Samsung announced a rather lackluster quarter (compared to last year). What woes it? I am willing to hazard it is software. I was recently in the market for a cheap Android phone. Even though Samsung had an impressive lineup of hardware, none had Android 4.4 (KitKat) on it.
Low-end hardware requires Android KitKat due to improvements in how it supports low memory. The only phones that were touting Android 4.4 were from LG and Motorola. Motorola was still slightly costlier and Moto E hand’t arrived yet. Guess which I bought?
