NEW YORK -- The recently announced CSR-Samsung deal, under which Samsung Electronics will acquire CSR’s handset connectivity/location development operations and its technology, was an easy sell to the financial community. Everyone loved it.
After all, the British chip company, which originally made its name in Bluetooth chips, was losing ground in smartphones to bigger rivals who were combining more functions in a single platform. Offloading struggling business units to a lucrative buyer is a business practice highly valued on Wall Street.
But then, what’s left of CSR -- with no connectivity and location technologies at its core?
