This Week Samsung has been up to date for a couple of news related to the software from your devices. The first of them was something certainly alarming, and it is that a vulnerability had been discovered in the system with the terminals that had the interface activated TouchWiz, which could lead to many of them being reset. The second was speculation that Samsung was working on its own navigator. Yesterday a senior manager of the company confirmed the intention of the Korean brand to release your own code.
Samsung, which is perhaps the most important manufacturer of devices with the Android operating system, has stated through one of its directors, Kang tae-jin, which will strengthen the software department of the company with the aim of giving a boost to the sale of its gadgets. However, yes, the intention is to outsource the software production service to other developers since, above all, Samsung is one of the most powerful hardware manufacturers (Let's remember that not only does it manufacture its own products, it also sells some of the most important parts with which Apple assembles the iPhone or iPad, such as the retina screen or the A6 chip).
Since many companies that originally were dedicated to software, today order and launch their own hardware (such is the case of Google with Nexus and Microsoft with Surface), Samsung intends to travel the reverse path, manufacture the devices but have control over the code that runs on them, at least over the most important or the one that can stand out the most within their phones, tablets, and other company gadgets. Tae-jin acknowledged in this regard that they are interested "buy before you build".
The system TouchWiz it is one of the clearest examples of this policy that Samsung intends to implement. This type of interface search differentiate brand devices compared to other Android terminals and is a clear bet to compete with Apple in terms of user experience. Another example is the browser that the Korean brand could be developing, as reported by other Android Help media, to install on its tablets and phones. The issue seems clear, the more areas large companies can cover, the more control they have over their business and the more flexibility when it comes to attracting users.
