Samsung slashes Galaxy S III, S II and Note prices

iPhone 5 effect? Samsung slashes Galaxy S III, S II and Note prices

New Delhi: In what seems to be a step to undercut the effect of iPhone 5, which got two million pre-booking orders in just 24 hours, Samsung has reduced prices of some of its premium handsets, making them more lucrative than before. Among the handsets, whose prices have been reduced, include the much celebrated Galaxy SIII, the Galaxy SII and the Galaxy Note.
Now, Samsung's Galaxy SIII costs Rs 34,990, a reduction of Rs 3000 from its earlier price of Rs 37,990. The Samsung Galaxy SII, which was retailing at Rs 27,990 just a few days back, is now available for Rs 25,990.
The 5.3 inch display bearing Galaxy Note phablet has also seen a major price drop from Rs 32,990 to Rs 29,990. However, the reduction can be attributed to the launch of Samsung Note II which is likely to be available within few days and can be pre booked from Samsung's estore.

Samsung Galaxy SII's new competitors
Galaxy SII comes with a 4.3 inch Super Amoled (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) Plus display, an ARM cortex A9 based 1.2 GHz dual core processor, an 8 megapixel rear camera which is capable of full HD 1080 video recording, and a 2 megapixel front facing camera. The SII also supports Near Field Communications or NFC as well for mobile transactions. It has also received Android 4.0 through an upgrade recently.
The Galaxy SII after the price drop competes with Motorola's flagship Moto Razr which comes in a very sturdy body and features similar specification.
It now also would face competition from HTC Sensation XE which has similar specification but has a slightly faster processor, and is specially designed for better music and camera output. Another competitor is the Sony's Xperia P which again is a very good match in terms of specifications.
Samsung Galaxy Note's new competition
With the price drop, the Samsung Galaxy Note now shares space with the likes of HTC One S. Though the HTC handset has a better 1.7 GHz dual core processor compared to 1.4 Ghz dual core unit of Note but it has a much smaller 4.3 inch screen against the 5.3 inch display of the Samsung smartphone.
Similarly Sony Xperia S and SL are priced in this range and offers better camera with 13 megapixel unit compared to 8 megapixel of Note. Also, while Xperia S has a 1.5 Ghz dual core processor, the Xperia SL boasts a 1.7 Ghz dual core processor.
Samsung Galaxy SIII
SIII has been in the league of its own in terms of pricing. With this reduction in price, it has though now become cheaper than Sony Xperia Ion by Rs 1,000. This is definitely not a good news for the Sony smartphone, which though has a better 12 megapixel camera, could not be a match of SIII with its 1.5 Ghz dual core processor.
Samsung Galaxy SIII has a 4.8 inch HD Super Amoled display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, a quad core 1.4 GHz Exynos 4 mobile processor, Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and the new TouchWiz user interface.
It also features an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. It's capable of recording full 1080p HD videos at 30 frames per second. At the front there is a 1.9 megapixel camera that is capable of 720p HD videos for video chats.

Samsung sorry for bloggers' Berlin nightmare

"How Samsung treated me really hurt me" ... Indian blogger Clinton Jeff.
Samsung's crisis culture: a driver and a drawback
Samsung has apologised to an Indian blogger who claimed the company stranded him and another blogger in Germany after they refused to become Samsung promoters.

How Samsung treated me really hurt me. I mean I did not expect that at all. Come on, who does that?

Clinton Jeff of Unleash the Phones, and another man who chose not to be named, were offered free flights and accommodation by Samsung to attend the IFA 2012 tech show in Berlin, Germany as part of its "Mobilers" ambassador program.

At IFA Samsung announced several major new products including its Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Camera. The bloggers said they were told in advance they would be completely independent and under no obligation to become Samsung promoters at the event.

But when they landed in Berlin Jeff said they were told they had to wear Samsung uniforms and man the Samsung booth at the show everyday, demonstrating the company's wares to press.

Jeff told Fairfax Media he protested against the request, arguing he was there as an independent journalist. "We then got a call from Samsung India saying, you can either wear the uniform, or get our own hotel and flight tickets home," said Jeff.

