That got me thinking, why aren't Dell, HP, Lenovo etc selling "enterprise" Android phones? They could get probably pretty good margins on basic devices if they'd have good well-defined support periods. Bonus points for good MDM compatibility and various silly standard compliances that nobody cares about. Just being able to do purchases from same supplier as workstations seems like a major benefit for IT depts. They could probably do some bundle deals ("buy/lease workstation and get phone for free").
- blackoil 6y agoLong term support for client side machine isn't a requirement for enterprises. Most companies typically refresh laptops after 3-5 years.
- zokier 6y ago3-5 years is long-term for a phone.

- MikusR 6y agoSamsung has enterprise versions of some phones/tablets with 5 year security updates
