If you are an Android manufacturer and came the genie of the lamp to grant you a wish for the next 4 months, what would you ask? Surely if we were Google and we had our imminent Pixel to be launched, we would ask that we could get rid of part of the competition so that when a customer went to a store to buy a high-end smartphone in the United States, if they only wanted Android , had as the best option the smartphone manufactured by Mountain View.
That wish seems to have come true, since today we learned that Samsung has suspended production of the Galaxy Note 7, one of the best Android devices to date if we remove their problems from their equation with the battery or the hardware that has made everything that happened with that product from the Korean manufacturer become a horror movie. When the manufacture of the Note 7 ceases, the way is left for the Pixel to be one of the best options if one wants high-end.
Some are rubbing their hands
I mean Google because there are many users who they don't want iOS and they're looking for Android, but surely that Apple managers will inadvertently draw a small smile when they get up and know that the Korean manufacturer has ceased production of the Galaxy Note 7. That smile arises because this year the new iPhone 7 has played it a little by dispensing with the 3,5mm audio jack, and by not bringing much news to a smartphone that seems to be tracing itself year after year. Ah yes, the dual camera to the Huawei P9 or LG G5, but focused on the optical zoom ...
To Google surely that, although they have their Pixel already available from Verizon in the United States, he does not like everything that is happening with that horror story called Galaxy Note 7. Although on the one hand it comes in handy for the sales that it can mean for Pixel, since in one of its variants we have a 5,5 ″ phablet screen, in the end It is an Android device and it comes from one of the companies that has always promoted its OS the most.
Those from Mountain View also benefit from the fact that Apple has challenged itself with the exclusion of the jack connection, since the user looking for a high-end with this connection will surely look at the Google phone with better eyes than the other. iPhone. We will see how the figures go both for one another for the beginning of the year to be able to evaluate who has benefited the most from this serious problem of Samsung, but due to the feedback that is being collected, the Pixel is having a very positive reception.
Samsung still has margin
Possibly that if this had happened to the Galaxy S7 edge, the damage would have been much greater. Above all, because the space between the launch of the two phones is greater and the date of the new Note would have to be advanced to have a new high-end. This will happen with the new Galaxy S8 that for the MWC we will have it already launched.
That is why if now Samsung is dedicated to launching all kinds of leaks, advertising and specifications, it can fill in that sour hole left by the Note 7. Of course, let's hope they put more meat on the grill and that Galaxy S8 be the perfect phoneas they need it more than ever. A small error in that smartphone could be the end for Samsung, since a scary movie like the Note 7 can be endured by an audience that has a special affection for this brand, but another similar one could be irrecoverable.
Hopefully so, and the Galaxy S8 is a great phone, as many will be those who cross their fingers during the launch and distribution of the smartphone. I don't even want to imagine where the managers of the Korean manufacturer are going through at this time.
