 2014. Information from GSM arena shows than Samsung released 54 new phone models in 2014 , compared with 24 by HTC , 11 Motorola and 2 by Apple, leading to increased production costs and lack focus on a specific customer segments thereby losing some of its competitive advantage (GSM Arena , 2015).The lack of popularity of its own OS (Tizen ) and dependence on Google’s Android platform makes it vulnerable on google to develop an “ecosystem”. There are component integration issues as well as loss revenue from potential App sales (Strategic Mangement insight , 2015). Negative publicity from litigation due to patents are likely to continue as technology patents are vague and Samsung with is large portfolio is likely to infringe on some of the patents (Tibken, 2014).

The camera is a major specification for people who are concerned with taking nice photos. The Iphone 5s has 1.2 megapixels in the front facing camera. The Galaxy S5 has 2.1 megapixels. Since The Galaxy S5 has more megapixels than the Iphone 5s, that means the pictures taken by Galaxy S5 are going to look sharper than the pictures taken by the Iphone 5s. The camera is one of the major specifications thath consumers look for when searching to buy a smartphone. Another important specification that

Just when you thought there couldn’t be a better SoC than the Snapdragon 820, here comes another one from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 821. Qualcomm was lauded at the Mobile World Conference this year for the Snapdragon 820 and almost 80% of the flagships released this year use it. Other competitors of the SD820 include the Exynos 8890 from Samsung, A9 from Apple and the Kirin 950 from Huawei. But none of these chipsets come close to the 820, apart from Apple’s A9, which is still superior in single-core performance.

As technology evolves, scientists and entrepreneur create designs to distinguish the old from the new. In the world of mobile phones, the earliest cellular systems and phones were called 1G, meaning “first generation.” The next generation wasn’t too much of an improvement in the long run, but it was a new tool back when 1G was the new thing, now a new thing now today it’s called second generation, or 2G, to distinguish them from the earlier analog (1G) phones. While 2G phones were able to receive both digital and analog signals, earlier 1G phones were restricted to the analog networks. The increasing demands placed on mobile telephones to handle even more data than 3G could lead to the development of 4G technology. In 2008 the ITU set forward a list of requirements for what it called IMT-Advanced, or 4G. These requirements included data rates of 1 gigabit per second for a stationary user and 100 megabits per second for a moving user. This is where our generation are today while major corporation are working on the new generation, fifth generation, at least that is what the public assumes what it will be called. Its rumored to be able to include data rates of 1 gigabit per second while moving and 10 Gigabits when stationary.

Samsung adopts a local strategy since the firm originates from Korea but operates globally. The products are followed by the local lifestyle even if they are sold globally. However, this does not affect its market reception. For instance, UK consumers due to their high standard of living, have received Samsung Galaxy 8 so well (SDC, 2017). This implies that high-end electronics products are in demand.

This happens when two companies are in competitive market like monopolistic completion and so if there is a rise in the price of one good that would cause an increase in demand for a substitute. Samsung plays an important role of substitute to Apple. Where Apple is the most desirable brand but Samsung is the most preferable one. After the 2013 summary of smartphone market by Forbes. Samsung was leading by 32 percent followed by Nokia at 22 percent and Apple at 21 percent in markets of Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and India. What is common between all these countries? They all are highly populated. It is smart economic trick of Samsung as it target countries which highly populated for more

In addition to all the factors mentioned above, there are also other information that will be important for OnePlus. First and foremost, the range of screen size for a majority of smartphones in South Korea are within the range of 4.7-5.5 inches and iPhone 6 is said to be one of the smartphone with the smallest screen size which is 4.7 inches as compared to the usual size of other brands which is 5.0 inches. The demand for smartphones with screen size of at least 5.5 inches has increased and accounted for 24% volume share of total smartphones in the year of 2016. Besides, since the smartphone industry in South Korea started to market mid-to low- priced smartphones, this strategy has led successful performance in 2016. Smartphones in South

Android has grown exponentially from merely 4 percent of the market in 2009 to 66 percent of the market in 2012, according to Gartner. Samsung is Apple’s main competitor, but also Apple’s sole supplier of application processor that is required for the iPhone to function which gives Samsung the ability to charge a higher premium for their application processor. A key opportunity Apple can acquire is obtaining patents and merging into different markets to create their own application processor, as their contract with Samsung expires in 2014.

Thus far, we do not really see a shift in that arena, with Symbian having tied up virtually the entire market, and also the ‘3-3.5G era’ in its infant stage, only time will be witness to whether the cellular market moves in the same direction.

Over my last two smartphones I have been a loyal HTC customer, so when this model was announced, I was sold. Now, brand isn’t the only thing I look for in my products. It is nice to have a company you can point at and say “Yeah, their stuff is consistently solid”. However, I want quality hardware as well and had Samsung, Motorola or LG offered a better option I would have purchase differently. I am solidly in the Android camp for my cell phone needs/preferences, so an iPhone was not something I was even considering.

Samsung Mobile will introduce a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 model in March 2017.

However, technology and convenience made Samsung mobile phones become some of the most popular devices in the 21st century. Their products have been sold to millions of consumers and Samsung Mobile’s products continuously rank as best sellers. I

3. Growing demand for quality application processors. Samsung is one of the key manufacturers of application processors for smartphones and tablets. The growing demand for these products requires more best quality application processors that only Samsung provide.

2.1.2 Screen Size Diversity. People are more likely to use big screen phones than small screen phones. Before the period of big screen phones, people used to use screen size around 2.4 inches. After iPhone comes, people seem like to use big screen phones than before. However, the phone’s featuring displays was limited by 320*480 portrait. Because of the featuring displays limitation, it is hard for manufactories to make big screen phones. Thanks to capabilities launched with Donut which allowed Android to run on a variety of screen resolutions and aspect ratios. This opened the door for phones featuring displays other than 320*480 portrait. With the higher portrait, manufacturers can design bigger screen phones with an acceptable and distinct definition.
