Samsung Mobile: recruitment and acquisitions to stay ahead

Status as market leader Samsung smartphone has been confirmed in the first quarter of 2012 but the Korean group knows that maintaining its dominance is not easy and that the differentiation by the hardware is not enough if it is not accompanied strong developments of the interface.

The announcement of the Galaxy S III, its latest high-end smartphone, has also largely focused on this aspect by presenting close integration between hardware and software for the device adapts to the needs of the user, and not vice versa.

The company is in active recruitment of engineers abroad, including India, to empower them to innovate on this aspect, reports the Wall Street Journal, which is also changing very fast and requires be constantly on the lookout.

The group of Mountain View has always been reassuring statements on this point but it would be unwise for Samsung not to allow a way out in case of reversal of positions or in the event that Android would be in difficulty in the multiple trials.
