In the last weeks, media of communication both specialized as generalists from of all the world, is have made eco of them problems given by an of them latest jewelry of the Crown of Samsung. However, as we have stated on other occasions, in consumer electronics nothing is eternal and is naive to think that we can find tablets and perfect smartphones which in the short or long term, not end up failing. While the South Korean firm rivals are rubbing their hands by the setback that is currently affecting the firm, indeed is not the only one who has had to cope with the withdrawal of faulty models.
Although we are now witnessing the creation of more stable models in every sense, is still much work to do to improve them both from the technical point of view and features, as in other aspects that primarily affect users such as obsolescence. Today, we will do a brief review on some devices or components thereof that have finished being withdrawn from the market or major errors that have made it necessary to cease marketing or a very discreet welcome.
Sony Ericcson: First smartphones and first failure
Started with two models manufactured by this pair of companies that came something behind to those formats touch. In 2009, Sony Ericcson released two models called Satio and Aino, who wanted to become leaders in the new media, and whose production and sales were arrested soon after. In the case of the first model, using different apps caused a block full of the terminal to which are added another failure: if wanted to restart it to correct it and that the smartphone back to work, had to remove the battery. Aino was characterized for being a model unstable whose touch screen offered very slow response times or did not work.
Nexus 9
Google has led its time position itself as an attractive manufacturer in the sector of tablets and still has a way to go to position itself as an authentic reference point. An example, we have it in Nexus 9. The model, which rested with HTC, obtained figures of fairly minor sales as expected by its creators, who forced the Mountain View to accelerating work on other devices that would light during the I/O of the search engine by 2015. Among the possible causes of this hosting rather cold, found a processor set and some strategies more aggressive from others signatures as Huawei.
Apple not is the panacea
Samsung was not the first nor will it be the last technology which is forced to withdraw its terminals on the market. In 2014, the Cupertino had a barrage of criticism since one of its smartphones star, iPhone 6, doubled. Both unconditional fans of the company, as related blogs to it, came out to deny this fact and defend tooth and nail their manufacturers. It certain is that from the signature is gave a response warm in which simply is said that is would analyze case after case and that only is would proceed to the replacement of the terminal provided this fulfilled with the warranty.
More recently, in the winter of this year, also witnessed the withdrawal of updates to iOS 9.3 for “older” models and in some cases, prevented from using both tablets and phones.
Blackberry road
The Canadian firm has been protagonist of a multitude of news especially in 2016. During these months, we witnessed the announcement of new devices such as the DTEK60, which was intended to be the bet of Blackberry in the format phablet, and also, the cancellation of other projects as a result of a huge competition among the different actors of the sector and a late addition to the new formats. A few months ago, the firm decided to the permanent cessation of the building of terminals to focus more on the Android ecosystem and also, the end of commercialization of their models star classics that came with the famous keyboard and that served to make it to the top in 2010.
Lenovo it costs start in United States
Finally, we ended up with the current owner of Motorola and that this year, it has launched several convertible tablets that have been protagonists in the major technology events in 2016 as the IFA. At the end of 2014, the company founded in Beijing, he stopped the marketing of all its models of less than 10 inches in the United States. Among the possible factors, we found an important presence of the national brands in the domestic market of that country, the preferences of consumers of the American country for larger formats, and finally, the modest results of the adoption of the latest versions of Windows and which were part of all models that were sold.
Do you think that commonplace is to find faults in tablets and smartphones that we use on a daily basis that require manufacturers to take steps? Do you think that incidences rates are higher, but the companies to silence many? You have available more information as for example, the decision of Microsoft to create new mobile so that you may know more.
