Android and Samsung ''the best Smartphone combo ever''

Samsung and Android.''Smartphones Updated x4''

Today, as we all know Android is one of the best operating systems available in the market. It was backed up financially by Google in it's early stages of development. Later on, after finding the results impressive it was bought by Google. Since then, Android is the most popular platform for mobile software developers.

Samsung has certainly earned its success. You can’t begrudge it that. The company has out-executed other Android device makers in both hardware design and software enhancements.The bottom line is that Samsung and Google forged an Android alliance that successfully stemmed Apple’s momentum in mobile devices. Ironically, it was very similar to the way Intel and Windows stemmed Apple’s momentum in personal computers a generation ago. And, let’s not forget that Samsung is also the Leading Seller in the Android Tablet Market and the leading laptop seller in the Google Chromebook market.The Google-Samsung combination is the most potent new partnership in computing and it is putting tremendous competitive pressure on Apple and Microsoft. But, can the partnership hold together? There are several competing interests that are driving a wedge between the two companies, as is common with these types of partnerships. However, in this case, the future of both companies in the mobile business as well as the overall health of the Android ecosystem itself is at stake.

HTC, LG, Motorola and others offer Android smartphones, but none has had nearly the success that Samsung has. During the fourth quarter of 2012, Samsung controlled 43 percent of the Android market and overall aggressively outsold all competitors, Apple included.

Besides money, Samsung’s domination of Android may yield other benefits. “Samsung has strong market power and it may use this position to influence the future direction of the Android ecosystem,”For example, Samsung could request first or exclusive updates of new software from Android before rival hardware vendors.Besides money, Samsung’s domination of Android may yield other benefits. “Samsung has strong market power and it may use this position to influence the future direction of the Android ecosystem,”For example, Samsung could request first or exclusive updates of new software from Android before rival hardware vendors.

Samsung's resources and reach are advantages that "no other competitor can easily match," Analyst Anshul Gupta added that, with the next-place Android vendor holding just a 6 percent share, "the Android brand is being overshadowed by Samsung brand, with the Galaxy name nearly a synonym for Android phones in consumers' mind share."

But one cant deny..it's the best partnership in recent times,I would say '' a decade''.!!!
