Mobile Phone Market Favouring Samsung and Apple

Believe it or not, it looks like there is some kind of race going on the mobile phone market. To compete for the top rank position amongst mobile phone manufacturers in the UK, Apple and Samsung are battling it out. According to the results of a recent survey, around 50% of the share in the market belongs to Apple and Samsung. To be precise, the two share 53.3% of the market share.

So what makes this Samsung vs Apple battle more interesting? Well, it is about cell phone recycling. When Apple launched the Apple 4S recently, it created waves in the industry and phones started getting recycled at plants in the UK. Amongst the phones getting recycled, there were many used Apple iPhones as well as other brands such as Nokia and Blackberry. Samsung was not high when it came to the list of cell phones getting recycled. Despite that, we still know that its market share is quite high as we can see the number of Samsung phones possessed by the UK residents. This change will lead to more Samsungs getting recycled in one or two years.

While talking about the Samsung phones, there is yet another thought. There is something about Samsung – whether its technology or probably the type of users it has that one does not feel a compelling need to upgrade their Samsung phones constantly. Only when it becomes totally dead, does the owner switch to a newer phone.

Last Thursday, Samsung introduced it’s hybrid of a mobile and a tablet PC at the IFA, held in Berlin.
The device’s size is almost half of a normal tablet PC and two times the size of a regular SmartPhone. This led to Samsung developing a brand new technology category.
DJ Lee, global head of marketing and sales and executive vice president at Samsung justified this new initiative stating that it is targeted primarily at the market segment that uses small notebooks to jot down ideas. For their use, Samsung has provided a special stowaway stylus to help them in drawing, note taking and screen capturing.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note runs Gingerbread 2.3 and is an Android device. It has a 5.3 inches 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED touch screen. Other features of the device are a removable 2500mAh battery, 1.4 GHz processor, 2MP and 8MP dual cameras, HSPA+ and LTE. Furthermore, it is light (178gms) and thin (9.65mm).
The operating system comes with TouchWiz and 7 home screens that have been designed to make the best use of the stylus (named ‘S Pen’ by the manufacturers). Programmes included in the hybrid are the S Planner, a to-do list app and a native calendar. It is quite easy to drag and drop applications without the need of opening up an entry.
Samsung is not yet certain about the first place that will receive Galaxy Note, so it will be sometime since we know about its availability in the United Kingdom.
