You might feel that the Samsung exec is humble and polite after all. But it is true that Samsung dominates the global smartphone market include the China as well. Seems like Apple needs more innovations to turn the situation around.

Samsung Galaxy S3 is the Android king to-date because its sales were the highest among Android devices. On the other hand, the LG Optimus G is the flagship of LG. The sales hit 1 million mark recently. When comparing the sales of Samsung Galaxy S3 and LG Optimus G, the LG Optimus G is at least 20 times lesser than the Samsung Galaxy S3. The LG Optimus G isn't the real competitor to the Android.

In order to change the situation, LG hopes to change the situation by releasing its upcoming flagship before the launch of Samsung Galaxy S4. So, the launch date of LG Optimus G Pro could be one week before the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4. Of course we are not sure how well the LG Optimus G Pro could perform. But at least LG was boosted by the sales of LG Nexus 4 that sold out in many regions. 

Since the launch dates of both devices are near, maybe you should wait until both devices are officially launching before making any decision. LG Optimus G Pro or Samsung Galaxy S4? Your choice!
