Samsung Smartphone Vs Smartphones

The sensation of the iPhone is obvious in person; everywhere you go, someone has one of these devices in their possession. With millions of units selling every year, it is no wonder that the device is becoming highly ubiquitous and iconic. Like other Apple products, the iPhone is something that is easily recognized all around the world. The same phone has been selling for over four years now with cosmetic and hardware updates for each year’s new iteration, along with an operating system that is becoming more refined. Since its release in 2007, the iPhone has been a massively successful product for Apple, who has sold more than 100 million units in the iPhone's first four year, including 18.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 (Artman). Other competitors make smartphones that are better than the iPhone in many ways, yet Apple is selling more than ever. Other companies release new phones faster than the yearly refresh of Apple’s iPhones, but the latest isn’t always the greatest. It isn’t the technology that makes the iPhone successful, but rather the cool factor that the device expresses (Mintz).

Technology has become a huge part of everyday life, and people seem to have one great debate and are fighting over which is the best phone, iPhone or Android. The Apple iPhone is a cellular smartphone that was created and is maintained by Apple Inc. Android is another type of smartphone that is accessible to consumers, but the operating system is powered by Google and many different companies produce Android devices. The different operating systems and interfaces have created a long and carried out debate to which was superior. iPhone is the better phone and there are many reasons as to why it is superior to its rival, Android. The iPhone’s sleek and beautiful design has users’ hands fondling the device and never putting it down. The

Smartphones are overtaking the technology world by making it easier for people to communicate with each other every day; and everything they need to do can be done right on their smartphones. Instead of having to use cameras to take pictures, computers to send emails and to play games it all can be done on one simple device; the smartphone. A big debate that still has not been settled is whether iPhones are better or if Samsungs are better. Most people would say iPhones are better than Samsungs, however, Samsungs are the better smartphones. While both phones meet the basic phone requirements such as calling and texting, Samsung is better because it does everything the iPhone can and more. However, Samsung does a better job at meeting people’s needs because it has everything the iPhone has plus more. Samsung is a better phone than the iPhone because it can set custom ringtones for different phone contacts, it also encourages multitasking with apps which allows work to get done faster, and an ID is not needed to call or text people. This is important because people will know when to pick up the phone based on the ringtone that has been assigned to a specific person.

“More than three billion people worldwide now use the internet (Time), and 80 percent of them access if from their smartphones” (Smart Insights). A smartphone is a mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, and much more. There is an abundant amount of smartphone brands out there in the world and while they all cost different prices, they all perform the same job. Each person uses their smartphone for various reasons, whether it’s for work or to make calls or texts. Smartphones have changed society in various ways, both good and bad. Although countless individuals think that smartphones have ruined American society, smartphones have actually benefited society because of more safety precautions, information on hand, and entertainment.

Apple and Samsung are the major competitors in the smartphone field. We would, like to discuss why they’re leading and conclude which one is better. In the electronic industry these two companies fight are considered as the highest massive ever. They mainly clash for brand image and brand reputation but any consequences regarding this fight, the impact should be faced by both these companies in terms of brand reputation loss and also the loss of huge amount of money over the litigations We would like to discuss the following,

Over the last decade, electronic-based companies such as Samsung and Apple have collaborated with cellular-phone carriers, and have studied the average consumer to find endless ways to improve the cellular phone. As a result, the smart phone was born. With their ability to provide users with instant access to communication, entertainment, Internet access, calendar, news, social media, and much more, the smart phone revolutionized and shifted the path of modern technology. In 2006, Apple began this revolution with their release of the iPhone. Being the first proper smart phone, many other companies attempted to mimic the unbeatable features and technology that Apple had included with the iPhone.

Gadgets like iPhones have become a personal item for most people. The convenience that it has provided in the lives of is users are one great advantage. Most people are buying iPhones not just because this can make them look sophisticated but because this offers a lot of handy application that can be used personally or perhaps in business.

