When Samsung introduced the first Galaxy S phone, it wanted to show the world that it could compete with Apple AAPL. Now, in an effort to outperform the Cupertino, California-based tech giant, Samsung is slowly turning into a firm that resembles its competitor.
Trip Chowdhry, the Managing Director of Equity Research at Global Equities Research, interviewed somewhere around 50 people who attended the Galaxy S IV launch last night. His converged view is as follows:
Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs- "Samsung Galaxy S IV – Overhyped and Under Delivered."
- "Just an okay offering -- a mix of Samsung Galaxy Note II and Samsung S III."
- "Not innovative – Samsung is confused… What is an application and what is an operating system. [We are] expecting a mediocre customer acceptance."
- "If someone came from Blackberry BBRY, they loved [the] Samsung Galaxy S IV."
- "If someone is using [the] Galaxy S III, they see S IV [as] just a minor improvement."
- "If someone is using [the] Galaxy Note II, they like S IV, but will not upgrade as they had recently purchased [the] Note II."
- "If someone is using [the] iPhone, they see no wow factor in the S IV."
