I think this is an overreaction. I have a Samsung, and will buy another if it's the best value for what I need next time I'm phone shopping.
Consumers have short memories and there aren't that many legitimate alternatives to Apple.
- jonlucc 10y agoI think you overestimate the ability of consumers to discriminate between phones. Samsung intentionally named their phones "Samsung Galaxy S7" and "Samsung Note 7". Lots of people don't know that only one of the two is exploding (anecdotally, my wife and her parents).
- toxican 10y agoPersonally I'm hoping the next iteration of the Note sees a nice price drop to convince consumers to buy back in. I'd jump in at that point.
- Nursie 10y agoIf it boots them out of the prestige-pricing range into the "it's got every feature of the rest for a hundred bucks less, you'd be crazy not to" range that Google used to inhabit with Nexus, that could be a good thing...
