Teedeechian:You talk as if the BlackBerry was not once a smartphone leader.. At the time BlackBerry dominated the world, did you hear any stories of security breach? |
ollah1:Now, here is what Wall Street is saying and lets see how it's contradicts what's in your link. Apple announces fourth-quarter results Tuesday, and with the stats, the company will say how many iPhones sold in the quarter. Wall Street expects sales of 48 million to 49 million, which would greatly top last year’s shipment of 39 million iPhone 6 models in its first quarter. It's expected to make $1.88 a share on sales of $51.1 billion, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/10/26/how-many-iphones-did-apple-sell/74633802/ However, let it be clear, that I was reacting to a claim that Apple's sales are down like that of Samsung, which of course is a fallacy. This is a more recent report from 5-hrs ago.. from the BBC... http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34653638 You can also play with this link http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2015/10/27/live-blog-apple-earnings-expected-to-show-strong-iphone-6s-sales/ Relying on an "un-official" data from Pacific Crest, really shows the seat can only be yours. |
ollah1:Take a chill pill man. Stop quoting me out of context. Yes, Samsung hasn't fallen, but it has reached its saturation point. That's why I pointed out that if it can't find a way to go mainstream with its Tizen OS or do something different, very soon it won't have any bragging right since it doesn't control the OS. Google calls the shot. Unlike Apple and iOS. Needles to say Samsung makes more revenue but Apple makes more profits? |
ollah1:I don't know where you got your data from that Apple sales are down. Stop writing to suit your emotions buddy. ![]() The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are the fastest selling Apple products to date. The iPhone 5S & 5C sold 9-million units on day one. The iPhone 6 & 6 Plus sold 10-million on day one. The 6S and 6S Plus sold 13-million units on day one. When I said Samung sales were plummeting, I didn't say that on my opinion. It's a fact and Samsung has had to lower their sales forecast in the last two fiscal year. Please take a seat! |
koice:I certainly have no bias against any brand. Like I always say, I don't write based on emotions and assumptions, I write purely on facts. Our articles are designed to be objective at best. I can't see where there is a "lie" in what you said above. It's no longer news that Samsung ship is sinking, losing 20% of sales forecast with the S5 is definitely a bad signal. With more manufacturers making Android devices, there is more trouble ahead if Samsung can't get its Tizen OS to hit the mainstream. I have written more articles against BlackBerry than Samsung and I have equally written to favor both brands. Why you are seeing this is simply because BlackBerry Priv is on the way and it would be the most secure mainstream smartphone ever to hit the planet. And of course, Samsung tried to steal the show by releasing a back-case cover that has a physical qwerty keyboard for its S6 Edge plus and Note 5. So far, that idea has been an embarrassing flop. |
koice:This is really unfair. ![]() |
attention007:The deal actually ends in 2016 and Nokia isn't making the phones. It's been contracted to another company, who will use the brand. Microsoft acquired Nokia's devices and service plants (including staff) globally, so it's difficult for Nokia to just start manufacturing phones in full capacity. However, I don't see Nokia making a decent "come back".. What kind of gimmick can they pull off that we have not seen? From Alcatel, Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. These brands dominated the world in their prime and when they fell, it was a heavy fall. So don't put too much hopes on Nokia buddy ![]() |
ollah1:I am fine, thanks ![]() |
LeonMacJames:You guys love poking fun at Tecno. The software update you are getting is only peculiar to Android One devices. After two years, from the day the product was launched, you will no longer to entitled to software update. If you compare Tecno products with other products, it's okay to say Tecno still gets faster updates, purely automatic than other devices. Ref. Tecno Camon C8. |
ollah1:That's why I had to bold some text, so the technology behind it won't be alien. Let's keep our fingers crossed anyway. How are you today? ![]() |
