20 April, 2015
The phones will only have Docomo and Galaxy logo on the back but a clean front.

    Samsung asked the Japanese carrier Docomo to sell their phones unbranded to try to increase their market share. People don't buy Samsung phones in Japan. Do they know something we don't or vice versa?

      LG retains its name on their Japanese market-only smartphones. What does it mean?

        However this jimmy kimmel stunt portrays one well known fact, that there are a large group of people who will trust any fruit product no matter what, what is better known as blind trust. That is what brand equity or brand value is all about.

        Now when this is extrapolated to a very large scale with monopolistic practices, then it is upto you to judge whether this is a good thing or not.

        On a lighter note, what is this "opposite version" you are talking about, A fruit product with a casio label!!! Thats just... absurd, what else can I say. btw if you happen to see mkbhd's first impressions of the said product, there's a very interesting observation he makes... If this itime or i whatever would have been showcased by a "well known korean" brand, then they would simply have been laughed off the stage, Just because it has the fruit logo, it can pull this stunt off.

                Maybe this author should tell the reader what in the world a Docomo is. Before throwing the word around like we see it all the time.

In cut room you can make people to believe anything you want. Im sure that from the material which they shot they could have made exact opposite version too, but who would have wanted to see that? :) get it? That would have been stupid video.

                        As you say the fruit company doesn't spell its name on its product, that's because the fruit fans will consume anything with a fruit logo on its back. Here is an interesting example from a long time back. It shows how fruit fans go on praising how innovative and outstanding a $20 casio watch is ( just because it has a fruit sticker on its back ) and it becomes the itime or iwhatever something from a far away galaxy!!

                              So now samsung is copying apple as apple doesnt say "APPLE" on any of their products on the front or back. Just their logo. LOL

                                      Idk. I like the branding. Unbranded android phones Always look like a Chinese knockoff to me.

                                        Without logo looks are more premium. Just to buy in Japan :) .
                                        Edge being so different I wouldn't be afraid of some copycats.
