what
samsung is doing is very stratgic and methodical,
KANO MODEL look it up, They are out pacing their own devices in market either by stopping the supply or by putting a up comparable new model with higher specs with same price, You can say its a BLITZ-KRIEG
It seems like they want to move and create a market segment for higher echelon as well as as middle echelon, they want to leave behind
Nokia for lower market segment..
It also Helps samsung to revenue them up in Indian market( they are below average profit making; if compared to world market to India market) since user will be changing the mobiles/
smartphones Faster, It also means they are going for a UNIFICATION of everything eventually so that they can have monopoly and best in class as well..
also they want to predict the price in market, No want to take out grey market and DICTATE PRICE( have a look around: before 5 years the price diff was huge between grey and regular market now its like 2000 or less )
