Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge have sold 10 million units worldwide, an anonymous Samsung manager confirmed this to a South Korean publication last night. The information is not official yet, but Samsung will probably announce it in the following days, the two terminals recording this figure 40 days after the launch on the market, that is, from April 10.
Last year Samsung Galaxy S5 registered 11 million units sold in the same period, so considering that we are talking about two smartphones, the result is disappointing, because many would have expected the figure to be much higher. when Apple launched two new smartphones at the same time, it recorded an increase of over 50% in sales in the first 3 days after the launch, but Samsung recorded a regression here.
South Korea's top tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. said Tuesday its global shipments of the latest flagship Galaxy S6 models surpassed 10 million units in about one month after their release. "The sales of the Galaxy S6 series have already surpassed 10 million," a high-ranking Samsung official said. It marked the first time for the company to confirm the sales figure of the latest flagship.
Despite the lower-than-expected sales figures, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge still register good sales, the two smartphones being wanted by many people at the moment. Despite this, considering that the global smartphone market is saturated, it is expected that sales records for smartphones will remain a thing of the past.
Considering that the Samsung Galaxy S5 recorded 11 million sales in one month last year and then ended up with sales 40% below Samsung's expectations, there is a chance that the same thing will happen now. Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge had a good start, but it seems that they will not set sales records for those from Samsung, but we still have to see the first official information, if they will come.
