What do you mean by "black consumers"? Are those supposed to be people who want to discredit the company or actual black people?

Thanks for the clarification :)

You have to imagine it will have some affect. I purchase the phones for my company and the (all non-technical) people who come me to generally ask, "Should I get an Apple or a Samsung?".

This is kinda the point. Those people aren't saying "android", they're saying "Samsung. This isn't going to affect android sales in general, other than the fact that Samsung accounts for a big chunk. Google is aiming to take that chunk, and more - they'll be saying "pixel" this time next year.

Except that Samsung is the largest supplier of Android. So if somebody was going to get an Android, it is likely they were going to get a Samsung.

If they don't get a Samsung, it is possible they will go to Apple, the other large supplier.

I acknowledged that and predicted that Google will increasingly encroach on Samsung's market share.
