We analyze Samsung’s AI subscription service offering, which makes sense although it will undoubtedly depend on price and options.
When the monster Samsung The latest great idea from its mobile experience department was presented to us a few hours ago, the truth is that many of us frowned a bit while waiting for more news and details. Not in vain, it may seem like a good move to offer us a subscription service for mobile phones, tablets and others. gadget Samsung Galaxy, though reasonable to suspect, has tried several times without success.
And we live in an age of subscriptions with services premium All the colors that They allow us to access or enjoy them through a monthly payment. However, it’s a toll we don’t seem too willing to pay, at least not for consumption A device that is not our property directly
In the era of subscriptions, the truth is that it makes sense to think of a fixed monthly payment that allows us to enjoy the latest Samsung model every year.
So, what Samsung is asking us now is not new, although it is noticeable in the absence of details of the service Operators like Vodafone have already tried this In the past, things like Google and its Pixel Pass, without much success to tell us, have turned off before customers could even renew their devices. Not even Apple was able to To make a subscription like this works, from that service A brand new iPhone is approved every year It was quickly canceled.
At least we know that Samsung has experience in this fieldThat’s because the Suwon giant in South Korea already offers subscriptions to appliances and smart home devices that work, with air conditioners, refrigerators or washing machines that renew from time to time in exchange for pre-determined monthly payments. This service It already accounts for 30% of sales of this type of product in KoreaSo everything indicates that Samsung will bring mobile phones, tablets and subscriptions gadget smart Market your home firstAlmost like a probe balloon, but with the penetration of other types of products.
AI subscription makes sense, but will it work outside of South Korea?
Thinking coldly, For me it makes sense to think about a subscription like thisAnd in my case I will definitely change my smartphone very soon. Because of my work, I have many test phones that I use for a few weeks before returning them, albeit on a personal level I’ve bounced from one Galaxy Note to the next over the years Now the Galaxy S Ultra does it every time a new generation is introduced.
My personal cell phones don’t disappear like tears in the rain, and since they’re always well taken care of, I usually sell them to my loved ones before I’m able to get rid of them on second-hand sales platforms.
What if I subscribe to a smartphone and have a new one every year with no extra story or work, thus eliminating the need to buy and sell? Well in my case I see a lot of senseObviously here though The price will be one that sets a little reference and interest in the proposal. For many users, such subscriptions should go a long way, though perhaps cost has been an insurmountable barrier to date.
I would definitely like to eliminate the tedious tasks of buying and selling a new smartphone every year, although everything will always depend on the price and the options that Samsung or other manufacturers allow me.
We have to think How much are we willing to spend? To use a smartphone, tablet, PC or robot that is not ours, and it We must refund or exchange at a period exchange rate Maintain or increase monthly payments. This is key, because with cars I fear the same thing will happen somewhat, that is We are willing to pay a monthly payment But as long as product ownership we have to decide.
We’ll see how Samsung eventually cooks up the AI ​​subscription, since it’s a service For a specific area like South KoreaAlthough for global conquest I guess the option to increase the subscription might be necessary, To be able to keep the device after completion Or even sign in to different time periods and/or ranges of terminals, always allowing the user to have options… Success or failure lies here!
