Android phone manufacturers are in a humble condition gradually with the brand
enhancing of Apple. Preferring of Android system makes manufacturers have no
discourse power in the upstream of industry chain. Their brands are repressed because
of the double shortage of core control in hardware and software.
With the double rising of Iphone and iOS, Android phones brand continually becomes
low end. Compared with iOS closed system, Android open system is poor in software
access, operation, process management and system experience. No matter Samsung
or a small brand in a local market, all the Android phone manufacturers are in Android
system. For Google, it has no plan to promote Android brands, because Android
operation system does not bring profit in hardware and its profit mode is to make users
search with Google. It needs the manufacturers scale which can form users scale and
the mutual balance and competition between manufacturers in the Android system to
keep its discourse power. If Android mobile phone manufacturers can not breakthrough
in system, they must adopt fierce price war. Oppositely, the unique iPhone becomes
more and more popular.
Android has built a homogenization and open competitive market. In the developing
period, manufacturers can develop quickly with Android system. When it is in mature
and saturated period,the whole alliance can not avoid the fierce competition of
homogenization. At present, the whole OEM industry has been in serious polarization.
Brand concentration is higher and higher, and the space for small brands and copycats
is smaller and smaller, which leads to the OEM factories in a harder position. As a result, there will be more and more OEM factories and parts suppliers facing with stop production
or break up.
When the phone industry comes into mature period, Android phone manufacturers
should strengthen their innovation, build brand influence and eco-system. Research on mobile phone with android system is less competitive and little
profit. The manufacturers will soon be out of the market who depend on price and
hardware only. Some of the manufacturers use the customized system based on
Android system, such as OMS, Ali cloud OS, MIUI and so on, but it is not enough.
It is said that Huawei is developing their own independent operation system Kirin OS,
which is a good start for Android phone manufacturers.
