Samsung Galaxy S6 Struggles To Keep Up With Pace Of iPhone 6

Irrespective of being the largest smartphone vendor of the world, Samsung still trails Apple in the market.

The rivalry between Samsung and Apple dates back to decades. The South Korean smartphone maker was recently named as the largest smartphone vendor in the world after it lost its major chunk of the market share to its rival in the past year. The year 2014 was certainly not a year for Samsung, where it continuously posted poor results that further led to a major decline in its customer base. Consequently, Apple was named as the uncrowned king of the industry, but so far this year and after just two months of its two new launches in the smartphone market, the company has regained what it lost.

It is known that company made a good comeback in the market. Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are ‘modestly’ outselling its predecessor. If Galaxy S6 is compared to any previous models, it is well ahead in terms of sales in the market. The company managed to sell at least 305,000 S6 devices per day just after two months of its launch. Despite of having a staunch mark in the market, it has so far failed to keep up with the pace at which Apple is doing its business.

According to new figures from data tracker, Counterpoint Technology Market Research, it is believed that the new Samsung Galaxy models are still well behind Apple’s strong selling iPhone 6. As far as Hong Kong based Counterpoint is believed, the South Korean smartphone maker shipped around 10 million devices to different retailers and distributors through which at least 6 million were sold to the end user.

The data tracker said, “That was enough to top global sales of last year’s Galaxy S5 over the same period, but not enough to match the April performance of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Counterpoint didn’t specify how many handsets it estimates Apple sold in April.”

The spokeswoman of the company said that the two flagship products of Samsung are not only critically acclaimed but they are “are well accepted in the market and sustain the high demand since their market launches”.

She further said that the smartphone giant is currently looking to ramp up the production of its S6 Edge that will be contributing towards the immense growth of the company. However, she declined to give further information regarding the operation.

Apple launched its strong selling iPhone 6 in last fall, which is still said to be one of the most selling phones in the market, along with giving tough competition to Samsung’s new flagship products.

Samsung Foldable Smartphone Expected To Debut This Year

Samsung ambitious plans to work on a foldable smartphone, which might hit the market by the end of this year.

Samsung Group is not holding back! The company, once again, has become the largest smartphone vendor in the world. The South Korean smartphone maker took over Apple, who was the uncrowned king of the industry.

Samsung miserably failed during and after the launch of its Samsung Galaxy S5 model last year. This resulted in Apple and other companies overtaking the market share of Samsung. However, the company made a good comeback with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge model. It further plans to launch an Iron Man limited edition for its Edge version.

The latest Samsung update stated that the company is all set to work on a foldable dual screen smartphone. Samsung vendor has already gained immense traction with its flagship devices. Now, the company’s new project, which is a different and new device, is code named as ‘Valley’. According to the details that have been disclosed so far suggests that the Project Valley is in the infancy stages of development but the company’s plans are quite ambitious.

However, it is still not confirmed whether it is a prototype on which the company wishes to continue development till the final good product or terminate it at any time. It is believed that Samsung foldable phone with two display screens is expected to launch by the end of this year.

Many rumors have now gathered pace as Samsung has unveiled few prototypes regarding this smartphone. Moreover, it has also emerged in videos as well as dummies so far.

Market sources stated, “The device which Samsung is eyeing to launch is expected to support multiple gestures for switching between its two screens, and the fact that it is codenamed Project V/Valley suggest it could be a foldable device (the letter V is similar in shape to what a valley would look like, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to think the phone could feature two sides that fold together).”

Samsung was interested in working on a foldable device, but there were speculations before this year that it would release them by 2016. If the rumors about the company releasing these devices this year are true, then it will have to be very hard on work to be able to complete it.

As it has now reclaimed its number one position in the industry, the corporate giant wants to maintain the same momentum and sustain its market status over a long term.
