Join myself and Joel S. Weitzman us for an exciting discussion on new approaches to device design and device portfolios in the era of consumer tech maturity. With each new generation of mobile phones, PCs, and connectivity devices, the excitement seems to be waning. But by focusing on demand-centric growth and truly getting to know our customers' needs, we can design device portfolios that are simpler, more distinct, and once again bring back that sense of excitement. Let's work together to create the future of technology that truly serves the needs of our customers. #DeviceDesign #CustomerNeeds #DemandGrowth #BCGatMWC Explore our Demand Centric Growth capabilities: https://lnkd.in/gyhiv28E

The chart below reminds me of an eye-opening experience in 2008 at a workshop in the R&D centre of an emerging Korean mobile phone OEM, which revealed the depth of analysis of the competition’s offerings. Dissecting phones from leading brands down to every conceivable part, this rigorous evaluation of what worked and what didn’t in existing products underscores the complex decisions OEMs face when developing their market entry strategies. Should they push the envelope with groundbreaking technology to carve out a niche, or follow in the footsteps of established players, perhaps with more affordable versions of popular devices? Alternatively, is the optimal strategy one that finds a middle ground—innovating where it counts but also capitalizing on proven successes? This balanced approach might not only mitigate risks but also offer a unique value proposition to consumers, blending reliability with novelty. In an industry as dynamic and fiercely competitive as mobile technology, how can OEMs best navigate these strategic crossroads to not just enter the market but to truly distinguish themselves and thrive?

The adoption of premium devices is growing globally in both the consumer and enterprise segments. Indeed, 72% of enterprise devices are high/mid-tier devices

On This Day: Celebrating the Anniversary of the First-Ever Mobile Phone Call Today, we commemorate a landmark moment in telecommunications history - the anniversary of the first-ever mobile phone call. On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper, a visionary engineer at Motorola, made the inaugural call from a handheld mobile device on the streets of New York City. This groundbreaking event marked the dawn of a new era in communication, demonstrating the potential for wireless, portable communication. Cooper's call wasn't just a technical experiment; it was a bold statement about the future of connectivity. By making the first call to a rival telecommunications company, he underscored a vision of a world where people could connect without the constraints of wires and fixed locations. This historic call from a prototype DynaTAC phone, which would later evolve into the cellular phones we rely on today, laid the foundation for the mobile communications revolution. From bulky bricks to sleek smartphones, the journey of mobile technology has been nothing short of remarkable. It's a journey that has enabled businesses to thrive through enhanced connectivity, agility, and the ability to stay connected with clients and colleagues from anywhere in the world. As we look back, we're filled with gratitude for the pioneers who made it possible, and we're excited about the future possibilities as we continue to evolve and innovate in this space. Here's to the past, present, and future of mobile communication! #TelecomsInnovation #MobilePhoneCall #TechnologyMilestone #DigitalTransformation #ConnectivityEvolution #UKTelecoms

Can you believe that Wi-Fi 7 is officially on the horizon? In just a few weeks (by the end of Q1), Wi-Fi 7, also known as 802.11be, will step out of the shadows and become the next big thing in wireless connectivity. Why should you care? Wi-Fi 7 will bring a load of benefits, especially when it comes to business productivity. It’ll offer speeds up to a jaw-dropping 40 Gbit/s. That's nearly five times faster than the already impressive Wi-Fi 6… lightning fast. Even though Wi-Fi 7 will be the latest thing, you won’t necessarily have to buy new equipment. Routers with support for 802.11be will need a firmware update to upgrade their speed. Of course, having a Wi-Fi 7 router is fantastic, but your devices must be compatible. As of now, a few devices like the Xiaomi 13 Pro, Oppo Find X6 Pro phones, and Lenovo Legion Slim 7 laptop already support Wi-Fi 7. And you can bet your bottom dollar that more devices will jump on the Wi-Fi 7 bandwagon soon. With Wi-Fi 7 around the corner, businesses can look forward to lightning-fast connectivity, enhanced productivity, and smoother operations. It's really exciting. Are you looking forward to this upgrade? Or, if you have questions, reach out!
