Un-Apple: The Samsung Galaxy S7 announcement in one word
- stevep2007 11y agoSamsung’s flagship Galaxy smartphone sales cycle restarted yesterday with the announcement of the Galaxy S7 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Last year’s Galaxy S6 becomes Samsung’s mid-priced phone and the one from two years ago becomes an entry-level phone sold in developing markets and with a prepaid plan. Big premium sales revenue must be kick started with this announcement to carry Samsung through Apple’s iPhone 7 announcement in September until it returns to Barcelona to announce the Galaxy S8 at Mobile World Congress 2017, starting the cycle all over again.
- bydo 11y agoIs this really how Samsung's release cycle works, though? According to GSM Arena[1], they've released over 20 "Galaxy" phones since the S6 came out. Most of them I've never heard of, though the Note devices (released in fall, nearer the iPhone launch dates) also receive quite a bit of fanfare. 1: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung-phones-9.php http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung-phones-9.php
