Fearless Predictions for Samsung Android Phones –
Galaxy Series are the Next Big Thing
It is no doubt that the demand for smartphones continue to soar in the market, although the high-level praises given are sometimes exaggerated. The mobile handset has empowered millions of people unforeseen a decade ago in many ways. Prior, to such technological introduction, if you wanted to watch the weather, you had to be present in front of a television and watch the weather channel. In order to do research, you had to visit the library. Also, a software had to be installed on your computer if you wanted to play a video game. With such invention, today, the world is simply changed forever and nearly all things are possible with smartphones.
Historically, the first smartphone is actually the IBM Simon, designed in 1992. However, the world is now about five years into the surge of smartphones. This is duly thanks to Apple's iPhone which really made an explosion of growth and demand among mobile users in every corner of the world. Undoubtedly, the iPhone was responsible for the revived interest of mobile developers in smartphones. Nothing even came close to the high level of popularity of the said product before. With the Android being the closest threat, Apple is now faced with a number of competitors. However, Samsung stands out among all the hundreds of Android phones offered by smartphone manufacturers.
It is predicted that within a couple of years, the Samsung Android phones will become the leader in the smartphone community worldwide. Experts are convinced that the Samsung Android phones will be the one to beat in the near future because of their ability to build and source components (such as processors and screens). In 2011, it is estimated that between 87.6 million to 94.6 million Samsung Android phones were sold by the giant South Korean multinational company. On the other hand, Apple sold about 58 million iPhones during the first nine months of 2011. It is now clear that the battle is between the Android by Samsung and the iPhone. The Samsung Android Phones are expected to compete with the iphone as the demand shifts from feature phones to iphones (especially the Galaxy series). Samsung announced that since April of last year after the launch of the Galaxy S series, sales have hit the 30 million mark. Of that figure, one-third covers the Galaxy S2. The Galaxy S2 was one of the first mobile device with a laptop-esque dual-core processor and eight mega pixel camera, months before the Apple's iPhone 4S. With sales of over three million units in only 55 days, the Galaxy 4S became the fastest selling smartphone to ever enter the market. Supporting three major carriers of the U.S., the Galaxy S2 really has a great future ahead. As the popularity of the Samsung Android phone grows so will the love for the Galaxy series. Galaxy S3 is now the newest addition to the Samsung Android family. The Galaxy S3 is expected to be among the heaviest competitors in the second half of this year, if Apple launches its iPhone 5 this year. Statistically, Apple's iPhone series biggest competitor on the market so far is the Samsung Android phone. Robert Yi, Senior VP of Samsung, stated that he strongly believes that the demand will increase significantly for Samsung smartphones after the huge success of the S2. Carefully strategizing the release of its products prior to Apple's launches, the South Korean company is benefiting tremendously raking in record-breaking profits. Their "lets’ launch ours before Apple launches theirs" tactic is really working for them, and this is one of the reasons they are releasing their S3 before Apple launches their iPhone 5. Analyst believe that the Samsung Android phones and tablets are moving closer to Apple-level profits, and its brilliant strategies may overtake the iPhone and iPad in the coming days. The competition is something to watch between the two giants. There is no doubt, however, that Samsung Android phones ( the Galaxy Series in particular ) are becoming the next big thing because of Samsung’s intelligent tactics and the availability of choices at various price points, making them more affordable and accessible to middle-class consumers worldwide. |
