When it comes to sales, iPhones have always reigned supreme. Year after year, every version has outsold every individual handset the competition has to offer. One of the reasons iOS smartphones are doing so well is due to the unwavering loyalty of Apple fans. They are more inclined to upgrade their device's successor once it comes out. The same was expected with the iPhone 4S. However, this was not the case this November of 2011. There is a new handset that has broken the trend. This is the Samsung Galaxy S2.
This is an extraordinary feat for the Korean tech giant. The Cupertino firm is known for spending billions on advertising and marketing for their products. This is one of the reasons why the company is the best performing company the world has ever seen. Samsung managed to remain on top since the S2's launch eight months ago. It managed to do this without spending as much on advertising and marketing. If fact, it only spent a fraction compared to Apple's marketing expenses. Never has a mobile phone been this poplar against Apple's handset.
This news comes to us via uSwitch. This website tracks a handset's performance in the UK according to sales performance and searches on the internet. According to the data they gathered, the Korean smartphone has dominated the market for eight consecutive months. This currently makes the Samsung Galaxy S2 the most desired smartphone in the British market.
The website's technology expert is Ernest Doku. He said, "The iPhone 4S has generated a huge level of interest from consumers, with retailers really finding it tough to cope with the high demand, even a month post-launch. This situation has certainly been compounded by the iPhone 4S's surprising level of affordability.
"However, this should not take anything away from Samsung's achievement with the ever popular Galaxy S2. It is undoubtedly the phone of the year, critically acclaimed and capturing the interest of smartphone addicts across the country for the last eight months."
This is a clear indication that the trend is now changing. Of course, there is no way for the S2 to maintain its popularity forever. There will come a point when it relinquishes its reign to another handset. It may be an iPhone or it could be something else. However, maintaining the title as the top selling smartphone in the market for 8 months is no easy feat. It did this by offering the consumer a larger 4 inch display, a more powerful 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, and a slim 8.5 mm profile. These are the reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S2 is still the top selling smartphone in the market.
