Google’s motive behind launching these smartphones is not necessarily to gain share in the smartphone market but to grow its Android ecosystem. Google wants to resolve any issues that crop up when different smartphone manufacturers adopt the Android operating system without seamlessly integrating hardware features with the software. This is where Apple has the advantage, as it designs its own hardware and develops its own operating system.

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua sounds amazing. Its rounded edges look sleek. It’s waterproof. It has a 13-megapixel camera with Superior Auto, which, according to the company, means the phone “recognizes 52 different scenarios and automatically configures the optimal settings—so you don’t have to.” Finally, an end to the era in which humans, like common animals, had to do all their own scenario recognition. According to Bloomberg
Together, Apple and Samsung account for more than one in three smartphones sold, data compiled by Bloomberg show. More important, Apple vacuums up more than 90 percent of the profits in the business, and Samsung takes most of what’s left. That leaves crumbs for the half-dozen other big smartphone manufacturers, plus a sea of upstarts.
Samsung has mimicked Apple in many ways but with less success. It too makes its own chips and software, and often boasts unique features, counting curved screens and faster charging. Samsung, which sells midrange and cheaper phones as well, ships about 72 million per quarter contrast to Apple’s 48 million, according to Gartner. But that number tilts toward lower-end, low-margin models, and Samsung’s profits have fallen for seven quarters as lackluster sales of its high-end Galaxy S6 hold the company back. “Samsung is not really making money in smartphones,” says Endpoint’s Kay. “The good news for them is that they’re big enough and diverse enough to make some mistakes and still be able to play.” Bloomberg Report