Mobile technology has come a very long way. When it comes to purchasing a cell phone there is an overwhelming amount of choices. Brand names, carriers, options, price, storage and applications just to name a few. Even for the tech-savvy individuals, the choices may seem overwhelming. For the non-tech savvy individuals the choices are, to say the least, mind-blowing. Two of the top phones on the market today are the Samsung Galaxy and the Apple iPhone. This paper focuses on two of the newest models offered by Samsung and Apple, the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6. The goal is to break down some of the more popular features and compare the two side-by-side to aid the tech-savvy (and not so tech-savvy) individuals with making a choice that is the best for them.

With everything going on in the world it is laughable how people are constantly arguing over whether the Android beats the iPhone or vice versa. For a numerous amount of years, iPhones and Androids have competed for the prestigious title of the best phone a person could buy. Although iPhones and Androids share similar features, when a sense of competition is presented, there has to be only one winner. There are some people who are undoubtedly loyal to the iPhone and there are others who are certainly devoted wholeheartedly to the Android. There is also the mix of people who have an Android but love the iPhone and people with the iPhone who love the Android. Of course they are other phone brands out there other than the illustrious iPhones and Androids. The difference in Android and iPhone features, such as communication, freedom, apps, display size, etc., demonstrates how some good healthy competition could cause people all around the country to debate with one another on a daily basis.

At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style. They keep us organized, send information to us in different ways, even shape and offer solutions such as for politics, economies, problems whether individual ones or globally. Smartphones capitalize on shared knowledge and has opened the door to inventors and those who have the knowledge to make our world a more connected place and lives easier by sharing it with us to use. We are able to communicate with other people far off, through space-time compression or shrinking-space to gather news and information.

After years of dealing with the same device fragmentation, with every company releasing their iteration of what they thought the “smart device” was, Apple unveiled the new iPhone in January of 2007. The iPhone was revolutionary in both design and functionality. The iPhone contained a sleek body with full touch screen (side to side), that allowed unparalleled browsing of the web, text messaging, voice calls, and even applications that could be downloaded from the market. Google, not as predominantly in our lives as today, announced later that year in November of 2007 that they had their own mobile operating system, Android OS. As time went on, companies like Microsoft with their Windows Mobile devices and Blackberry, caved to the new upcoming market. Android OS and the iPhone would become the leaders of the new mobile device world order (Arthur, 2012).

Smartphone market is fast-moving and very high competitive due to intense competition between two big smartphone producers, Apple and Samsung. At the beginning, Apple dominated this market solely by introducing a new innovative type of smartphone by Steve Jobs that has revolutionized people lifestyle and mobile industry. A few years after launching iPhone, a new fast following competitor, Samsung came into this market, and their sales have outperformed Apple from the year 2011 (According to Chart A1 in Appendix). In term of developing their product, Samsung has created its products by following Apple’s technology since the beginning of producing its smartphone, therefore there are many patent lawsuits between them. Since Steve Job passed away, Apple has continued to develop its core competence, which is an innovation of new type of smartphone that could help them to take back their market share from its rival, Samsung. Nonetheless, the competition between Apple and Samsung will still continue intensively in the future.

Smart phones are continuing to grow and advance. The Android and the iPhone are two of the biggest smart phones bought in the world today; however, what attracts someone to the iPhone more than the Android or the Android more than the iPhone? Is it the way the iPhone shines in the sun or the Android's astonishing camera quality? These two smart phones differ and correlate in so many ways.

Albert Einstein once said, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” Indeed, in the world of ever-changing technology, the breathtaking evolution of cellular phones clearly exemplifies such technological advancement. Today, cellular phones have the capacity beyond making calls; they have evolved to portable, multitasking devices that a new name has been endowed to them – smartphones. Recently, many claim that Google’s new Nexus S is a serious challenger who is ready to dethrone the king of smartphone – Apple’s iPhone 4. But the iPhone 4’s better industrial design, hardware, and software make the Nexus S an inadequate competitor that lags in many aspects.

Apple had long been spearheading the industry with repeated successes of the iPhone model. Samsung
