Samsung Galaxy S3 becomes the best-selling smartphone in the U.S.

 

Since Apple launched the popular iPhone 4S, the smartphone has been first on the list of U.S. sales. But there is another smartphone that will just grab the first place, and is, obviously, the Samsung Galaxy S3, who managed to beat the iPhone in the number of sales in August.
The news was released by analyst firm Canaccord Genuity. According to analyst Michael Walkley "We believe this is the first month that the iPhone 4S is not the smartphone with the highest number of sales since it was launched in October 2011." Mobile sales have declined in recent months, and many believe it is due to be launched soon Apple iPhone 5.
At the same time, sales of the Galaxy S3 have done very well, so combining these two factors do not seem odd that the S3 has become the best selling smartphone in August.
However, competition will become more interesting when Apple introduces the iPhone 5, which will happen on September 12, in only one week, in an event that has already been confirmed by Apple.
There will be outstanding.
