Simplicity Leads the Way in LG Charge for iPhone Territory
In the media lately, there has been a lot of speculation over whether or not any company will be able to give Apple a serious run for their money. Since the iPhone was first brought to market, many critics have predicted its success would be eminent but might not be as long lived as it has proven to be. this is probably due to the fact that most products in the consumer device industry, particularly phones, have not usually held such a high position for so many product cycles the way Apple has managed to do with the iPhone. There are definite boosts to the Apple image with each succeeding victory, but some critics say they may have painted themselves into a corner with their one size fits all approach when consumers have thrived on a variety of product mix in the past. There is not a low cost iPhone version the way there are with many devices and not all consumers want to have state of the art or simply an older model, many would like what the LG Pop offers, say reviewers, with its low cost and a stripped down approach to features that is designed to get rid of the options many consumers do not care about. The primary aim of the phone is to give users a device which answers their desire for a smart phone without all of the excess that they have spoken out against. This puts the Pop in a very strong position to take over the lower price end of the smart phone market with its new product.
Adding to this the fact that it is a smaller, lighter smart phone also gives it strength in the market. There are still features such as its lighted button glowing green when pressing it would initiate a new call or red when the same button would end the call, but these features are very specific.
Smart Phone Customers Consider Features of Samsung Wave and iPhone
As the future of smart phones begins to grow ever brighter, consumers have come to take it for granted that features will be piling up with each and every release. They certainly have to thank Apple for these expectations as the iPhone is almost a brand new machine with each release it goes through. This has made it very tough for the company’s competition to keep up since the other companies in the market had not been ready when Apple dropped the bomb on the market with its surprise unveiling of its industry standard iPhone. This has lead many companies to scramble their R and D departments to design some sort of device that could come close and the key to competing with the iPhone, according to those watching the market today, is having the right mix of features that buyers are actually going to care about. The Samsung Wave proves that the Korean electronics giant just might have a solid grasp of this since the device is far more than a phone and offers an impressive on board camera and camcorder combination that would be great as stand alone devices, much less additions to a smart phone. By leveraging their expertise in the consumer electronics market, the company has gone to great lengths to pair their own strong points with teams of developers that could create highly convenient software in the form of an OS that consumers would be able to learn extremely fast and it appears they may have achieved this.
It is looking to many analysts as if Apple may want to take some time with heir next release to make sure they have all their ducks in a row since the Wave is set to offer so many options consumers just may begin to favor it over the proven standard.
