If they remove 3.5mm jack those numbers will probably be cut in half. Very optimistic, considering a lot of people still have Note 7 in mind and don't want to approach Samsung brand for now.

      60 million units!? In my opinion, Samsung will reach 35-40 million units sold of the S8, and that's it. (again, opinion)

          AnonD-608498, 09 Jan 2017Why not? I can customise my Android phones to suit my taste... moreChanging the background and the icons can barely called "customizing". On Windows you can have all kinds of app icon sizes, you get app info and notifications directly on the live tile without the need to open the app, you can customize the content of the live tiles. You can set the background to full or mask mode, you get transparency options, you have light/dark UI that actually looks and works as intended.

          How can boring, static icons be better than live tiles which offer so many customization options?

              Ha ha... who says Samsung has fastest phone in the world? have you heard about oneplus 3 or 3T? those devices are almost half price of S7.. and the speediest phone even more speediest than google pixel XL... so in terms of speed no one can beat oneplus 3 / 3T. so far...

There weren't much competitors. Thus the Samsung devices sold more.

                      I don't think the sales estimate for the S7 is accurate. It has been far more popular than the S6.

                          Until it all goes up in smoke. If by one day samsung deletes its usage algorithm thats slows the phone down closer to a new model release. Limiting its use and weaker batery life and frustrating you enough to make you believe that the new unit is needed.

                            With fixed battery and no 3.5mm audio jack (all those 60M dumb will buy BT earphones? I don't think so), this phone is just like an iPhone Plus (which has the best warranty services). If I am to throw away my phone every 2-3 years, I will try other brands. I am sure there are many others thinking similarly.

And my 22-month old S6E never lagged until now and is as smooth as my one-year old iPhone 6s. And it is my go to device for many purposes....If you don't like Touchwiz u can choose any launcher among many in play store. And FYI i rarely changed S6E's launcher. Touchwiz is lot smoother now than before.

Apple's worldwide annual revenue totaled $233 billion for the fiscal year ending in September 2015.[3] This revenue generation accounts for approximately 1.25% of the total United States GDP." - Wikipedia. Samsung is bigger, but Apple is even much more bigger and richer with far lesser products than Samsung. And i am not an Apple Fan.

I am not going into download or sharing limitations of IOS which is a different chapter altogether. Only thing i like is its build quality. Yes it feel premium in hand. No other device build till date has such craftsmanship. A Flawless stone/ shit in your hand to raise your proud.

                                      Samsung is by far the best and THE company with a bright future with: Galaxy smartphones (three year in row best smartphone (S5, S6 and S7), ever evolving and in popularity increasing Tizen OS, VIV (Bixby), Joyent, largest mobile VR supplier, 35% marketshare worldwide in TV's, large and increasing marketshare in home appliances and large and increasing market share in IOT, acquisition of Harmen that gives them access to: companies like: Ford, Mercedes, Audi, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, BMW, Ferrari, Jeep, Porsche, Toyota, Chrysler, Volkwsagen and about 7 more. They are the number 1 in producing OLED screens, memory chips, SSD (2nd).

                                      Tizen will be installed yearly in 500 million appliances, tv's, IOT devices, smartphones and other devices.

                                      They are te biggest spender in R&D of any company in the World (12 billion USD a year) and have an immense bank account of more than 65 billion USD.

                                      Samsung has it all to become even bigger and bigger.

                                      Apple has....uhm...uhm...???

                                        The Galaxy S3 and S4 sold way more than the S5 S6 and looking like the S7. But wait they were made from plastic that apparently no one likes.. or do they? plus the fact the phones got bigger and heavier from the S5 onwards. just saying thats all
