Despite the short time that the Galaxy S5 in stores and that all the news we have had to date pointed to a total sales success, the latest news from Asia states that Samsung would have reduced orders for the next quarter nothing more and nothing less than in one 25%, going from 21 million to "only" 15 million: is it due to fear of iPhone 6 or that they are preparing the arrival of the premium version of the Galaxy S5?
Does Samsung fear the iPhone 6?
We all know that despite the fact that other manufacturers Android has the flagships of Samsung as the rival to beat, in whom he really has Samsung always set his gaze is on Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, which makes it quite plausible that the company takes its movements into account in its sales projections and when setting its strategies. Could you go so far as to anticipate a cut of one 25% of the sales of your Galaxy S5 before the launch of iPhone 6?
The source from which this information comes, believes it, and does not hesitate to cite the foreseeable debut of the smartphone of those from Cupertino in September as the main cause, since there would be a good number of users who would be "reserving" for it. It is also true that analysts predict unprecedented success for the new generation of the iPhone. But even assuming the news about these cuts is true, is this the only possible explanation?
Galaxy S5 Premium Debut Could Be Near
Well, the truth is that there is at least one other explanation that seems quite plausible for this possible cut in orders and that would not have to do with the threat of iPhone 6, but simply with the need of the company to "make room" for another new flagship and it is that we cannot forget that, even though Samsung would deny it, there are many indications that a premium version of Galaxy S5 (be called Galaxy S5 Prime or Galaxy F) is already in the oven, and what's more, it seems even close to its debut. This variant, logically, aims to attract users who might be tempted by other devices (such as the LG G3 or as the new generation of iPhone) but, obviously, it would also be a very direct competitor for the "standard" Galaxy S5, which makes it quite logical that Samsung Expect a decline in sales of this one.
We will have to wait, as always, for more information to be able to draw clear conclusions. At the moment, the Galaxy S5 Prime o Galaxy f They still have no date on the calendar for their debut, and the next big event of Samsung it will be for their new tablets with AMOLED screens. Bill next Thursday, June 12 we will be here to give you all the details.
