Counterpoint Research expects Samsung Galaxy S6 sales to reach 50 million by year-end
Yesterday, an Oppenhiemer analyst claimed that the sales of Samsung’s flagship devices are imploding, making us think about the legitimacy of the report.

This was like a essay, but worthwhile reading. Great post and why I’m now hooked on Samsung and ditched the outdated iPhone even when its supposed to be “Latest and greatest”
Rocking Note 4 and S6 over here, likely to pick up Note 5.