stardragon:It won't take up to 5-years. Android has reached its peak and it's saturated. I can see a very bright future with Windows 10 Mobile. |
porrigeyam:Do you know the only smartphone the U.S president can use is a BlackBerry? That's the answer to your doubt. ![]() |
ollah1:You probably didn't read what I wrote.. I can't find why you are flexing your muscle. ![]() |
Ufranklin92:What's up buddy? ![]() |
samsard:I think it's over. BlackBerry Hub on Google Play? This is a sad news for BlackBerry lovers. BlackBerry is literally dead! There is nothing to brag about anymore.. |
Panshow:I think what BlackBerry should have done with the BB10 0S, instead of side-loading Android apps is what Microsoft has done with Windows 10 Mobile. Project Astoria and Windows Bridge for iOS (previously known as Project Islandwood) will easily port Android and iOS apps respectively to Windows Store, where users can download and install without stress. BlackBerry's approach was rather archaic and it cost them a lot. |
The failure of Samsung to meet sales expectation with the Galaxy S5 sent a negative signal, forcing Samsung to re-invent itself with the S6 Edge, an innovative device having two curved edge at both sides of the display. Although, this didn’t prevent Xiaomi from trouncing Samsung in China. Samsung has already surrendered to OEM’s offering smartphones made from cheap internal components targeted at emerging markets. Now, BlackBerry looks like it’s going to give Samsung the final blow that will force it to drop a large chunk of its global dominance. Xiaomi offers cheap smartphones as an alternative to Samsung phones, Apple matches Samsung with its highly specced iPhones while BlackBerry is set to “snatch” users who care so much about their privacy. Fortunately, there are tens of millions of users who now consider privacy a big issue when it comes to interaction with mobile phones. This is where BlackBerry will lead a mobile onslaught on Samsung, and try to reclaim its lost glory. Security BlackBerry Priv will do everything that Samsung flagships does including the introduction of a new design element, an external qwerty keyboard and access to millions of apps on Google Play which plagued the fantastic BlackBerry OS 10. The biggest talking point is that BlackBerry is going to offer its secure and manageable Priv on Android using its new BES12 device management system. This is simply a union between the most flexible OS and the most secure OS. Android is robust and flexible while BlackBerry OS 10 is the most secured OS to date. BlackBerry’s success has been tied to a solid encryption. It is also said that its failure has been based on “too much” encryption. In 2014, former NSA lawyer Stewart Baker maintained that BlackBerry killed its self because of its rigid encryption policy. Baker also warned that Apple and Google could end up like BlackBerry if they continued their privacy encryption. However, users have become more aware of how important it is to keep a tab on their privacy following a leaked document by former NSA contractor Edward J. Snowden, which exposed details of NSA surveillance programs to the press in 2013. More Security BlackBerry Priv will be totally different from Samsung flagships. If you are thinking you are going to flash the Priv by simply rooting the device, that’s going to be an exercise in futility. That will never happen! There won’t be easy access like every other droid device out there in the wild. The Priv comes with a verified Boot and Secure Bootchain ensuring that its dedicated embedded keys distinctively verifies every layer of the smartphone; hardware and OS to ensure they have not been compromised. Literally, your data on the BlackBerry Priv is secure and locked down in a fortified defensive structure, a fortress! Even More Security BlackBerry Prvi also comes with FIPS 140-2 compliant full disk encryption and DTEK, raising its security to levels of previously unseen height. DTEK is an in-Built BlackBerry app that helps you see which personal data is accessed by apps, how secure it is based on password strength, encryption settings and more. BlackBerry has large following; fans who dumped the brand for droid devices might finally have a reason to switch camps. Clearly, BlackBerry’s first attempt with Android is a big deal. However, this doesn’t mean BlackBerry has pulled the plug on its BB10 OS, but it does sends a strong message to every smartphone manufacturer, especially Samsung who recently “stole” the Priv’s physical keyboard idea on its S6 Edge Plus, that it’s not going to be business as usual. It is certainly going to be a bumpy ride. http://www.techrez.com/this-is-how-blackberry-is-going-to-unleash-a-mobile-onslaught-on-samsung/ CC: lalasticlala

