Samsung Considers Dropping Iconic 'Galaxy' Brand for Flagship Phones

Doesnt matter how good the hardware is- nobody on iOS wants to downgrade to android.

The 3rd party apps are worse, no security, no updates, no texting, tons of carrier and OEM bloat, the list goes on. It’s trash.

If they really wanted to take a bite out of iPhone marketshare they’d ditch android and design an OS from scratch that matches the hardware. Like what apple did in 2007

It's not 2010 anymore...

Interesting. Maybe no changes immediately. But if it were to happen, it might be around the time the next foldable from Samsung is launched.

Samsung Galaxy for their budget-friendly devices.

Samsung Universe for their higher end/premium devices.

I had the same thought, what happens when the 'Universe" branding is water down, maybe 'Multiverse' branding is next.

I never understood the Galaxy branding, it didn't highlight the differentiation they originally hoped to make with the brand.

Your opinion does not reflect reality...

Not only has Genesis made it, the brand has thrived to become a dark horse in the U.S. luxury market with unique styling, unexpected comfort and well-ranked quality. It’s done so with both gas-powered and electric vehicles.


They have also won many awards over the years such as MotorTrend Car of the Year; MotorTrend SUV of the Year; Car and Driver 10Best; and North American Car of the Year

I don't know where Genesis stands, whether it is tier 1 or tier 2/3 luxury. Toyota has Lexus, Honda has Acura, VW has Audi and other brands, what make Genesis differentiate from them, from a technical or forward thinking standpoint. For all the luxury carmakers, I am expecting the software experience lacking, in line with all the other window dressing that they provide in the name of 'luxury'.
