Samsung Galaxy S4 was launched today by Samsung, and an American analyst is already making predictions about the future of the terminal. He says the device would not be innovative and that it will be dominated by iPhone 5S as soon as it will be launched on the market, quite bold statements, considering that Apple has not yet said anything about its future device. He says that Samsung Galaxy S 4 it is thicker, heavier and less refined than the iPhone 5 terminal and this will affect its sales as soon as iPhone 5S will be released.
We are amazed by how analysts and the media have turned on Apple during the recent stock downdrafts with statements that Samsung is 'out-innovating' Apple. One would believe that Samsung is crushing Apple in the mobile phone market. We believe this is complete nonsense. While the S4 is likely to be the iPhone's biggest competitor this year at the high-end of the market, we remain confident in our iPhone estimate for this year of 177.5 million, which includes a cheaper phone in the September quarter. We see the S4 as unlikely to meaningfully impact the iPhone share of the high-end over the full year, but do expect it to take share from other Android phones.
Separate from the opinions of this analyst, another claims that Samsung Galaxy S4 it is comparable to the "S" series iPhones, that is, the updates implemented by Samsung are not important, but only constitute an upgrade for an existing model. the truth is that Samsung Galaxy S 4 is a Samsung Galaxy S IIIS, the Koreans preferring to keep the design, enlarge the screen and implement some new, not extremely important functions, which Apple generally does.
