Everything changes for Android?
Android has a problem – and it is not easily corrected. There is a conflict at the center of the most popular operating system in the world, and that is getting worse. What is going on is in Samsung to decide. But that could change everything.
I have already warned. Google provides Android to other manufacturers, but it is also competing with these OEMs via its own pixel devices. And although Pixel has a small market share compared to these others, it is the first to new features and upgrades.
Safety and confidentiality were at the heart of Android 15 and it’s the same now with Android 16. And that makes it more critical for users than regular updates of functionality.
Samsung is the largest OEM, and yet he suffered the most during the deployment of Android 15, dragging the pixel by almost a complete upgrade cycle. Pixels moved to Android 16, just like many Samsungs had their first taste of Android 15. And although the deployment of Android 16 from Samsung should be faster, we are still waiting to see that this happens.
Now this warning has been resolved by Android authority. With “Five reasons why Google’s Pixel software is better than Samsung’s One Ui.” But one of these reasons is more important than all the others. “No matter what Samsung does to a user interface,” he says, “the only advantage that Google will always have is faster updates.”
Samsung vs pixel
In short, “as a creator of Android, it is easier for Google to optimize its range of pixels.” Although this is a particularly sharp moment to have this debate, given “the disorder that was one 7”, it goes beyond upgrades to the operating system. Transparent and effective security updates month after month and access to new innovative security features come both.
While “Samsung has corrected its defective update of the user interface 7″, ” Android authority said: “It’s just in time that everyone turns their attention to a user interface 8.” The reality is that Google has made Pixel unbeatable with regard to the pace and effectiveness of updates And Upgrades, and as IA becomes more and more intrinsic for Android, this will become more critical for users and will remove part of the differentiation of Samsung.
We see the same thing in the narrowing gap between Android and the iPhone, and once again with the suite of Google applications, available on the different operating systems, the mobile space race changes and its half-life reduced considerably.
Whole Samsung will determine what will happen next, the trigger can come from China rather than from Korea. Huawei is now pushing a third mobile operating system, providing real competition for the first time to iOS and Android. The pressure is on other Chinese OEMs to jump on board, rebalancing far from American technology. You can be sure that this is what is pushed in calm corridors in Beijing and Shenzhen as being in the national interest.
Although the unbeatable pixel upgrades are certainly bad news for Samsung, it may well still be news for Android.