The pair had planned to stay for the full IFA event from August 31 to September 5.

They raced to get in contact with their Samsung connection in India but Jeff said they received another call "saying that our [original] flight tickets are cancelled, and that we'd get a flight on [September 1] to go back, but only if we wear the Samsung t-shirt" to its launch event.

Not knowing how they would be able to afford to get home without Samsung's help, the bloggers agreed to attend the Samsung Unpacked launch event in Samsung shirts. They also agreed not to blog about the incident ("None of this should leave Berlin. Or reach India," Samsung reportedly told the pair).

But the story lit a fire in the blogosphere after it was reported by The Next Web . Nokia soon stepped in offering to cover the pair's accommodation for the whole of IFA and their flights home.

Samsung has since emailed Jeff to "deeply apologise" for his experience in Berlin, admitting "we put you through undue hardship and we are trying to rectify the situation".

The company also put out a press release on the issue but did not admit fault in its statement. It put the issue down to a "misunderstanding" and said no activities were forced upon bloggers who it invites to its marketing events around the world.

"How Samsung treated me really hurt me," said Jeff. "I mean I did not expect that at all. Come on, who does that? All we wanted was to cover their products, and maybe others but this was insane."

The Guardian reported that it confirmed there had been a similar "misunderstanding" with a French technology blogger who was sent by Samsung to the Olympics in London. Instead of attending events the blogger was told she had to create promo video and photos.

Samsung provides the free trips to bloggers under its "Mobilers" program in which bloggers get to trial the latest Samsung products and attend its events. But the way it is structured appears to blur the lines between editorial and cash-for-comment in the blogosphere.

Jeff said he still intended to cover Samsung devices impartially on his blog. In a tweet published this morning he said he met Samsung representatives who apologised profusely and told him "the Mobilers program was not targeted towards professional bloggers like me".

Summary: If blogger don't wear Samsung T-shirt and Promote Samsung then his flight ticket and hotel will be cancelled and stranded in Berlin

Samsung one step ahead in patent battle

Samsung one step ahead in patent battle

Samsung has been locked in legal battles with Apple over its Galaxy smartphone. Photo: Bloomberg
When a jury in San Jose, California, ordered Samsung Electronics to pay $US1.05 billion in damages for violating Apple's patents for the iPhone and iPad, it did more than decide who had infringed upon whose intellectual property. To South Koreans, the legal battle highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of both Samsung and their economy in general.

"The ruling makes us reconsider the brand value of Samsung because it depicts Samsung as a copycat," said James Song, who monitors Samsung for KDB Daewoo Securities in Seoul. "But a copycat or not, what Samsung has done with its smartphones was a brilliant move."

"Look what has happened to companies like Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry, which didn't do as Samsung did," Song added, referring to competitors whose failures to adapt quickly to the smartphone boom driven by iPhones have drastically reduced their market shares. "Samsung may lack in innovation, but right now, no one can beat Samsung in playing catch-up."

For months, the South Korean media have watched avidly as Samsung, the world's largest technology company by sales, has clashed with Apple, the world's No. 1 company by market value, over patent lawsuits in various countries.

Calling Samsung South Korea's biggest, most profitable and most globally recognised brand barely explains the intense and often mixed emotions the name evokes among South Koreans. In Samsung, they see the crown jewel of their country's transformation from a war-torn agrarian society into a global technology powerhouse.

Once an assembler of clunky transistor radios, Samsung is now the world's top seller of smartphones and high-resolution television sets, as well as memory chips and flat-panel displays that allow those devices and others to store and display data.

Japanese companies have beaten rivals to the market with hardware innovations like flat-panel televisions and high-end mobile phones. Samsung waited for the others to test the market and when it determined the time was right, it joined the fray to cash in.

Samsung's strategy was to build something similar to another company's product but to make it better, faster and at lower cost. When it pounced, it flooded the market with a wide range of models that were constantly updated with incremental improvements at a speed its rivals found hard to match – a strategy best illustrated by its smartphone business.

