Samsung Electronics Co. has said it is working with Internet giant
Google Inc. to offer improved messaging experiences that would allow
users to engage in group chats and video calls and transfer large files
without the need for additional apps.
The collaboration will
ensure that Android Messages and Samsung Messages will work together
seamlessly, and it will boost coverage of Rich Communication Services
(RCS), an upgrade to the SMS messaging system, Yonhap news agency
reported.
The South Korean tech giant said it would work to bring
RCS features to existing mobile phones beginning with the Galaxy S8 and
S8 Plus.
It also said its new Galaxy smartphones will natively
support RCS messaging, starting with those on a set of carriers that
have or will soon launch RCS.
"By furthering our robust
partnership with Google, we will bring a richer messaging experience to
our customers, letting them seamlessly chat with their friends and
family across messaging platforms," Patrick Chomet, Executive Vice
President at Samsung's Mobile Communications Business, said in comments
posted on the website of Samsung Mobile Press on Wednesday.
"This collaboration will help further the industry's momentum toward advanced messaging and global RCS coverage."
"Our
partnership will further advance our shared vision of a substantially
improved messaging experience on Android for users, brands and the
broader Android ecosystem," Anil Sabharwal, Vice President for
Communications Products and Photos at Google, said.
The move
comes at a time when many people are opting to use popular messaging
apps, such as WhatsApp and WeChat instead of traditional SMS messaging.
