The "difficult situation" brought on by record-breaking opening weekend sales of Apple's new, larger iPhones has prompted arch-rival Samsung to both speed up the release of its Galaxy Note 4 as well as slash the phablet's list price, a company official publicly said this week.
"The positive reaction from consumers to those two Apple devices prompted us to launch the Note 4 earlier than previously scheduled," a Samsung marketing executive said, according to the Korea Times. "Samsung will be aggressive in promoting the Note 4 as it's true that we are being challenged and pressured amid a difficult situation."
Samsung will now rush its Galaxy Note 4 into consumers' hands this Friday in South Korea and China. It will then debut in the U.S. on Oct. 17.
Unfortunately this phone is not going to be successful for Samsung (and I'm a big fan) cuz iPhones are dominating and are really hard to beat; but good luck to Samsung with the Galaxy S6 in the future.. It has to be ground-breaking and incredible if they really have the passion to stay on top of the game and dominate again. Good luck to all of'em.
