During the Samsung Unpacked event we were able to meet a number of new uploaded devices: the Samsung Galaxy Flip Z, the first mobile phone with a glass wrap screen, as well as the new Galaxy S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra and Galaxy Buds +.
However, at this event something happened that we haven't seen in years, and that is that Google has come to the launch to remind the world of the information we all know, but it seems these days are more important than ever. Samsung is using Android.
We tested the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra: pre-video analysis
We've been able to test out for a few hours new Samsung phones, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 + and Galaxy S20 Ultra and tell you everything.
New Z Z Flip: this is the wrap of Ultra-compact Samsung
This is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, the second-generation mobile device in the Korean company that returns the concept of mobile-type mobiles.
New Buds Buds +: Samsung's wireless headphones have been exceeded
Samsung is officially introducing Galaxy Buds +, its new generation of wireless introducing a series of improvements.
Samsung's new products are amazing, and Google is on it
For many years Samsung has been a fierce opposition to the Android ecosystem, bringing creativity in every possible way, but its relationship with Google has been somewhat distant. Samsung probably never mentioned Android or Google in its official introduction, and for that reason, the time Hiroshi Lockheimer, Google SVP and one of the best managers in the Android helm appeared.
And what is the reason for Google appearing in such an important event as Samsung Unpacked? Remind the world that Samsung is using Android. And not any Android, though your Android.
That Android has been on Samsung since the first Galaxy S …
With video calls from the Google Duo and YouTube Premium as a gift…
With the latest access tools from Android, such as Live Capture …
And about Samsung's significant contributions when working together on new experiences such as 5G and wrap files …
.. And that's it. The climax of this presentation.
Google Political Auxiliary …
Google did not go to Samsung Unpacked to talk about the technology, because they have mentioned that Samsung offers video chat that is compatible with all Android, premium service subscriptions for both Android and the Android 10 feature.
Google's departure is primarily political. Over the past few months, Huawei has lost the right to use Google apps, and that has created a sense of uncertainty in the market. Huawei has already announced its option, and not only has it replaced, but they are partnering with Xiaomi and Oppo to create a ecosystem of developers who can compete against Google's services.
More than half of the phones on the market are Chinese companies, and if they all agree, it would be Google that could have major problems keeping Android alive. In these cases, Google needs Samsung, and not only is your most important partner, but keeping you up to date is important.
Samsung not only has the same infrastructure to build another operating system on Android, but that it has been for years and is using it on its watches and television.
China vs. Google: 5 major challenges for the future of Android
In the last hours a new alliance has emerged that could threaten Google's ouster by Android. These are key challenges.
… but also Samsung
The threat to China is not only for Google, but also for Samsung itself. Year after year, Huawei has been cutting margins against the South Korean giant, and Xiaomi's threat to step in and out of half-way has made Samsung turn with the coveted Galaxy M and A.
Samsung knows that maintaining their leadership for more than a decade is difficult, and that they can't do it alone. Google is interested in having Samsung happy, but at the moment Samsung is benefiting greatly from being linked with the name Android and Google, as well as Microsoft, Netflix, Spotify, companies that have also played a leading role in the launch.
