As of the moment, there is no iota of doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S III is not only one of the most capable devices available in the smartphone market today, it is also one of the most popular. This popularity of the handset stems from the fact that it has an impressive specs sheet and brings even more impressive capabilities to the table. Due to this popularity of the device, its sales numbers have skyrocketed and it was reported a couple of weeks ago that sales of the Samsung Galaxy S III already reached the 20 million mark in just a hundred days after it was launched back in the latter parts of May.
The Samsung Galaxy S III for Sprint is on sale now starting at 99.99.
This strong sales performance is a testament to the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy S III and the handset looks like it is about to smash sales records everywhere. However, industry analysts were quick to point out that the release of the iPhone 5 could be a stumbling block for the Samsung flagship device. It is no secret that Apple’s smartphone is always eagerly awaited by the smartphone-buying population and we were rather interested on how this development will affect the strong showing of the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Apparently, the release of the sixth-generation Apple iPhone did not have much effect on the sales performance of the Samsung Galaxy S III. In fact, this even contributed to a spike in the sales of the Samsung handset according to Localytics, a firm that provides marketing and analytics to iOS and Android app publishers. Looking back, the sales performance of the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III held steady prior to the announcement of the iPhone 5.
However, its sales popped 15% after Apple unveiled its sixth-generation iPhone which meant that potential buyers held off a bit to see what Apple’s handset had to offer. After probably realizing that Apple’s latest effort wasn’t impressive enough, these buyers made a change in their purchasing plans and went off to buy the Samsung Galaxy S III instead.
And even after the iPhone 5 has already hit the shelves, the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S III still showed a 9% growth. This means that Samsung still sells a lot of its flagship handset even if its main competitor is already available for mass consumption. With the handset weathering the iPhone 5 storm, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S III could also withstand the upcoming competition from the likes of the HTC One X+, the LG Optimus G and the handful of Windows Phone 8 devices expected to get released in the coming months.