Heavy investments have not been a problem; it once secured low-cost loans from a government-controlled banking sector friendly to big business and now draws on its own coffers, which are sloshing with cash.

Several years ago, Sony, Sharp and Panasonic were the first companies to market flat-screen televisions. But they obsessed over craftsmanship or held onto the old cathode-ray tube while dithering over the rival flat-panel technologies of plasma screen and liquid crystal displays, or LCDs.

Samsung placed billion-dollar bets on mass production of television-size LCDs. Its economies of scale helped it drive down prices to create, then clinch, the LCD television market.

Five years ago, Sony was the first company to make what is widely seen as the next-generation television. It featured the OLED display — organic light-emitting diode — which is thinner, more vivid and more energy-efficient. Sony was never able to mass-produce or market it; it was too expensive. Samsung and its domestic rival, LG Electronics, tiptoed in, building mass-production capabilities by first making smaller OLEDs for high-end smartphones. Then last week they pounced, announcing the marketing of 140-centimetre OLED televisions.

"Koreans do things quicker than almost anyone," said Anthony Michell, the author of Samsung Electronics and the Struggle for Leadership of the Electronics Industry. "This allows them to change models, go from design to production faster than anyone at the present time. Korean companies continually set themselves challenges, like the challenge to overtake Sony in terms of brand value in the past."

Samsung Electronics is the flagship of Samsung Group, a family conglomerate that controls more than 80 companies that build oil tankers and apartment complexes, run hotels and amusement parks and sell insurance to housewives and artillery pieces to the military. The flagship's operations are often faulted for their opacity. But analysts say that also allows Samsung to place huge bets and do so quickly.

Samsung makes not only hardware but also its components; it is Apple's biggest parts supplier and its fiercest competitor in the completed smartphone market. In a way, its rivals help Samsung compete with them. Samsung's handset business was its growth driver, raking in 20.5 trillion won ($17.5 billion) in the second quarter.

The strategy worked well for the latest product it dominated — smartphones — until Apple declared war over intellectual property in April 2011, accusing the South Korean company of "slavishly copying" the feel and look of its iPhone and iPad.

After the court victory, Apple lawyers sought injunctions against sales of Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the United States.

But those products had already lived through their life cycles in Samsung's fast-paced marketing plan, analysts and Samsung officials said. With characteristic speed, Samsung had already retooled its latest Galaxy S III smartphones to stay ahead of the patent battle — removing, for example, the function that makes the screen "bounce back" after being pulled to the end of a page.

Indeed, Samsung appeared to consider the legal trouble a necessary cost of squeezing out a giant in yet another field it is fast dominating. Samsung's smartphone sales in the second quarter grew 150 per cent to 50.5 million units, or a record 35 per cent of the market, according to the research firm Strategy Analytics. Apple grew 28 per cent, to 26 million units. Apple will attempt a surge back with its new iPhone 5 this year, but Samsung is ready to roll out the Galaxy S IV as a counter.

"The patent ruling and Samsung's copycat image will have a negative impact on Samsung's sales of cellphones and other products," said Kevin Lee, an analyst at Korea Investment and Securities. "But Samsung will further widen the gap with Apple in the third quarter, though not as much as expected before the ruling."

Samsung is appealing the California verdict, which it called "a loss for the American consumer". Song said that despite the verdict, the fight for the smartphone market was over and had been decided in Samsung's favour.

In South Korea, where Samsung's achievements are a source of national pride, many perceived a bias against a foreign competitor in the US jury verdict. Still, the ruling reminded South Koreans of something their country painfully lacked, a shortcoming magnified by comparisons between Samsung and Apple.

Although the name Samsung is synonymous with sophistication among South Koreans, the company has never created a product so innovative that it has defined an era in consumer culture, like the Sony Walkman or the Apple iPhone.

"Copying and clever upgrading are no longer viable," the daily JoongAng Ilbo, The International Herald Tribune's publishing partner in South Korea, said in an editorial. "Samsung must reinvent itself as a first-mover, despite the huge risks involved in acting as a pioneer, if it hopes to beat the competition."

