Typical of big companies in Asia. They don't want anybody to lose face so they don't sack the guy but "promote" him to an honorific post where he will have nothing to do but looking out of the window waiting for his retirement package...

          It would be nice to see Samsung step up it's mobile design game. On other departments (TV's, Audio products, Laptops) their designs are very good. ( At least their high end models). If they had better looking phones their dominance over the market would be even bigger.
          I hope also they redesign touchwiz. Touchwiz functionality is great and has some very awesome features but it's far from good looking.

            And now, who be replaced from LG, because last 2 years LG make copy cat from Samsung :D

              O.k Samsung have been heavy slagged down about the Build Quality of the Smartphones,but at least they offer one of Best Features on the phones Removable Battery Option,an if they change there designs an not offer this Function again,they would still be more Slagged down,at least there phones are Light an not Easily Scratched like Metal bodies are,an if there phones look like the iPhones then Apple will act like Babies again an take Sammy to Court again

                Its still just the same people who designed the galaxy line. No significant change here.
