Samsung offers a unique ecosystem that delivers a distinct experience as compared to its competitor, Apple.
Samsung has its own OG (original) ecosystem and is even better than its rival Apple in functionality. It’s not just a phrase, but here we are mentioning some of the key reasons why, in many ways, it’s better. However, Samsung lagged behind Apple in delivering a coordinated ecosystem with well-designed gadgets, but that doesn’t mean Samsung has a lack of willpower.
Now, Samsung has covered the gap in some areas and even exceeded Apple in others. Check out the key facts mentioned below:
Samsung’s versatility over Apple
From then to now, Apple has only offered limited models, tons of monopolies, and high-budget. On the other hand, Samsung offers dozens of phones in any size and budget you could prefer. The same fact is true of tablets: Apple’s lineup has gotten more complex, but Samsung is still offering more options.
Samsung has an extra lineup: ‘Foldable phones’ –
Samsung offers dozens of foldable phones; one is a book-style foldable, and the other is a flip, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Also, we are gearing up for the latest Galaxy Z Fold 6 series. Whereas Apple has yet to offer its very first foldable device. Samsung even offers a phone with a built-in stylus, the Galaxy S Ultra’. Apple does not do that sort of thing, ever.
Samsung offers one Galaxy for every Apple device
Samsung offers one Galaxy for each Apple device; for instance, for the Apple Watch, Samsung offers the Galaxy Watch; for AirPods, there’s the Galaxy Buds; for MacBooks, Samsung laptops run Windows; or you can launch Samsung DeX on a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Both brands offer monitors, keyboards, and mice. Somehow, Samsung lacks a VR headset compared to Apple’s Vision Pro, but its ecosystem expands to smart home appliances and even TVs.
Galaxy’ are more compatible than Apple devices.
Comparing the latest devices of both brands, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung offers a better display, more RAM, and faster charging speeds than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Jumping on tablets! Galaxy S9 Ultra versus iPad Pro: Samsung offers a 14.6-inch display, whereas Apple offers a 12.9-inch. It is crystal clear that Samsung is winning here.
Samsung’s Galaxy devices are now capable of delivering similar smooth connectivity features as Apple’s. Both Apple and Samsung’s ecosystems let you share files, switch audio between devices, and more; the only difference appears in the way of functionality or features’ names.
Samsung has more features than Apple
Samsung offers more features as compared to Apple; for instance, Samsung’s DeX offers a desktop-like experience on phones and tablets and multitasking with features like resizable windows, app minimization, and a taskbar. Samsung prioritizes a UI to optimize multitasking, whereas Apple boasts a supreme app ecosystem. Samsung has yet to offer a traditional desktop operating system; currently, it integrates heavily with Microsoft’s.
Unlike Apple’s focus on supreme integration within its ecosystem, Samsung prefers to go with quality devices that are capable of performing well independently. Samsung avoids monopolies; you can seamlessly connect your Galaxy devices with non-Galaxy devices like Windows PCs.
These are key facts that transparently prove Samsung’s ecosystem is far better than Apple’s.
Samsung UK announced its Team Samsung Galaxy roster in the UK for the Olympics, 100 days before the Paralympic Games in Paris 2024.
This new announcement from Samsung UK coincides with Samsung’s global theme, “Open Always Wins.” Samsung has already unveiled its global ambassador line-up earlier this year, made up of more than 25 Olympians and Paralympians, which include UK representative Sky Brown, British skateboarding star and long-standing brand ambassador, next to breakdancer Karam Singh.
Team Samsung Galaxy presents its UK roster of outstanding athletes who represent the aspect of ‘Open Always Wins’.
Kadeena Cox (parasport athlete) is a two-sport world and paralympic champion who spearheads the paralympic movement, embodying strength and resilience. She inspires others to push boundaries. The next is Lola Tambling (Skateboarder), a rising skateboarding star full of fearless spirit who embodies the sport’s dynamism, inspiring the future generation. Joe Hinson, a skateboarder and national champion, is full of enthusiasm that reflects Samsung’s open-minded culture. Bethany Shriever, a cyclist and BMX racer, made history by winning gold at Tokyo 2020, setting a new record for British BMX racing.
The Director of Marketing, Omnichannel, and Head of Ireland, MX Division, stated that “These athletes perfectly embody the spirit of ‘Open Always Wins’, which is all about defying limitations, embracing innovation, and inspiring others to achieve their dreams. We’re fully behind these incredible people as they strive for their dreams, and we know the nation will be behind them too. We can’t wait to see them perform in Paris!”
Team Samsung Galaxy will present as the primary voices for ‘Open always wins,’ and by sharing their journeys, they will demonstrate how Samsung is helping athletes and fans just to open up new opportunities through its technologies.
Samsung Electronics confirmed that it has developed the industry’s first LPDDR5X DRAM.
The Korean giant’s LPDDR5X DRAM supports the industry’s highest performance of up to 10.7 gigabits per second. Samsung has achieved the smallest chip size among existing LPDDRs using 12nm-class process technology, solidifying its technological leadership in the low-power DRAM market.
Since AI features are a hot topic in the industry as well as becoming more common on devices themselves, there’s a growing need for powerful and efficient memory. This new LPDDR5X memory not only upgrades performance by 25% faster and 30% more capacious but is also capable of holding up to 32GB in a single package.
All of these upgrades mentioned above make LPDDR5X DRAM ideal for the demands of on-device AI. This new DRAM also boasts 25% better power efficiency as compared to older ones due to features that help to adjust power use based on demands and extend low-power modes, plus enabling mobile devices to deliver long battery life and permitting servers to minimize the total cost of ownership by lowering energy usage while processing data.
Mass production of this latest 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM will begin by the second half of the year.
