Samsung responds to Apple and company: the Galaxy S should arrive much earlier
According to internal sources, the South Korean smartphone maker plans to launch its flagship Galaxy S more than a month earlier than expected.
Samsung Electronics wants to steal market share from its competitors Huawei and Apple, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The new Galaxy S21 should be available at the end of January next year. The current Android flagship Galaxy S20 was launched by the South Koreans in early March.
Samsung Electronics declined to comment.
Notorious tech leaker Jon Prosser, who has often been right with his advance information, wants to know that three new Galaxy S models on January 14, 2021 to be featured: S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra. The official start of sales will take place on January 29.
Is Apple also under pressure?
According to market researchers at Canalys, sales of the Galaxy S20 5G series did not do well in the second quarter of the fiscal year. South Koreans reportedly sold 59 percent fewer devices in the United States compared to sales in the same period last year. By contrast, Apple shipped 15 percent more of its flagship iPhone 11 than the previous year’s best-seller, the iPhone XR.
Samsung lost its No. 1 position in global smartphone sales to Huawei in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Huawei was overtaken again, thanks in part to economic sanctions imposed on Huawei by the US government and by Xiaomi, which according to market researchers sold more devices than Apple.
Samsung is mired in intensifying competition from Chinese rivals like Xiaomi and Oppo, who are likely to take advantage of Huawei’s fight for market share.
And Apple is also under pressure. Californians released their new iPhones about a month later than usual in 2020, increasing competition. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro came out in October, and the 12 Pro Max and 12 Mini followed in November.
It should be noted that Apple has the best-selling iPhone in the last two years with the iPhone 11 and is making the highest profits in the industry.
