Even though Alphabet president uses an iPhone, claims Samsung makes better phones

Three months ago, the current president of Alphabet and former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, attended an event in South Korea where he could see how the phone he uses is an iPhone 6 instead of any other device managed by Android. Despite being the president of Alphabet, the business group that is behind Android, previously served on Apple's board of directors, since it had to leave when Google began to become direct competition for the company based in Cupertino after the launch of the first devices managed with Android.

Schmidt gave an interview to CNBC after attending an event in Amsterdam, where the president of Alphabet has confirmed that he uses two phones daily: an iPhone 6s and a Samsung Galaxy S7. During the interview, he was asked about his preferences and how we can suppose the answer was the expected one:

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is better. It has a longer battery life and all iPhone users know it, I'm sure.

However, at the same time it is a curious answer because Alphabet owns Google, which in turn has its own line of devices called Nexus. While Schmidt enjoys trolling iPhone users claiming that the battery is the main problem with this device, it seems that he is trying to give Samsung a boost to continue creating devices like the Galaxy S7 that are receiving such good reviews from users. .

Not the first time Schmidt is photographing with a competing phone. When he was on Apple's board of directors and before leaving it, on more than one occasion he was photographed using a Blackberry 9900, one of the most successful devices the Canadian company had.

    The headline should be that the president of alphabet, which uses an iphone and a galaxy s7, claims that samsung makes better phones.
    By the headline it gives the feeling that it ONLY uses iphone

    As you can see, he has not had a Samsung in his hands for several years. How easy it is to speak without knowing. Since I switched to iPhone I have not regretted anything. Those failures that I had with Samung I do not have with Iphone.

    Because it lasts longer on battery .. It does not mean that it is a better phone, have you changed an iPhone or a Samsung? Apple's guarantee is the best, iOS is more optimized. You just have to see the comparisons that make s7 vs 6s and with much less, it wins in almost everything. , we'll see how they progress with iOS 10 and iPhone 7
