The Galaxy S II smartphone, by Samsung, is amongst the eagerly awaited phones of the year. South Korea was the first to see its distribution, on the 28th of April, 2011, and it would soon be arriving at more than 120 countries. Many regions of the planet already have the ability to access this device, but it has been well over 8 weeks since its initial release and it is unexpectedly still unavailable in the U.S.
The US has seen Samsung’s newest smartphone show up in a good many places around the world, including Canada and Mexico, where it seems, enticingly, just out of reach. Why must the US wait a great deal longer than other countries to receive this phone into their eager market? As the largest smartphone market in the world, you might imagine the U.S. should be high on the list of places that Samsung would want their latest product released.
The Korean daily news publication speculates that American carriers don’t seem to be very interested in the Samsung Galaxy S II because Motorola’s phones “work best with CDMA networks.” This might cause one to imagine that Samsung is having problems with Verizon Wireless and/or Sprint, which are two main CDMA competitors in America. However, it doesn’t appear that the two key US-based companies furnishing GSM cellular service (AT&T and T-Mobile) will be getting the phone soon, either.
One Exective at Samsung declared that dialogues with American cellular corporations have dragged out. It appears highly doubtful that US cell companies would drag negotiations out for months because Motorola has the best phones for CDMA networks. The Galaxy S II is undoubtedly an outstanding phone, which has among the best specs seen on a smartphone, period. Those that understand this industry can imagine another scenario that could result in such a seemingly unaccountable delay. Big players in the US telecom field may be pressing Samsung for their own proprietary variants of its new product, like Fascinate, Epic, Vibrant, and Captivate, the names of the last Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy S, which 4 specific providers ascribed to their own distinct models. The job of manufacturing a whole collection of different devices to satisfy the many carriers can most certainly be expected to take some time.
The smartphone field is one that has a tendency to change with amazing speed.. It’s advisable for Samsung’s new phone to get to the US soon, before next-gen devices which are certain to be launched later this year utterly take over the market. Perhaps it is ridiculous to expect Samsung to cater to all those demanding carriers who want extra-special treatment, but that is no reason they couldn’t release the device now to companies like AT&T and T-Mobile, whose customers would be happy to get the original version of the device?
This situation raises the question of the number of US consumers who are waiting around for the Samsung galaxy s2 release date, before they buy a new smartphone. Will they pick something else if this phone takes a long time to arrive? Might they pay to skip the wait, by buying the Galaxy S II from one of many other countries where it has already been released? We’re really interested in your view on this issue! No matter how spoiled US telecom companies may be, one hopes that Samsung will soon find a way to offer the American consumer a product that has been long, and eagerly awaited.