braskey:Sony spends all their money doing a great product, but don't want to spend extra telling people how great their products are. For me, that's pretty Lame. If the Xperia mobile division survives for another 2-years. I will put-off my hats for them. In May, Sony reported a $1.4 billion loss from its Xperia division. Sony is just sinking and its a shame. Earlier, they sold-off their PC and TV business. They are only standing on their profitable gaming division which almost went extinct with the PS3 which had initial poor sales ontop of a development fee of $3billion. |
koice:Each fiscal year, companies set sales forecast. That the plastic S5 manages to sell small amount doesn't means it met the Company's sale expectations. I am not talking based on assumption. Everything I say here is verified. The S5 was a disaster, quote me anywhere. I would not want to argue with you. Apple is currently the 2nd-biggest mobile vendor in China, right ahead of Samsung. I have given you data from IDC, you are telling me stories based on your assumptions. C'mon buddy, there is no point dragging this. The S5 was a colossal flop, and thank God it was, otherwise, Samsung would have given us the same sholve-ware in S6. But, they went to the drawing board and came up with something better. |
idokojerry:Exactly the point! |
koice:When Samsung Galaxy S5 came out in cheap plastic casing, that was the year Xiaomi displaced Samsung in China. Today, Samsung is 3rd in China.. behind Xiaomi and Apple. This is an article I wrote a year ago.. And cited by other big guns..http://www.techrez.com/samsung-scared-mobile-future/ "Samsung has announced its profits for the third-quarter would decrease by about 60% and sales equally falling by 20% in comparison to the same period last year" - TechRez, 2014 In the second quarter of 2013, Samsung accounted for 32% of global smartphone sales [IDC] and by the same time this year [2014], that figure fell by 25%.If you think we write based on assumptions or emotions, then you are from from the facts of the mobile industry. Best Regards. ![]() |
koice:You are free to keep living in your own world pal.. Industry experts and Samsung declared it a flop, not just a flop but an embarrassing flop. Please take a seat! |
So how is this breaking news? ![]() |

silentachieverr:You can tell is not really enough proof. Samsung doesn't update more than 10-devices when there is a big update. The S5 didn't make that list.. |
ollah1:It's not fair to compare newer products of Sony and Samung with the G4.. You should rather compare them with LG's latest flagship, the V10 ![]() |
silentachieverr:I am not sure you will get an update for the S5, the 10 Samsung devices to get the Marshmallow update didn't reveal the S5.. I could be wrong tho, |
ollah1:If you won't accept my review, you can read it from the big guys, watch the Camera mode on YouTube.. Compare, contrast and don't lie to yourself. I am sure that will Help.. Comparing the Xperia Manual mode, and Galaxy Camera manual options to the G4 is simply an affront buddy.. |
ollah1:I am sorry, S5 isn't getting the update buddy. ![]() Unless if Sammy changed their mind lately.. |
ollah1:My only problem with you is you keep "assuming" that "most people" are not interested in manual mode.. That's purely based on assumption.. If the manual camera mode was on the S6, everyone would have been interested in it right? Though, you have a point. Watch Samsung and Apple and copy LG's approach with S7 and iPhone 7. The point is this, yes the Edge, edges the G4 a little on auto mode, but generally the G4 makes fun of whatever Samsung has in showing.. For the first time, people could actually drop their digital camera at home when going on vacation.. |
ollah1:Funny man.. You have a big ego.. deal with it. Sop writing based on assumption... Who told you no one knows what's a manual mode or that people are comfortable with automatic mode? I never knew how to use a camera, the G4 made me a better photographer. I learned the manual mode, loved it and still love it. Right now I can never use any smartphone without full camera manual mode. Wait till I review the LG V10 next week, first smartphone with full manual video mode.. I know you will still have something to say.. ![]() |
