I don't think that's a very reasonable thing to say. Samsung-LSI (which is the "Samsung" in question here) consistently makes better BSPs than, say, TI or nvidia (with their big WinCE-like layer inside the kernel).
Samsung Mobile has a reputation for making poor quality Android UIs (though they also have a few other OS projects going on; the EFL one and something else).
Also, Samsung-LSI generally makes better SoCs than the other guys (normally the bus works properly, etc). If you wanted to pick on them in a constructive way then you could say "I hope they clean up their mess in arch/arm..."
- johansch 14y agoI am not saying there are not people within the giant Samsung company capable of this. I am sure there are. I am saying they will be working against a strong "Samsung is good at hardware, but not at software" reputation.

- __alexs 14y agoSamsung-LSI is part of Samsung's semiconductor division, it has little to do with the their consumer electronics section.
