Why Samsung Can Take The Lead During US-China Trade Ban

Samsung is in a good spot to take the lead in the smartphone industry. Both of Samsung’s rival companies are not doing well as well in the market, so the South Korean tech giant could go for first place. However, Samsung has its own set of problems which may prevent the company from standing on the top.

Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Note 10. This new tablet has an improved camera, specs and even its own S Pen which could be used with the device’s apps. While this latest device isn’t groundbreaking as it doesn’t offer anything new other than upgrades, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is still a fresh release from the company.

Other than the Note 10, the company is reportedly also planning to release the Galaxy Fold this September. The September release is expected to be the best iteration of the foldable device despite Huawei’s Mate X reportedly set to be released on the same date. While the company had many issues with the device earlier this year, Samsung is said to have handled it all prior to the Fold’s official release.

With the Note 10’s release and Galaxy Fold’s upcoming arrival, the company has found a good spot in the U.S. market. Samsung’s Android phone rival, Huawei, has recently been banned by the U.S. government in light of its trade war with China. With Huawei barred from selling devices in the U.S., Samsung could take their previous consumers in the region.

While Apple is still a major player, the company’s recent update seem to signal that it is slowly steering away from releasing new devices. Apple has been focusing on unveiling new services which are scheduled for release in late 2019. Though Apple has also been releasing new iterations of their devices, the company has been quick and brief without making too many announcements regarding the devices.

With their rivals looking out of shape, Samsung could be the leading smartphone provider in the country this year if the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Fold do well in the coming months. However, some analysts don’t believe that the Note 10 would be significantly more successful than the Note 9, while the Galaxy Fold is still untested after its new fixes. We’ll have to wait and see if Samsung does win the top spot in the coming months.
