Samsung unable to cope with huge demand of Galaxy S3

galaxy s3 10 millionSamsung’s much acclaimed recent launch of their flagship Galaxy S3 smartphone is getting good response worldwide and because of this popularity and hype Samsung is unable to cope with massive demand of Galaxy S3. Because of this huge demand Samsung will miss out the sales of about 2 million Galaxy S3 smartphones.

Samsung is expected to to ship 10 million Galaxy S3 within two months. The reason for this huge demand can be contributed to the fact that there is no competition from Apple. Apple is expected to launch the next iPhone later this year. There are some launches from Nokia and Motorola but they are not good enough to beat Galaxy S3.

Presently the main competitor of Galaxy S3 are listed below:

  • iPhone 4s at Rs. 42,000 is one of the costliest phone available in India presently. Though its from Apple’s stable but it stands no where near the might of Galaxy S3. Starting from specifications to quality of the build Galaxy S3 mauls iPhone 4s brutally.
  • HTC One X at Rs. 36,000 is one of the major competitor to Galaxy S3 as it also features a quad core processor like Galaxy S3. But it never gets the same popularity as Galaxy S3 because of the massive amount of technical glitches this phone is facing presently like random reboot. Another reason can be attributed to the fact that no smartphone from HTC is as popular as Samsung’s Galaxy S2 which can give push to their future releases.
