Microsoft adventurous challenge Apple and Google

About international technology assessment, the $ 7.2 billion Microsoft buy out businesses of Nokia mobile devices is a gamble but needed to compete with larger rivals Apple and Google. 

According to the technology website CNET , Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer described the deal to buy Nokia as "a brave step into the future."Meanwhile, the tech said Microsoft's real message is: "We can do anything that Apple and Google are doing." Buy Nokia, Microsoft truly entered the hardware segment of the mobile market.

About technology assessment with the purchase of Nokia, Microsoft learning strategy that Apple had made perfectly. When launched breakthrough products like the iPhone and iPad, Apple is building an "ecosystem". Accordingly, the company's products from iPhone, iPad, iPod and MacBook computers to connect and share information with each other in a simple and convenient. This strategy has created the "halo effect", which means that customers who have purchased an Apple product, they must purchase other products.

Many economists forecast in the coming years, mobile device sales will decline due to global market saturation. Therefore, the technology company will have to rely on income from the sale of movies, music, applications ... through the "ecosystem" of their company.

AFP quoted an analyst Ross MacMillan of Jefferies consulting firm said, according to previous agreement, Microsoft receives only $ 10 per handset running Windows Phone that Nokia sold. But with the acquisition of Nokia, Microsoft will increase this profit to 40 USD / pcs in the short term. Microsoft also announced that it would invest this money into marketing activities and innovation in order to increase the market share of Windows Phone is still very modest.

Although this evaluation is a necessary step of Microsoft, but analysts still believe that this gamble is extremely risky. The analyst Trip Chowdry of Global Equities Research firm that "winners" in the smartphone market has been identified. "95% of the market belongs to Google and Apple.There is no third party to compete. If Microsoft bought Nokia from a few years ago, then things will be different. But now the market has been framed. " Some other experts predict Microsoft will "forever be a third party".

Microsoft and Nokia: 'Marriage' campaign has changed?

If you do not create these mobile devices are affected, Microsoft would risk a shell stuck in his own. Microsoft has decided to spend more than $ 7 billion to "put on the palace Nokia" with the goal of improving the future for its mobile segment. However, many people skeptical about the possibility of "running change" that this acquisition brings two "giants" are lagging behind in the mobile market full of fierce competition.


Nokia CEO Stephen Elop (left) CEO Steve Ballmer and Nokia.

According toWall Street Journal

Microsoft is raising hopes that the owners of Nokia mobile segment will help both parties resolve their problems can not be solved well by the relationship partners. It was won dominance in the smartphone market (smartphones) from the hands of rivals Apple and Google.

After nearly 3 years of collaboration with Nokia, Microsoft is number 3 position in the global smartphone market, but its mobile software market share is only about 4%, compared with 90% of the total market share in the hands of Apple and Google software. The Nokia smartphones only account for a negligible share for the year from nearly half the market before Apple's iPhone appeared.

For Microsoft, to create a breakthrough, it is the need to create compelling mobile devices both consumers and business customers, in addition to finding themselves a place in the array hardware manufacturer, and won the support of the shareholders and the developer which is held skepticism. Another task is equally important to smooth merger of Nokia employees in 32,000 military personnel is 100,000.

The Microsoft stock investors did not seem very confident in the future of "marriage" Microsoft-Nokia. During the session last Tuesday, Microsoft shares fell 4.6%, increase performance wipe comes after chief executive (CEO) Steve Ballmer claims about to retire.

Also on Tuesday, Mr. Ballmer said that Google and Apple will not keep forever on the upper mobile market. In addition, Microsoft has a very strong financial strength. Its annual revenue of more than $ 70 billion, and the acquisition Nokia will not cause "harmlessly" What on cash reserves 77 billion.

Talking to analysts via phone, Mr. Ballmer said that Microsoft needs to become a hardware manufacturer instead of just providing software for computers, phones and other devices. "To really achieve the vision of what can be done for customers, we have to adjust my way of thinking," Ballmer said.

However, to turn himself completely into a hardware manufacturer, Microsoft will have to become a very different company today. And analysts believe Microsoft does not seem to do this.

"I always see where Microsoft mobile technology will die. I'm not sure whether the Nokia acquisition will enable it to produce phones is better than in the second period firm alliance, "analyst Michael Morgan of ABI Research says the company.

If you do not create these mobile devices are affected, Microsoft would risk a shell stuck in his own. CEO Ballmer called Nokia acquisition is a move "aggressively" to put in Microsoft speed mobile segment, but there are many dangers waiting for "giants" in the software plans.

So far, the application developer still fascinated with general information about an upcoming Nokia with Microsoft. Meanwhile, the application development plays a vital role in supporting Microsoft closed the gap with rivals in the phone application running on Windows. "We can not put into force to support the platform. It's too small, "said Patrick Geuder, director of business development of video game maker minecraft, said.

Microsoft almost no experience in equipment manufacturing segment than Xbox games console. The first trials with the Surface table computer has failed with the meager sales in the first year. Last quarter, the company downgraded the value of inventory shipments Surface a $ 900 million account.

Nokia acquisition also means that from now on, the makers other mobile devices will increasingly concerned about the use of Windows over.Nokia remains a major producer of smartphones running Windows, while other firms such as Samsung and HTC are the focus for the Android operating system.

After acquiring Nokia, Microsoft to create a market segment in the middle segment and cheap products segment gourmet products. Until now, Windows Phone is not cheap enough to appeal to ordinary consumers choosing Android phones, and also not good enough to entice consumers loyal to the high-end devices from Apple and Samsung .

