Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are registering weaker sales than expected

Samsung Galaxy Edge S6

Samsung Galaxy S6 si Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 were presented and promoted with great fanfare by the Korean company Samsung, and according to the latest data from South Korea, the home country of Samsung, it seems that the devices did not attract the interest of a very large number of people, despite a large number of pre-orders made by operators.

I also told you at the weekend that Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge do not generate big sales in South Korea, and now a new local publication claims that both terminals they generated sales of only 200.000 units in the first 10 days of availability on the market, 100.000 units less than the total of pre-orders made by operators at Samsung for terminals.

These pre-orders are not made by customers but by operators with a view to further sales to customers, but it seems that they expected greater interest from consumers, but it seems that this did not happen and Samsung Galaxy S6 si Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 they didn't have a successful start in the country, which matters a lot for the people from Samsung.

South Korea's No. 1 tech giant had sold a little over 200,000 units of the two smartphones here as of Sunday since their launch on April 10, sharply falling short of the 300,000 preorders, according to the data, indicating that earlier sales forecasts may be exaggerated . While mobile carriers' subsidies for purchasing the two smartphones were no more than 210,000 won (US$193.9) upon release, the carriers expanded the amount over the previous weekend, apparently reflecting the sluggish sales. The country's maximum legal ceiling for handset subsidy currently stands at 330,000 won.

The main problem presented for the not so amazing sales of Samsung Galaxy S6 si Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 it seems to be due to the low subsidies applied by mobile phone operators in South Korea, the law preventing them from reducing the prices of the terminals by more than about 250 dollars, but the operators initially offered subsidies of only 193 dollars, these increasing in the previous weekend.

Given that before the launch of Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, figures of 20 million pre-orders were announced made by mobile operators around the world for the two terminals, what we see now proves that Samsung does not seem to have succeeded in convincing users that it is worth buying its new smartphones which, in some cases, cost more than iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
