    This and only with a 4 inch model.

    To top it off, Samsung sales are already falling, without Apple even unveiling its larger screened phone yet.

    If this trend continues, Q3 and Q4 are going to be disastrous for Samsung.

      Honestly I only traded in my 4s for 5s after hearing 6 is set to be 4.7 inches. Too big for my taste :(

        Hi Guys,
        I have used note 2 ,SamsungS4 and now Iphone5S
        Samsung phone hangs at times but never in iphone also user interface iphone is better
        Samsung has the same look for all models and if you buy a phone during launch you will be a fool since the price will come down by 30% within a month or so
        cheap quality phones ,Chinese phone like xioami are far better android phones
        only marketing tatics and paid online positive remarks keep Samsung going

              django, 09 Jul 2014wrong reply to the post you quoted.. it says no to samsung It is clear that you did not understand the response so this is not for you but for everybody else.

              As I have never ever bought an iPhone and probably never will, I accept that the IP5S was the best selling phone even per the report.

              I have previously bought a flagship Samsung, as it has Bluetooth & microSD expansion.

              A phone that has these 2 features which is NOT on any iPhone means you can sync 2 phones without a computer.

              I can upgrade across brands without a USB cable just one example.

              If iPhones as is offer features you want then there is no reason to change just upgrade within the Apple range
              and with iPhones being the phone of choice.

              @ zaidmalik91 it is comments like these that make no sense, Apple & Samsung phones are almost opposites and he bought not one but two Samsungs on recommendations
              NOT on Gsmarena review research before purchase

              Especially S2 as I had that phone, it did NOT lag as 1.2GHz Dual Core is only 100 MHz slower than the 1.3GHz of the IP5S

                I no longer load songs into devices... its slow and irritating to pick what choices you want.

                And with some network knowledge and port forwarding.. you can have access to all songs on the go. (And yes, no need cloud).

                Now i am not limited to OS or Devices. Thou, iPhone perform best on streaming client/server Apps.

                      This is absolute bullshit. Sony Z2 and HtC one and m8 dont even show up. Also I have seen that this is a regular practice by apple before the release of their phone every year.

                            iphone has more functionality then you can think. if you dig deep under settings you can discover things that Android rely on apps but all those comes built in IOS. one simple and much needy functions is called speak out which is for people who cannot read but can understand texts. in android you have to copy an sms, open speaks out app if you know of its existence and then paste and click on speak. two many steps on android, only one step on IOS

                              Striker, 08 Jul 2014Good news and no surprise for the iPhone. I still wonder wh... moreFor me I checked out the specs of the iPhone and found the device was not for me, I needed microSD expansion.

                              Even if I were younger and had an iPhone bought for me because there was no microSD would have made using an iPhone awkward

                              So with iPhones being the must have phone like all things if NO problems you stick with what you know Apple and iTunes

                              Android over IOS is the criteria for me after I researched phone choice is individual choice and you would expect if Apple is selected as tha must have phone and inertia then it will continue.

                              As Android ad free apps mean Ios does have a feature which is an inconvenience, but this alone is not enough to make me switch.

                              The fact is the based on this report (REGION UNKNOWN)states that the IP5S was the number one seller.

                              These sale numbers have no affect me using my Android

                                        Just in case you still don't believe me despite all the evidence I've brought, including even from Android sources, here is Samsung themselves telling us all that their sales are poor:

                                        Knowing Samsung fanboys, they may even say that Samsung is lying lol.
