Samsung Update For All

Going ahead, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series flagships have started to get the Stable Android 13 update on November 7. The gap between One UI 5’s availability for the latest S22 and older S20/Note 20 flagships is approx two weeks.

Apple and Google giving

On the other hand, Apple fits for the Update For All strategy as all the eligible iPhones receive every new software update on the same day across the world. The same goes for Pixel, Google also updates all eligible Pixel phones with new firmware update together.

Advantage for Apple and Google

iOS is an iPhone-exclusive software system, which is solely developed by Apple. As the iPhone maker itself develops and tests new firmware updates for iPhones and other devices, it makes it capable of releasing it for all. Similarly, Android is also under full control of Google, at least for Pixel smartphones.

What’s the difficulty

We know, Galaxy devices run the Android operating system and Samsung is entirely dependent on Google. The former OEM has no other choice than to wait until Google begins Android’s new update rollout for Pixel phones, however, the gap between Android and One UI debut can be lessened if Samsung joins Developer Preview party.

Samsung’s capable, we know!

Samsung is the global market leader in smartphones with the highest shipments with reach to almost every corner of the Earth. The company is well known for users’ data privacy and security which China can never offer with its mobile devices.

If Galaxy users want “update for all,” Samsung should consider their demand as there’s nothing impossible for the OEM. To do so, Samsung should work with Google and develop the new OS-based One UI skin for all kinds of Galaxies so it can be distributed as well.

About movement: In the 24 hours poll on Twitter, among around 1500 voters, 94% are in favor of ‘Update For All.’ The poll is still live, you can do vote in the Twitter linked below.

Without Google apps, Huawei phones are just empty box: Samsung

Published

on

Recently, Huawei launched its new phones and everyone is comparing them with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 or S23 Ultra but the real answer is that these phones are just empty boxes in the global market without Google apps.

So the selling point of the latest Huawei smartphones is the camera, satellite connectivity, and glittery design. The Huawei P60 and Mate X3 are two expensive devices with no added value for global consumers.

All because of two core functionalities that Samsung offers including Google apps and 5G. After the U.S. banned Huawei for alleged spying on customers, Huawei’s liability is crushed around the globe. Then, the company saw a sharp decline in its smartphone market and it’s now out of the global trends.

The lack of Google apps doubts consumers and they don’t want to spend on Huawei devices that can’t do anything at all. On the other hand, they are fleeing over to other brands including Samsung.

A friend of mine with a Huawei P50 Pro told share his experience. He said Huawei has nothing in its phone, there are stock apps and these are unuseful. The pre-installed AppGallery app store has no useful apps.

Furthermore, his phone only has 4G, which is lackluster in the 5G era. All combined, it’s just a heavily priced box that could be used for calling and some sort of photography.

There’s one major aspect of these phones includes software support, there’s no Android support. Meanwhile, global users are still waiting for a major upgrade since last year. There’s no schedule to roll out new firmware and software updates are delayed for months for even Huawei’s premium models.

So as an answer from Samsung smartphone users to people who are bragging about the innovation of new Huawei phones without Google apps and 5G are nothing more than just some expensive empty boxes that have no value in the global market.

Since there’s no official information available on the tri-folding Galaxy device, we are sure that it will be equipped with Samsung Display. As it’s going to have a tri-fold form factor, the company may bring two hinges in the device so it can fold twice and take the shape of a tablet while fully unfolded.
