Anyone who have been conversant in the Tech world be aware of the Cold War between Samsung and Apple
The two companies have been at war about a lot of things with patents being the chief trigger. Samsung have been know to copy Apple phone designs over the years,but they have started making some leaps of their own, their curved screen design caught the heart of the tech world and it was even reported that Apple and Google will be copying the design in the I-Phone and Pixel phone respectively
However that is not the reason I am writing about Samsung today.
We all recieved news last week that Samsung are going into the Blockchain business, they have started making moves that will see them produce Bitcoin (ASIC) mining chips
Even though that this has nothing to do with their mobile phone division, I just believe that with time they will toe the path of Sirin Labs
Sirin Labs the company which developed the Solarin smartphone worth $14,000 recently announced last year that they were working on a Blockchain model. The phone will able to securely hold cryptocurrency. They had a crowdsale which raised a whooping $157 million
The phone will be only available to the SRN token holders. The phone network will operate without centralized backbones and mining centers cluttering up the network. The operating system will be specially designed to support Blockchain application which Wallets and secure exchages gateways
While Sirin Labs have a Limited market for their Phones, I believe that Samsung has the resources to open a similar product up to the masses without the need to run a crowdsale or ICO
They have already captured the heart of the Cryptocurrency community by adopting the Blockchain, I believe that creating a Blockchain supporting phone will be a massive move in the right direction
Apple have already lost some love from the Technology world when they admitted that they slowed down older I-Phones and no matte how sensible their reason sounded people don't care.
Some people have vowed never to buy another I-Phone
So do you think a Blockchain enabled phone from Samsung can make them unseat Apple from their throne or do you think they will need something more than that, share your thoughts in the comments below

This is really awesome! Blockchain and crypto currency is going on a whole new level!
In relation to your question about Samsung unseating Apple, I don't think that's gonna happen so fast or happen at all because iPhone is operating on a different OS from Samsung and iPhone's OS cuz of d apps(software) and games . But let's see how it goes
Thats true @kingeazi
Even though Samsung have caught up with Apple when it comes to Hardware, they still have a lot of work to do when it comes to the software part
Thanks for the information bro, I'm a huge fan of tech stuffs!
I think creating a blockchain enabled Samsung phone can make them unseat apple because most Samsung phones posses the features of an iPhone and even more... And I don't buy the idea of people saying Samsung copied iPhones Build ,in technology there is what Is called technology modification and I think that has been the strategy Samsung has been putting in place...
Hmm. Thats a new angle and a new way to put it. It reminds me of a saying I like .

Yes Samsung has entered production phase of ASIC miners and mining equipment specialized for bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining. but I have a question. Is SIRINLABS capable of challenging Apple Samsung in mobile innovation and futuristic product? Are they really about luxury combined with style and blockchain OS?
If Samsung becomes blockchain enabled, we can say goodbye to the supremacy of iPhone because as they say in business , it's not about who is best but who is first
