Smartphones…The Evolution and the Battle to the Top !

There was a time when mobile phones were used just to make a calls or send messages or to listen music and having to have the radio feature was such an augmented thing among the mobile devices that time.

Soon, camera phones began to grab all the limelight!

From being heavy hardware instruments to small in size to bigger in size and light in weight, the mobile devices had a paradigm shift.

Earlier, having a bigger phone was such a gimmick but if we talk about the latest trends, having to have a bigger mobile is such a norm. I mean if you guys have seen the latest offering from Apple which is the iPhone 6 and the 6+, the size of the phone is around 5.5 inches and now even Samsung is launching its new flagship which will be around 5.7 inches to 5.8 inches.

But what is the factor that is actually driving these companies? Is it the hardware or the applications that are available in the Mobile App Market?  Or the Software that these companies has to offer with their Smartphones?

Well, the answer is simple, it is the hardware that these companies offers actually makes most of the impact, and if we talk about the apps that these companies have in their market place is something which is nearly the same, since the apps are developed by the developers and the programmers and not actually by these companies themselves ! So the apps has a very low edge of being the contributor to the sales of these devices.

Talking about the iPhone users, these are the ones who once use the device has a very low tendency of shifting to an android or other OS. And also the branding which is associated with Apple is too strong that once you buy an Apple, you tend to buy Apple only be it any device! (Chances are very high!)

And if we talk about Samsung, than Samsung too is becoming strong as the market share that was once associated with HTC, Motorola is now shifting towards Samsung! But does Samsung has to look Apple as its only competitor or try to compete head on with Apple?

 I think Samsung should start thinking about brands like Xiaomi and Lenovo, as these are the brands which are becoming more popular next to Apple, and these are the prime competitors of Samsung of which Samsung should be thinking about first than to go head on head with Apple.

But eventually, it is all uncertain! Who knows there might be a brand who can actually rule the Smartphone market in the future as once done by Nokia.

At the end of the day, it is the technology that drives everything.

So that’s that for today! See you around. Stay Digital and keep sharing!

Go by the name !

Hello Everyone ! I know my first blog looks more of a letter, the reason is that being an amateur into blogging world is like you are forced to be in Titanic and not allowed to leave the ship and there you go ! The ship drowned. Step by step i think i will be able to blog as what's required from a blogger. Nothing more in this post as this is my first blog feels like its my first step after birth ! :p So, The title "Go by the name" is actually an indication, so that you actually see my name which says "King of Grammatical Mistake", which does describes about my ENGLISH,  But hey, not being grammatically correct does not mean i cannot communicate. Though i know till now i must have made tons of grammatical mistakes in this post, but the prime motive of this newly adapted blogging hobby of mine is to communicate my viewpoints, thinking and also to share information that i do have (I actually  have) with you. So, that's that for now, looking forward for...

Kasol: The Israel of India

Image
My heart pumped wildly even before I was exposed to the trippy air of Kasol . No, it wasn't because I was smoking up. The road leading to this popular hill station is so nerve-rackingly dangerous that every time the car took a sharp turn (and there were plenty of those), I looked out the window with trepidation. On one side of the highway stands massive and mean looking rocks that threaten to slide on to the road causing havoc. And on the other side is the Beas river with an unrelenting current. The car had to tread a delicate path between these two stubborn natural obstacles. The life of 5 passengers (including mine) was entirely in the hands of the driver and there was no margin for error whatsoever.  Tosh: Where Time Stands Still The sun had set by the time I stepped inside the Energy Cafe for snacks. The smell of hash reeked from every corner of the dim lit cafe with Bob Marley posters on the walls. In time, I realised that Bob Marley is the God, Schnitz...

Indian startups need their Krishna to win the new-age ‘Mahabharata’

Unlike other developed economies – when the  leaders of Flipkart and Ola came together to seek some form of protection  from the government against companies dumping foreign capital to capture market share. They were scoffed at by the elite and criticised by the media. Contrast this to China – where the government has kept the tech sector tightly regulated and has invested billions of dollars in Alibaba and Didi Chuxing through its Sovereign Wealth Fund. It has constantly changed policy to favour local companies and the result is evident to everyone – Amazon, Uber, Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube have all lost out to Chinese companies. Having lost out in China, these companies have retrained their laser-sharp focus on the Indian market. With the US companies turning their eyes to India and the Chinese companies becoming big enough to compete against their US counterparts – India will be the Kurukshetra of this battle – and Indians will be ...