TLDR:
1)Samsung's strategy was to build something similar to another company's product but to make it better, faster and at lower cost.Then flooded the market with a wide range of models that were constantly updated with incremental improvements at a speed its rivals found hard to match

2)Samsung must reinvent itself as a first-mover, despite the huge risks involved in acting as a pioneer, if it hopes to beat the competition

3)Apple will attempt a surge back with its new iPhone 5 this year, but Samsung is ready to roll out the Galaxy S IV as a counter.

Very Unbiased view. Any butthurt is FAG

'Ice Cream Sandwich' powers 1.6 percent of Android

'Ice Cream Sandwich' powers 1.6 percent of Android devices

By Adrian Kingsley-Hughes | March 21, 2012, 6:42am PDT

Summary: Android is horribly fragmented, with most devices stuck several versions behind the latest release.

Android 4.0 ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ was publicly released on 19 October 2011. But nearly five months down the line, this operating system powers only 1.6 percent of Android devices, according to data collected by Google.

The data only covers up to March 5, so it doesn’t cover the entire five-month period of the release yet. This figure is up from 0.6 percent back in January.

The data also shows how fragmented Android is, and how far in the past some of the users are stuck. 62 percent of Android devices are running Android 2.3–2.3.7 ‘Gingerbread’ that released in December 2010, while another 25 percent are running Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ which was released in May 2010.

Android 2.1 ‘Eclair,’ released October 2009, still powers 6.6 percent of devices, which is more than run Android 3.0 ‘Honeycomb’ and Android 4.0 ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ combined.

The historical data chart shows just how bad Google’s problem with fragmentation has become.

Google may be seeing 850,000 new Android device activations per day but it seems that these are primarily devices running older releases of the Android platform. It’s also likely that adoption of Android 4.0 is being slowed because handset makers and carriers are painfully slow getting the update out to customers with handsets that can run it.

The Fall of Giants: Sony and RIM Continue To Lose

staylowbutsafe — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:02:30 +0800

I wasn’t surprised to hear that both Sony and RIM are spiraling into market irrelevancy. It’s been an inevitability since about 2009 that Sony would see declining fortunes and it’s been clear for months that RIM is near death. I’m just sad to see both of them go.
Sony is losing because it lost the popular imagination. Once upon a time, Sony build solid, popular products for the world. However, with the rise of mobile technology and the ridiculous Sony Ericsson partnership that effectively hobbled Sony in the cellphone race, Sony lost much of its cachet and could make its money in what folks would term “CE” – TVs, sound systems, and the like – leaving little else in terms of high-turnaround items with an acceptable (but not amazing) margin like laptops, phones, and media players.
Sony, in short, fiddled while Samsung, Apple, and Dell/HP took its markets away one by one. Sony was known for music players. They haven’t had a best selling player in years and Apple has. Sony was known for laptops. They haven’t had a compelling laptop in years and Dell/HP have. Sony was known for selling good TVs and sound systems. Samsung is slowly creeping up in that regard. Sony, in short, can’t make a living doing the things at which it used to excel.
Then there’s RIM. They, too, lost the popular imagination. Now that the IT market and the consumer market have converged, there’s little draw for a phone that prides itself at being the pride of businessmen. You used to buy a Blackberry because your IT team made you. Now you buy a Blackberry because your IT team is lazy or scared and doesn’t want to support new standards.
Joel Johnson wrote a nice series on Sony back in 2010 outlining everything wrong with everything at Sony. In short, the biggest problem was the rise of proprietary formats, which Joel noted were a “screw job.” The same goes for RIM – RIM locked up its network and locked in its customers. Now those customers want out.
But I don’t want to excoriate these guys too much. Sony and RIM redefined computing in their own ways, adding technologies and techniques to the techno lexicon that didn’t exist before they created them. The compact disc, the keyboard phone, mobile messaging, HD video – these are all things that Sony and RIM introduced to a benighted world. But they rested far too long on the laurels of temporary success. Companies at their apex – Apple and Samsung included – would do well to learn from their mistakes.
