Samsung explains how it plans to improve its software efforts

General

Samsung has improved the software quality on its mobile devices starting with the Galaxy S6, and the company claims that it will continue to do so in the future. Mihai Pohontu, vice president of emerging platforms at Samsung, has explained how the company plans to do that exactly.

Mihai Pohontu announced during an interview at the GamesBeat Summit 2016 event that Samsung will expand its Made for Samsung program to indie game developers, something that had been exclusive only to app developers. The South Korean smartphone giant has already worked with CNN, The Weather Channel, Expedia, Lyft, and others to make their apps available on multiple platforms including smartphones, tablets, wearables, and VR headsets.

It appears that DJ Koh, the new president of Samsung's mobile division understands the importance of software, and he had made it clear that software is the future of the company during the Samsung Developers Conference 2016. The company has also started focusing on games starting with the Galaxy S7, which comes with a powerful GPU, Game Tools, Game Launcher, and support for Vulkan APIs.

Samsung also wants to engage with the gaming community, and it plans to have a significant presence at E3, a major trade fair for the video gaming industry. The company will tie up with indie game developers and give them a fair share of exposure through its Galaxy Apps store, and will take quality game developers to trade shows such as CES and MWC.
