Speaking of Samsung mobile , there are generally two reactions. One is Android phone king, and the other is BOOM. Let’s focus on the first one today.
The reason why Samsung can be called Android King is mainly because Samsung released two flagship phones every year, namely the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Note series we are familiar with. Especially the latter is full of configurations as a business flagship, and there are few Android flagship phones that can compete with one. However, after the release of the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra in 2020, Samsung did not release Galaxy Note devices in 2021, and officially announced the suspension of the Galaxy Note series update in March 2022, and replaced it with foldable screen phones.
After canceling the Galaxy Note series, the Galaxy S series has become Samsung's only regular flagship phone, but from the perspective of global sales, perhaps far from Samsung's expectations. In comparison, , , iPhone , a subsidiary of Apple , stands out in the high-end flagship market and continues to play the role of an absolute leader. So how can the Samsung Galaxy S23 series succeed in this situation?
Recently, Maria Slavov, editor of the well-known technology website PhoneArena, gave his own point of view. He believes that if the Samsung Galaxy S23 series wants to succeed, it must do seven things, Xiaomi , Huawei may be role models. Let’s take a look at what seven things are there.
1-Stop using curved screen
Samsung is the world's earliest brand to layout curved screen mobile phones, but in the past few years, Samsung has gradually turned to micro curved screen design.
From an aesthetic point of view, the curved screen design can indeed bring a better look. The front is almost a complete screen with no borders or black edges; but from a pragmatic perspective, the damage rate of the curved screen is much higher than that of the direct screen, and requires special protective film and mobile phone case protection.
In fact, as the flagship leader, Apple's iPhone has always insisted on using direct screen design, and the latest domestic Android flagship phones such as Xiaomi 13 series have also begun the transition concept of direct screen + curved screen. If the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is successful, it is key to stop using the curved screen.
2-Stop the processor confusion
As of today, Samsung is still one of the few mobile phone manufacturers in the world that insist on using dual flagship processors on flagship phones.
Specifically, the current Samsung Galaxy S series mainly uses its own Orion flagship processor and the Snapdragon 8-series processor under Qualcomm . Among them, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8-series processor is mainly used in the mainland Chinese market and the US market, while many mainstream markets including South Korea and Europe are equipped with Samsung's Orion processor.
However, in recent years, Orion has been restricted by Samsung's process problems, which has led to complaints from many European consumers, and even launched a call to boycott Samsung's Orion processor. Judging from the current situation, in mainland China, Europe and other regions outside the United States, if the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is successful, the entire series is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship processor is the key.
3-Equipped with better speakers
When all flagship phones are striving for the ultimate experience, the sound quality of Samsung flagship phones can only be said to be sufficient.
In fact, according to Maria Slavov's test, even the most entry-level products of Apple phones during the same period were loud and clear enough. Even the Asus ZenFone 9 had better stereo performance than most Galaxy S series models. In terms of sound quality performance, if the Samsung Galaxy S23 series wants to succeed, it really needs to be equipped with better and better speakers.
4 - Bring back micro SD card slot
Samsung Galaxy A53 5G phone, is Samsung's best-selling Galaxy series phone, but it is just a mid-range phone that supports micro SD cards up to 1TB.
Even Maria Slavov himself knew that Samsung could not adopt this design solution on the Galaxy S23 series, but the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is almost sky-high, but does not support micro SD cards. If you want to have this function, you must pay an additional price. Samsung Galaxy S23 series wants to succeed, perhaps adopting the competitors without micro SD cards, although the possibility is almost zero.
5-Bring innovative imaging system
must be admitted that the imaging systems of most Samsung Galaxy S series flagship phones are the best in the same period. I dare not say that they are the absolute king, but there is no problem in competing for the first place, but in terms of innovative imaging systems, the Samsung Galaxy S series is still inadequate to today.
The imaging technology worth learning in the industry at present includes the continuous zoom periscope lens in the Sony Xperia 1 IV, the variable aperture in the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, and the 1-inch sensor in the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. If the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is successful, it is crucial to have a new level of innovative images.
6-More personalized design
In the past few years, Samsung Galaxy S series has always been made of glass. Although many color schemes including burgundy and ghost purple secret realm do look good, Samsung may need some better designs, such as leather version design.
Of course, we are not saying that we must have a textured leather back like the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, which can also be a unique texture, material, pattern or anything else. If the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is successful, it really needs some more personalized design concepts.
7-Stop crazy pricing
Domestic consumers often complain about the pricing of Samsung Galaxy S series. They don’t have Apple’s life, but they have Apple’s disease. In fact, the price has always been the key to limiting Samsung’s flagship phone sales further, which is empathetic to this point among domestic and foreign netizens. If the Samsung Galaxy S23 series wants to succeed, it really needs to stop the crazy pricing.
was written at the end
As for the product, the Samsung Galaxy S series is still the most powerful Android phone competitor at the moment. In addition to the above seven points, faster charging speeds and more localized system optimization are also key factors affecting its user choices.
