Samsung PINK:SSNLF introduces Galaxy Grand to take on the Apple Inc. NASDAQ:AAPL iPhone 5

AAPL

Samsung has a small army of SmartPhones that have been built to take on the Apple Inc. NASDAQ:AAPL iPhone. The Galaxy S III has posted impressive sales worldwide.

Now Samsung is releasing an even better product, the Galaxy Grand. The South Korean company says it is “an ideal SmartPhone for users with fast-paced mobile lifestyles who demand more from their phone.”

Apple is now under siege, investors are questioning its future prospects.

Apple MO is this; it sells 1 Flagship product both in the SmartPhone and tablet markets. Older versions are available, but there is only 1 iPhone 5. so Apple can easily promote its features, thus enhancing the powerful Apple brand.

The Galaxy Grand has a number of features that many buyers will not use, or even understand IMO. The same with the iPhone, but there is just 1 model, which limits user feature options.

The new Galaxy Grand comes with a an 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a 5.0 display, a camera with zero shutter-lag and ultra-quick camera start-up, a system that allows users to automatically dial a call by raising the device up to the ear, “Popup Video” that allows users to watch video in a pop-up window anywhere on the screen while running other tasks, “S Voice” that lets users control the phone using their voices and “AllShare Play” that lets owners share content across Samsung devices using a single account.

The iPhone has features that match the most advanced of the Galaxy Grand. An in some cases, the Galaxy S III and Galaxy II do too.

Apple made the decision early on not to simultaneously market several lines of its newest iPhones at the same time.

Instead, it has 1 product to market with very few variations other than that it comes in Black and White with three GB sizes. And, all look the same. One iPhone, one message about the power of the device, one basic choice for consumers no more. That POV has worked so far.
