In recent months, Android has surpassed the iPhone and essentially all Apple has to offer. As the leader in the mobile operating world, Google (the makers of Android) has won over Samsung and a 10-year patent has been signed, but not too many people understand why this is such a big deal.
Samsung and Google are now essentially alliances within the mobile market, becoming a total powerhouse over Apple. In recent years, Apple has taken Samsung to court in regards to several patent violations, totaling billions of dollars against Samsung’s Galaxy tablets, smartphones, and other android powered devices.
Samsung: In A Relationship With Google
When Google gained $12.5 billion off their Motorola acquisition, they used it to get started on their android system – which has proved to be a good investment thus far. Therefore, with Samsung functioning on an Android platform, if they choose to develop their own system, they still have to function with Google – which is a great thing – we all remember when Apple tried their own Maps system and it was a complete fail.
This is basically a powerhouse, and while Google and Samsung have been working closely for the past few years, now they have to work together. The agreement came equally from Samsung and Google, with both companies looking forward to the patent merge.
