Samsung Galaxy S8 generate higher revenues than iPhone 7 according to a new study published in the USA, this being a first for the Android world. According to the American company deltaDNA, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus generated more money per user, daily, than the iPhone 7 Plus, and here we are talking about the games that the users of these terminals use on a daily basis in the United States.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus surpassed the iPhone 7 Plus in terms of revenue generated daily by users of games for mobile terminals, a field in which Apple had no rival. The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is not the only smartphone that questions Apple's dominance, because the Google Pixel XL is also very close to the revenues generated by the terminals of those from Cupertino in games.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus practically puts an end to a decade of iPhone dominance among the revenues generated by games for mobile terminals. Probably some of you already know that games are the applications that generate the vast majority of money made by smartphone and tablet application developers, so we are talking about a major win for Samsung thanks to the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.
Samsung Galaxy S8 makes more money than iPhone 7
Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus has here the first confirmation of supremacy in iPhone 7 where it matters a lot, but other similar confirmations are also needed. Considering the importance of studies of this kind, it is also necessary for other American companies to confirm the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus dominates the iPhone 7 Plus in the revenues generated from games, but also that the Google Pixel XL comes very close to it.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus was launched in March, and the Google XL in the fall, just like the iPhone 7 Plus, the latter being available in the largest number of active units. Despite this, it seems that the best income will be "harvested" by developers who choose to make games for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, something that until now could not be recommended to application developers.
"The fact that iOS games monetize better than those on Android is well known, but what's interesting is how the screen size and performance of the device contribute massively to strong monetization. It may have taken 10 years for anyone to make a smartphone that can challenge the iPhone for games. Our study shows that gamers certainly feel that the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices aren't far off."
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus could take away from Apple the great advantage with which it attracted application developers to the iOS platform, the generation of considerable income. If the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus continues to dominate the iPhone in this market segment, then Apple will have big problems in convincing developers to think first of the iOS platform when it comes to game development.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus could still be just a prelude to the big problem, because Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could deepen it for Apple.
