Every now and then, more and more posts come out in the
internet stating that Samsung is making a bad choice in their strategy of
making different variants of the S4. Claiming that this will only cause
confusion to customers. Within two months we've seen the debut of five Samsung
Galaxy S4 phones: the Samsung
Galaxy S4, the Galaxy
S4 Active, the Galaxy
S4 Google Edition, the Galaxy S4 Mini, and
the Galaxy
S4 Zoom and the 6.3-inch Galaxy
S4 Mega.
In fact this not an issue, Samsung’s business model is to
provide all segment of the market as much as possible with the option to get
Galaxy S4 brand that suits to one’s taste. This works for them, and they want
it that way and who are we to argue? Samsung wants its customers to get what
they need and satisfied. They are in a position to provide an S4 line of
products with different features that will appeal to as many people with different
preferences. Different companies are trying to do the same but hasn't
quit gotten there yet. And for that, Samsung should be given praise for
offering what’s best for the end users.
Many articles single out Samsung for making different
versions of its S4, but in fact other companies do it. As an example somebody
even mentioned in the other posts when they brought up Mercedes line of cars
and their version numbers, or BMW, or Toyota. How many versions of the Prius
are out there? You have different options for all makes and models or cars to
fit the desires of different people. Yet, no one ever complains that a car
brand gets diluted. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s called
having and choosing options for your specific needs.
The fact is when you give people more
choices, they're more likely to find something that suits them. It is
absolutely common sense; there's nothing "confusing" about it.
Isn’t it perfect that Dad can have the Flagship S4, Mom can
have the S4 Mini , your son can have the S4 active, your daughter the Galaxy
Zoom and the S4 Mega for the grand parents might as well!
In this case, the “One Size – Fits all” mentality doesn’t
apply.