Also, Microsoft should avoid old-new conflict occurs when employees receive a new series from Nokia. Nokia's acquisition of the second largest acquisition ever, its, following the acquisition of Skype for $ 8.6 billion in 2011. Besides, many shareholders expressed dissatisfaction when Microsoft bought Nokia, as the company said it would cut spending on inefficient array operations.

Vietnamese community debate Galaxy Note 3 and Xperia Z1

"The eight ounces, half the weight," 3 and the Galaxy Note has launched Xperia Z1 has generated controversy among fans.


10am, Nguyen Quang, business personnel in the new District 3 companies work. Last night, after waiting to see Note 3 to the performances than 1 am, wandering Quang social network monitoring information, debate about new products. A "key war" broke out between the group's violent Optics with Sony fan as both argued Note Xperia Z1 is 3 or more top products.

Ke eight ounces, half the weight.

Samsung smartphones favorite for several years, Quang was called Samfan many friends. "I'm not crazy, but like applications, the design of the current Note," Quang said. Note Use of the first after Samsung unveiled the widescreen product, followed by the Note II, so information about Optics Note 3 which is eagerly awaited. "The changes in design on great new products. Machine thin, beautiful, stylish faux leather material with a series of new features," Optical eagerly.

Optical reasoning was immediately countered colleagues. Unlike Quang Duc Hung last night just watching all of the performances at IFA Sony is going to sleep. Note 3 Information is updated Hung morning. "Samsung has been too slow for the material, so if Note 3 changes with metallic trim, the rear surface of the skin, their fans did too," Hung said.

As a fan since the Sony Walkman Phone prevailed, Hung Xperia charm designs recently. "Z1 Honami is a crystalline product designs Ultra Xperia Z and Z, this will be the last product I buy," Hung'm flattering. Quang Hung and Debate longer straw to lunch at a cafe next to the company.Many colleagues also appeared, all of them are divided into two camps Sony and Samsung.

Night 4/9, Sony and Samsung has introduced two new smartphones Xperia Z1 (Honami) and Galaxy Note 3. In just one night, Samsung and Sony fans along the voyeuristic with a performance upgrade for the new product. If Sony Z1 5-inch screen with a design inherited its predecessor, the Note 3 still unmistakable design than the Samsung, but owning slim screen border, the skin behind and USB 3.0 .

Sony fans have witnessed happiness soon as Xperia Z1, especially improvements in the camera lens, sensor. Meanwhile, users love the wide screen designed to line Note glad to help change the product look more fashionable. The screen border war erupted on social networking from last night.

"Note 3 no doors, nothing outstanding, identically designed chicks before. Shell skin is still impossible with aluminum casing for heat dissipation is not in the first. Secondly, look not to much, not after spending some time off and just frayed leather ... " Kyo said nickname.Immediately, the nickname hoakun countered: "5.7 inch screen than Z1 Note 3 to 5 inches, the skin may peel crust but instead is, as Z1 aluminum shell peeling or dented miss the change to stars ".

Meanwhile, comparison of configuration, the Samsung fans can be proud with 2.3 GHz quad-core 1.9 GHz or eight depending on the version.Meanwhile, Z1 only use 2.2 GHz quad-core chip. 2GB of RAM is Z1, while up to 3GB Note 3. Regarding power, almost overwhelming Note 3 competitors from Japan.

To "excuses" for the poor than on the configuration, many Sony fans that configuration is less important than user experience. Both are too strong so will not easily recognize the difference in speed during use."Configuring both strong, but too strong, the more battery power alone, do not focus too much to configure that interested in the possibilities that it brings," Ho Khanh Trung, a fan of Sony said.

Xperia Z1 is resistant to water.

In contrast, the ability to take pictures of the Xperia Z1 was marginally better assessment than Galaxy Note 3 . Note 3 cameras use 13 "dot" with LED lights and anti-shake technology, imaging capabilities equivalent Galaxy S4. Meanwhile, the Xperia Z1 make a difference with RS Exmor CMOS sensor up to 20.7 megapixel, large sensor size 1/2, 3 "image processor chip with separate Bionz for mobile devices similar in Sony's cameras. specifications promises to help smartphone from Sony that can capture not lost camera point-and-shoot.

To "antlers removed" except for this point, the fans 3 Note that similar imaging capabilities Galaxy S4 was very good. "Note 3 devices is focused on office needs, the essence lies in the S-Pen stylus. Decided not touch camera image quality, but also depends on the quality of the sensor. Was I satisfied with the quality of shots from the Galaxy S4, if Note 3 S4 photography is also beautiful enough already, "Dang Minh Quan, a" big fan "of Samsung, said.

However, some of the neutral fans that compare with Note 3 Z1 is a lame comparison. "Z1 is large smartphone, Note 3 is phablet with S-Pen stylus. Objects users of two different products. Z1 suit the masses and can rival the Galaxy S4, whereas Note 3 more with the business of being optimized for the job. Z1 can say is leading in the number of smartphones, is also Note 3 phablet king of the market, "said Pham Zentora nickname.

Note 3 to the wide-screen design.


Comment on noisy debate on last night, his worst, a mobile shop owner in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City that will be difficult to impose love, like this one for, the other . As a Sony fan, he said that Japan has changed Z1, worth to users, but also Note 3 model will continue to bring success for Samsung. "I do not think a lot of people use products prior to being processed as line Note the new model change towards better, better. Currently in my shop, Galaxy phone by Samsung in general still selling than Sony, "he said.
