Market Leader Samsung

Couple of years back, the word "Samsung" always reminded me of the beautiful Home Appliances (read TVs, Air Conditioners and Fridges). But, it has also become one of the market leaders in Mobiles, Accessories and also Laptops. This leadership in other avenues have always come along with their prime home appliances growth as well.

About three months back, I wanted to upgrade my 5 years old desktop. And I was in a shock to find most of the accessories had the option of Samsung in it (except the mother-board and processor, of course). When I tried to find the best option for internal hard disk, Samsung has created a good presence there.

After the Samsung Galaxy series came into existence, it has grown to market leadership in India. The recent S4 as per the release has many good features and is comparable to iPhone. Nokia, once a leader in India, has completely lost the battle against Samsung in recent times. 

One of the main reasons on why Samsung is preferred over other brands is because of its customer service. I bought a Micromax phone once about three years back. I used it for 6 months and its battery didn't charge after about 8 months. I struggled to find the service center for Micromax and lost faith in its brand.

Samsung is present in more places that it was seen couple of years back for sure. See the attached screenshot of Flipkart.com for the keyword "Samsung"



On a final note, I am happy to share that, I recently bought the Samsung flagship phone - Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos. I will experience it for say couple of months before pitching in to writing an review for it. Its great at the first looks.

Let me know about your experience with Samsung brands. How was it? Was it great or pathetic. Happy to hear.

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t...

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors. It has loads of features and highlight of them all is the connection through the Internet through WLAN. You can get a Internet connection from the service provider and ask for the wi-fi router. With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN. As you may expect, this password will be asked only when you connect to Internet through this WLAN for the very first time.

In Nokia E51, You have the option of Browse WLAN right at the home page for you. If you have customized for something different, u...
