Saw 4-5 people with the Samsung GS 4 and one with the HTC One. Israel has the second highest smartphone per capita ratio in the world, so I think we're a prerty good gauge. Anyways haven't seen the Z yet and I really like that phone.

They could... moreIn any company, if a logistics person was purchasing and storing millions inventories in the warehouse, they would be fired within the week for incompetence. Especially in the technology sector where products go obsolete at the rate of twice a year, they don't "stockpile" inventories for later. So shipped number is a very reliable number to cou t sales.

Apple scored 52 percent against Samsung’s 50 and LG’s 46. Apple also scored highest for after-sales support, reliability and speed of repair … "

And unless you know the details of the various agreements they have, you have no idea when Samsung will be paid or how many each retailer is contractually obligated to order. These phones are in the channel. It's a simple marketing technique that companies use to hype their products and to mislead simple people. Is it that hard for you to understand or have you been drinking too much samsung kool aid? Maybe you're just one of those paid students trying to make you posting quota so Samsung pays you this weekend.

Well I see so many s4 in Samsung stores not yet sold. How could anyone claim that shipped is equivalent to sold?

"Companies also sometimes fudge their numbers using a sleight of hand called "channel stuffing." In short, this trick lets a business conjure up higher sales figures by shipping more products to retailers than the retailers are able to sell.
Samsung itself got caught doing this kind of number fudging with its Galaxy Tab tablet earlier this year.
Samsung initially announced last December that it had sold 1 million Galaxy Tab units. Then in January, the company said it had sold 2 million units. But during a later earnings call with analysts, a Samsung executive admitted that those numbers didn't refer to consumer sales but rather to the number of tablets the company had shipped to retailers. The executive reportedly used the term "sell-in" to reflect shipments to retailers and "sell-out" to reflect sales to consumers." - CNET
