Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter::Today, Samsung posted its Q2 2023 financial results. The report says Samsung’s profits have dropped considerably compared to last year.
Who could know that refusing to patch critical bugs or, for that matter, to put any effort at all into software while constantly raising product prices would piss off the customers? It’s a mistery!
I can’t believe that the whole Android ecosystem -and I mainly blame Google, let Apple outplay it at system updates. It was always going to come to a head as people keep their phones longer and longer.
Yeah, this is not it, their mobile division performed well, it was their chips division.
From the introduction of the article above: „Samsung blames the decline in smartphone shipments for its financial troubles. Samsung is hoping the launch of its foldables will help level out these losses for the second half of the year.“
Ah shit, I read the Q1 report: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-earnings-report-3318100/
Sounds like a classic trust thermocline. Sales tend to keep stable and users put up with the shenanigans and prices while execs keep ignoring user’s complaints, until suddenly there is the straw that breaks the camel’s back and sales drop suddenly.
This makes no sense. Samsung are basically the biggest innovators in mobile software. Every big feature that google eventually adds to Android was in Samsung phones 5 years ago.
Please go and use that Samsung software. Then you might want to reevaluate your statement. They are notorious for delivering good hardware with half baked software.
I have, I’ve used it plenty. What exactly has been “half baked”?
Just google “Samsung good hardware bad software” or something like that. You will get a significant number of results. For me, the number one annoyance was when the blueborne vulnerability was discovered and their only advice was to turn off bluetooth. Months passed before they patched it, and that was when they lost me.
That’s not “half baked” though.
I’m not googling that because that’s just going to give a bunch of people parroting what you said without giving any actual examples. What Samsung software is half baked?
Yeah sure, I totally understand. I will just compile an essay on the matter and pass it to your office so you don’t have to google it.
I’m not asking for that, I’m simply asking you for an actual example of “half baked software” that you specifically brought up. Surely you have some examples off the top of your head, since you mentioned it?
