Who doesn’t love the jet black iPhone 7, right? It’s shiny, beautiful, and oh, so desirable! Who wouldn’t be attracted towards it.
Turns out Samsung also finds the jet black iPhone 7 irresistible. And believing that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they have ripped off the Jet Black color for their handset!
According to Weibo – the Chinese micro-blogging website that got hold of these pics – Samsung is thinking of calling it “glossy black.”
Changing the phone’s color is a good marketing strategy, one that has already been tried and tested by Samsung. Recently, it released a “coral blue” color for the Edge S7, a phone that was also struggling to find a footing in the market. And now reports estimate that the new color variant is selling about 15,000 units a day!
So will this new “glossy black” be able to recreate similar magic? And sales?
From what we can see, the color looks just as gorgeous on the S7 as it looked on the iPhone 7! There’s an ancient, timeless charm about pure black that draws people to it. It has certainly managed to woo me and it might do Samsung a world of good too!
But for now, the entire world is pointing fingers at Samsung, saying, “Shame, shame, puppy shame!”
