iPhone 5 made Samsung sell more Galaxy S III

According to data from Localytics, sales of the Samsung Galaxy S III have exploded in recent weeks. The report shows that sales growth was directly influenced by the public's frustration with the iPhone 5 and the marketing generated by the trial between Samsung and Apple.

Samsung would have experienced a strong 16% growth in the week of the verdict in favor of Apple, when compared to only 8% in the previous week. After the launch of the iPhone 5, the growth of the S III again jumped to 15%, maintaining a growth of 14% the following week.

"Press coverage has suggested that Samsung's devices are sufficiently similar to iPhones and has worked as an option for many consumers," said the research firm.
