Samsung Galaxy S6 was launched in a multitude of countries around the world, including South Korea, and a local publication wanted to find out how much interest Koreans have in the high-end smartphone launched by the at Samsung, the local company being the biggest seller of smartphones in the world for several fiscal quarters now, even though its profit and sales have dropped significantly. Although the Samsung Galaxy S6 is announced as a smartphone that will seriously increase Samsung's sales, in South Korea Samsung's partners did not have many customers willing to buy the device, in fact, they recommend buying the iPhone 6.
Neither the stores of the mobile phone operators nor the stores that sell mobile phones present the situation in a very good light for those from Samsung, they claim that Samsung Galaxy S6 si Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 they have good sales, the first having better sales than the Samsung Galaxy S5, but they do not come close to those of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The information is surprising considering that Samsung has intensively promoted the new terminals and the reviews published so far seem to be convincing enough to motivate customers to buy Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in stores, but in South Korea this does not seem to happen, for now.
We've had more customers come in thanks to the Galaxy S6, but no one has bought it yet. We have plenty of phones in stock, but we're only allowed to carry 10 of the Galaxy S6 Edge Gold. If it were me, I'd buy the iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 battery runs out quickly, and you also have to pay extra for the wireless charging pad. The response is better than with the Galaxy S5, but it's not as strong as the iPhone 6.
Among the explanations of sales below expectations for Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, there are battery autonomy problems presented by Samsung partners, but probably more important than that are the much smaller subsidies granted by mobile phone operators and Samsung partners for the two products. Considering that the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge cost more than iPhone 6 si 6 iPhone Plus, they also have smaller subsidies, more precisely mobile operators offer price discounts between 92 dollars and 212 dollars, much less compared to Apple smartphones which have discounts between 193 dollars and 258 dollars.
Apart from these, insufficient promotion and a mature smartphone market seem to be presented as reasons for the weak sales of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but surely the price is the motivating factor for many, and those from Samsung they started the story of the two new smartphones with a bang. Whether the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will be successful internationally remains to be seen, but it is clear that to beat the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, more is needed than what Samsung has offered so far.
