Is the Galaxy S8 beating the iPhone 7?

Despite being nearly a year old now Apple’s iPhone 7 has remained the highest selling single model of smartphone all around the world, from the US to BRIC countries like India and Brazil as well. The recent launch of the Product Red version of the phone has given sales a nice boost and the phone has not really seen any real competition until now. Samsung had a rough year in 2016 with the fiasco of the Galaxy Note but the company has now bounced back stronger than ever, with the latest versions of its flagship line, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus. The new galaxy phones are game changing and have once and for all put to bed the accusations that Samsung only copies Apple because the latest Galaxy phones make the iPhone look like a relic from a past age. The sales figures prove this as well, as for the first time in its life, the iPhone 7 is now losing steam just as the Samsung phones hit the market and start selling like hotcakes.

One of the measures of the success of a phone is how many third party accessory makers offer back covers, smartphone cases, custom cases and covers for it. IPhones have always had the most support but this year it seems like every online accessory make is offering Galaxy S8 cases and Galaxy S8 Plus cases for the latest Samsung phones.

The hottest phone around the world.

Even in Asian countries like India, where Apple is a hugely aspirational brand and the iPhone is a very expensive luxury product that is a fashion symbol, smartphone buyers are deciding to buy the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus instead. Even designer case makers in the Far East are ramping up production of Galaxy S8 covers and Galaxy S8 Plus covers to keep up with the huge demand for compatible accessories for the new Samsung phones. To be fair though, the Samsung S8 and its larger version are competing against what is essentially a previous generation flagship phone from Samsung’s largest competitor.

However, competition is always good for the buyer and because of the wild success of the S8, Apple will not be able to release another iPhone that looks the same this year. The company will have to really improve its game when it releases the successor to the iPhone 7, if it wants to compete with Samsung.
