Samsung Galaxy S4 sales beat Apple iPhone 5 in US: Report

[mmadhankumar]

Samsung Galaxy S4 seems to be giving tough competition to Apple iPhone 5 on its home turf. Data collected by Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley shows that the South Korean manufacturer's new flagship smartphone was the top-selling phone on three out of four US telecom operators.

Samsung Galaxy S4 was launched in the US market from April 26. In May 2013, it was the highest selling smartphone on Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, while iPhone 5 was the biggest hit for AT&T. In April, on the other hand, iPhone 5 was the top seller on all four networks, while Galaxy S4 took the second spot on AT&T and Sprint.

The highly acclaimed HTC One was the third highest seller in the US in May for AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, while Nokia Lumia 928 took that spot on Verizon.

Samsung became the top vendor of smartphones in the US in May 2013, followed by Apple, HTC and Nokia, as per the research report.

Walkley's research is based on store surveys and does not include unit sales.

In his research note, Walkley says, "We believe dominant sales of the S4 versus other Android smartphones was driven by Samsung's extremely strong Galaxy consumer brand and well-executed marketing campaign, as our surveys indicated store representatives often recommended the HTC One ahead of the Galaxy S4."
