Nevertheless, given the success of, for example, the iPhone “Mini” shows that smaller phones are also easy to sell.
Really as a “brand” you should do what Apple is doing now, you have the budget, regular, “small” high end and “over the top” models now and so there is something for every user. Samsung is now doing that and nobody cares anymore that you bring multiple “lines” to the market.
As they said on both the bright and t.net podcast recently: the smartphone is finished, Samsung has made no effort this year to come up with a better spec phone than the iPhone 13 Pro, and rightly so because no one wants “more” smartphones. .
As far as I’m concerned, it’s now finished and there is room for improvement in terms of software. Apple can load it among themselves and so on from Samsung, for example, and Samsung/Android can do the “setup” of your phone from Apple.
Sometimes, for example, in my work I get so deep into Android settings to turn on sound for an app like Teams.
So yes, it is logical that given the battery plop gate, the name Note is caught, it costs a lot of Pr to get rid of that. Can be better spent. I think.
