The War of the Giants
What will major high-tech corporations in the world be ready to do in the struggle for sympathy prize - a generous share of the world market? It is difficult to imagine where the fantasy of developers will lead the modern world of communications.
   South Korean industrial group Samsung ranked third part worldwide smartphone market. According to Strategy Analytics, in 3Q 2013 about 251 million smartphones were sold worldwide. Samsung owned 35% of these. The American company Apple, the main competitor of the South Korean giant, in the third quarter of 2013, sold 33.8 million iPhones. The market share of Apple smartphones sold dropped from 16% to 13%.
   LG, the South Korean chaebol??, fourth-largest financial-industrial group, also joined to the five leaders.  
   In October this year, Samsung announced the release of a smartphone with a bent display.
   Device called the Galaxy Round has a bent OLED-display diagonal of 5.7 inches.  As for the other characteristics: thickness - 7.9 mm, weight - 154 grams, the camera - 13 megapixels, the operating system - Android 4.3, RAM - 3 GB, as well as quad-core processor with a frequency of 2.3 GHz. The company immediately announced its merit and noted itself as an earliest explorer of this innovation.
   In turn, LG put on the market smartphone G Flex with bent display, 6-inch OLED-screen, quad 2.26GHz processor Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM, 13 megapixel camera and a battery capacity of 3,500 mAh. Despite the recent release of Samsung product, LG announces its device as "the first in the world" real" bent smartphone."
   The U.S. leader, Apple did not lay to shelves the news about the possible release of 'bent' smartphone. According to a recent statement of the CEO, Apple is going to release a new smartphone models every six months in 2014.
   What is the advantage of the new design to the classic form? And does it exist at all?
Alexander, 19, “The phone has very beautiful case and excellent characteristics. If it will have different colors, it can become a sales leader.”
Alexandra, 20, “But I like it! I like how it feels in your hand I’m all for such oddities.”
   The phone attracts the attention of potential buyers with an attractive design, but its convenience and necessity question as a whole.
Denis, 19, “Well, I do not like it. What about me, a phone is necessary to surf the Internet and play games, and with such screen it will be very uncomfortable. As for advantages, I think it will be easy to use such smartphone solely with one hand; the thumb freely reaches the opposite side of the display. But I do not get in button on a flat screen, and on this one I all the more press two… So, I would not buy it definitely.”
   The representatives of companies can hardly substantiate the positive aspects of the new case. They refer to different kinds of eases every possible way. For example, this smartphone perfectly sits in your hand, follows the contour of the face, which creates good audibility during talking, and reduces the glare when you are watching the video. What do you think about new advances in eases? Hardly you will run to exchange your plane smartphone for a newbie with such a weak promo action.
   It is assumed that the case carries no actual purpose, and industrial giants only elbow, so to bite off a larger piece of the pie, expand the niche in the global market.
Yana, 19 says she has “mixed feelings about the latest modification, the most alarming fact that the producers do not know themselves what this new case of smartphone is for.
- I do not like it just from an aesthetic view, even though the characteristics of it are worthy, and not the fact that it would be easy to use., she says.
   Or, they are pursuing a much more noble purpose. Perhaps not far off, when we will fold up the phone as a piece of paper, and man frees some space in his pocket for what? Wads of money? Keychain? I don't think so. The fact that a mobile phone will soon replace credit cards, tickets and what not is no doubt.
   So very soon you will protect your phone against any attempts of another penetration, because spy things from our favorite movies are already near. Here you have a retinal scan, here you can introduce pictures to another plane??, inexhaustible battery, voice assistant and the other gadgets – all in one. Is this not the Batman's arms?

  1. I really tired of stupid race for novelties. People pay money for the "air" and they become dependent on electronics. It is a pity that "the Giants" can not do high-quality equipment for the people, or rather they can do it, but it quickly goes out of fashion.
    You said "Batman's Arms" I agree with you. All of this makes our life more comfortable. But who would have been Batman without his special arms? Thank you for your thoughts. :)
