Nothing interesting will come from this.
Yeah, I'm sure Samsung does as well, but I feel they've waited too late now for anything they do to make a difference. I can't imagine anything but a minority of people who would want to buy a Samsung phone without Google services, especially the Play Store. Hell, a crazy amount of people rely heavily on Google's services on iOS. But the difference there is they've got Apple and 3rd party stuff to also use and/out fall back on if they don't want/need to use Google. Samsung won't have that, just like Microsoft doesn't, and MS is in a much better position to pull something like this off than Samsung is.
The 7P would be top-tier.
you can't just take samsungs spot, samsung is a brand. If they stopped making android phones it doesn't mean all of a sudden LG will have their marketshare spike to samsung levels lol.
There is nothing wrong in that article though. It's literally all facts other than the 3-5 year prediction. Google is benifitting the most in the long term from samsung's dominance in the android space. That wouldn't sit well with any company. Tizen is happening bros. Time to embrace it. They just need to buy a map company, pay a shitton to developers for apps, somehow make tizen less shitty, then slowly transition it. The casuals won't even notice.
