with Google having recently taken the wraps off the Motorola-made Nexus 6 smartphone, but the rampant success of the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus won’t have stung any competitor quite as severely as Samsung. The Korean outfit’s Note series, considered flagship alongside the Galaxy S line-up, has been a saving grace for fans of handsets with large displays, but even with the Galaxy Note 4 announcement being bolstered by the intriguing Galaxy Note Edge, there’s seemingly little that the Tizen maker can do to halt the dominance of its bitter rival.
Following on from the recent report that iPhone 6 Fever was even taking a stronghold on Samsung’s own patch in South Korea, one analyst has chimed into the debate by adding that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus could outsell the Galaxy Note 4 by 10-to-1 – further proof that Sammy is hurting badly from Apple’s decision to join the ranks of the more sizeable handsets.
Shinhan Investment’s Kim Young-chan wrote in a note to clients that eventually, the latest iOS-running device will outsell the Note 4 tenfold, and given the fact that the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus is creating a frenzy in Korea, Kim and other analysts are genuinely concerned about the performance of Samsung, LG and other big names across the nation.
Traditionally, many companies enjoy a strong reception from their home nations. Sony, for example, famously outsells Microsoft’s Xbox across Japan, and until this year, Samsung always seemed to have the support of its compatriots. But while some media outlets have remained staunchly behind what is one of the country’s greatest exports, it seems that many others have told it like it is – the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus is proving too hot for Samsung to handle at this point in time.
