Samsung Galaxy S8 has today announced the estimated "sales" figure for the last months, the company Strategy Analytics seems to be sure that the terminal was successful. We are talking here about the most likely sales of the Samsung Galaxy S8, or maybe just deliveries to partners, the way of expression suggesting that it would be the latter situation, in which case the actual sales would be much lower.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 would have generated "sales" of approximately 20 million units from April 21 until now, the 3 and a half months seeming to have been full of money for Samsung. The Samsung company announced at one point that it sold more than 10 million units of the Samsung Galaxy S8, but since then it has not boasted about anything, a sign that it is possible that the real sales figure may not have reached this threshold.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is presented today with a number of units delivered to partners that would have exceeded 20 million units, but the actual sales are a mystery, as usual. Moreover, the figures come from a company that analyzes the global smartphone market, so it only estimates the sales of the terminals, without seeing exact figures regarding the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S8 or other smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy S8 - "sales" figure announced
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has 15% more sales than the Samsung Galaxy S7 according to Samsung, so we know it's more popular than the old models. Of course, even last year Samsung did not provide figures regarding the sales of its products, so even now with the Samsung Galaxy S8 we do not know much, so we do not know exactly what kind of sales the smartphone actually generated, deliveries to partners not being a serious indicator.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 was launched to compete with the iPhone 7 in global markets, but it did not generate nearly as much sales as Apple's product. We know that series iPhone 7 generated sales of over 11 million units in the launch weekend alone, but the Samsung Galaxy S8 series needed over a month to generate 10 million units sold, or just delivered to partners.
"The shipments of Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S8 have surpassed the 20 million mark in July, according to market research firm Strategy Analytics. Data compiled by the research firm showed that the Korean tech giant shipped 278,800 units of the smartphone model per day since the official release on April 21, amounting to 19.8 million in the April-June period."
The Samsung Galaxy S8, like the rest of Samsung products, has sales presented in a total nebula because it is never clearly stated what the sales are, but only how many units have been delivered to partners. There are also rumors suggesting that many Samsung Galaxy S8 units were returned after purchase, but there is nothing concrete here, so the information should not be taken too seriously.
