Samsung Galaxy S3

Little over one month ago,the Samsung Galaxy S3 has hit the market. It was no surprise that it gained only positive reviews from specialists, becoming in such little time a must have for many smartphone enthusiasts. The Samung Galaxy S3 demand managed to overcome its producers production capability very little after the official release date on June 21. Samsung’s newest smartphone was available for buying from 5 major United States carries ( AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular) by the 12th of July.  If there is any Android powered smartphone that we can state it came close to compete with Apple iPhone up to this day, it would defenetly be the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Looking at these success facts, there is no surprise that companies like Chitika Insights performed a study in order to find out how exactly is the new Samsung Galaxy S3 performing compared with its older brothers. In order to interpret the study results, the company conducted a user agent analysis on nearly hundred of millions of advertisement impressions, on a six-week interval that stretched between June 18 and August 5. Looking at the chart below you can clearly observe the rise in web traffic coming from the Samsung Galaxy S3 since the day it was released to the public.

Now, if we analyze the data, we can see that the Samsung Galaxy S3 usage has increased constantly since it was first presented to the public in June, already accounting for about 12% of all the Samsung smartphone web utilization. Another interesting fact is that the Galaxy S3 has rapidly overtaken the Galaxy Nexus and it is right behind older Samsung Galaxy S devices. Although the web usage growth is not quite as steep as the sales, the guys at Chitika are expecting a linear with holiday spikes  growth. Bottom line, continuous growth is also needed by Samsung and major smartphone producers but the ultimate goal would be competing with iPhone or even beating it. From Chitika point of view, at the end of 2012 the Galaxy S3 will be on top of all Android powered devices when it comes to sales. Many folks are bewitched by the Samsung Galaxy S 3 impressive specs that include a 1280×720 Super AMOLED screen, 2GB of random access memory and generous 21000mAh battery that  far outweigh the iPhone 4S’s. But despite those big differences the Apple iPhone remains very popular , as you can see in the usage shares presented below that compare the two rivals.

As you can see, despite its huge sales, Samsung is still very far behind Apple when it comes to mobile phone internet usage. Personally I am very curious how will this chart will look like  after the new iPhone 5  will be released. What is your opinion?
