Samsung got screwed over by Google to the point of having to ship a phone with a defective gps. It makes a lot of sense for them not to put all eggs in one basket.
- seles 15y agoCould you elaborate on this please, how did google force samsung to release a phone with gps?
- blub 15y agoThey denied Samsung access to Skyhook, which was deeply integrated into a specific phone model. Samsung then pleaded to at least ship with Skyhook and remove it afterwards but Google denied them again with the threat of removing Android compatibility for that phone. This info was revealed in the Skyhook trial.
