Iphone 5s Vs Galaxy S6 +picture
The palindromic similarity between the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6S is about as abutting as Samsung Electronics Corp. is accepting to Apple Inc. in the smartphone bazaar these days.
On Wednesday Apple apparent its 11th iPhone -- the iPhone 6S. Earlier this year Samsung apparent the Galaxy S6, which is the South Korean giant's 10,456th smartphone.
OK, so that aftermost cardinal might not be true, but it feels like it is. The Galaxy S6 is aloof one allotment of Samsung’s continued and absolute attack to supplant the iPhone as the smartphone of best for hundreds of millions of bodies -- an effort that is declining miserably.
At one point, the Galaxy S ambit of smartphones from Samsung looked like it could be a 18-carat amateur to the ascendancy of the iPhone as the world’s admired smartphone. The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 awash in (relatively) huge numbers, and it looked like Samsung was on the appropriate track.
However, in the accomplished brace of years, as Samsung has seen sales of the Galaxy S5 falter, it has approved to alter in adjustment to authority its position as the world's bigger smartphone manufacturer.
Flagships, Flagships, Flagships
The anew appear Galaxy Note 5 has baffled a bulk of added high-end handsets in the custom criterion test. However, this accessory got trumped by one of Samsung's own handsets.

And so this year, alongside the flagship Galaxy S6, we accept the flagship Galaxy S6 edge, the flagship Galaxy Note 5, the flagship Galaxy S6 bend and the flagship Galaxy S6 active. Before the end of the year, we will acceptable see the Galaxy S6 mini, the Galaxy Note 5 Alive and the Galaxy S6 Donald Trump.
Again, we're badinage with that aftermost model, but the point stands. Samsung is authoritative it added difficult for users to adjudge which smartphone they should buy. In 2014 alone, Samsung appear 56 smartphones -- at accepted rates, it would booty Apple 28 years to absolution the aforementioned cardinal of new phones.
Samsung has said it is aggravating to cut down, and so far this year, according to GSM Arena’s database, it has appear "only" 21 smartphones -- admitting if you accommodate variants, that figure increases dramatically.
Tick, Tock
On the added hand, Apple is afterward a abundant added belted course, allowing customers to apperceive absolutely what to expect.
Everyone knows that every September brings a new iPhone, and while that might mean lower iPhone sales in the third division of every year as bodies authority off updating, it additionally agency that consumers are not confused.
Add to this the alarm amend aeon area Apple updates the architecture of the iPhone every two years, while the alternating S amend -- which we saw on Wednesday -- improves upon an already accomplished phone. As noted, advance every two years on the S amend is in actuality the acute move.
Apple gives users three basal choices: the 4.7-inch iPhone 6S, the 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus and the 4.5-inch iPhone 5S. While some may bewail the abridgement of diversity, it agency Apple can ascendancy the acquaintance on the phones abundant added tightly, and the aftereffect is chump achievement ratings in the aerial 90s, which Tim Cook is consistently agog to acknowledgment in columnist conferences and balance calls.
Samsung never boasts about chump achievement ratings. It is not bright why.
Radically Different
Think about it: Bodies apperceive that the iPhone is a acceptable phone. There's little debating that, and Apple doesn’t appetite to agitated that acumen by ablution article radically different.
Instead, it has taken the iPhone 6 -- which was universally accepted by reviewers as able-bodied as barter -- and bigger it dramatically. It has fabricated one of the best smartphone cameras alike better; it has additional achievement with the A9 chip; it has added a altered and potentially actual advantageous affection with 3D Touch. As Apple says, “The alone affair that’s afflicted is everything.”
Samsung, on the added hand, changes the attending and feel of its Galaxy S ambit appealing badly every year, abacus and removing appearance at accidental and declining to accommodate a constant acquaintance for those attractive to advancement from a antecedent model. They may not attending radically altered at aboriginal glance, but aces them up and use them, and the attenuate change of a button or sensor agency acquirements all over afresh how the buzz works.
Getting The Message Across
The affair isn’t about whether the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 bend are acceptable smartphones -- they are -- the affair is that Samsung artlessly does not acquaint why they are abundant smartphones about as able-bodied as Apple does with the iPhone. Samsung has gotten bigger at announcement its own smartphones, but there is still too abundant of this blazon of absolutely misjudged presentation for the Galaxy S4.
While Apple’s assuming at such contest is about superb, it is not allowed to agnate mistakes, as we saw with chief vp Eddy Cue’s awkward Apple Music presentation at WWDC this year.
The botheration comes from the actuality that Samsung is accepting awkward at both ends of the smartphone market. At the exceptional end, Apple is assertive while at the account end of the bazaar -- area Samsung saw exponential advance in contempo years -- it is actuality surpassed by a growing core of Chinese smartphone makers who are alms bigger accouterments at lower prices and are accommodating to attenuate Samsung at every about-face aloof to accretion some bazaar share.
Samsung needs to amend its smartphone strategy, but it may already be too late to chase in Apple's footsteps and action barter a bright best of the best technology the aggregation has to action in a baby ambit of smartphones that will awning the majority of the market.
