According to the analyst, Samsung is now struggling with the innovators dilemma and he will not be surprised if the Korean company will leave the smartphone market in the coming years. He believes that Samsung can not do anything to remedy the decline in demand for its premium smartphones.
"No amount of innovation will not save them. The average cost of Android-smartphone premium is now $ 300-400, and at such prices advanced innovations will be canceled, and the gap between the iPhone and Android will continue to grow," - says Ben Beydzharin.
We have seen the collapse of Nokia, which once was the leader in the mobile market. Not the best of times are going through HTC, Sony and BlackBerry.
General Director of Samsung Electronics Kwon Oh-Hyun said that in the IT-market, increased competition from new companies that have flooded the market with new technologies and products. According to him, Samsung is necessary to adapt now to maintain its leading position in the future.
Also, thanks to SamMobile reporters learned that Samsung has closed the department for the development of digital cameras. And staff were transferred to other units, including mobile. But this does not mean that Samsung completely discontinue cameras.
