Tech Bite: The Smartphone market
heats up
The smartphone market over the past few
years has seen some serious competitiveness with new manufacturers entering the
kitchen to get a slice of the cake. Market leaders Apple Inc’s iPhone and
Samsung’s Galaxy Series devices are being given a great push by challengers such
as Nokia with its Lumia range, Sony’s cute Experia models and the ever freezing
Blackberry which recently launched its new phone a week ago. And let’s not
forget Huawei who are proving to be a challenger to be wary of.
Rumours of a possible new Samsung Galaxy S
phone have been circulating within the technology landscape. The Korean
electronics maker announced on its Flickr page that it has sold over 100
million Galaxy S smartphones since the launch of the Series in May of 2010.
With the S III shipping 40 million phones
in just a period of six months, Samsung are clearly sending a message to its
main contender for top spot, Apple Inc, to never fall asleep on the job.
If the rumours of a new addition to the
Series family are to go with, then consumers should be warned not to rush into
their pockets until the Galaxy S IV comes out to play.
Its speculated that the S IV could be
slightly thinner with a larger display than the S III. The Samsung Galaxy S IV
might make battery-charging a bit less cumbersome and utilize the devices
improved cameras.
Could Samsung have finally built a machine
to grab the top spot from Apples iPhone?
Well we shall see in due time.
