Samsung Galaxy S9 was launched last month by the Samsung company for customers all over the world, but immediately after the opening of pre-orders it was announced that they would be 30% lower than those for the Samsung Galaxy S8. Those from Samsung said that over a million people tested the new Samsung Galaxy S9 in stores in South Korea, but even so, sales would be far below the Korean company's expectations.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has other important problems announced by customers after the launch, and based on all these things, it seems that the production of the phones has been reduced by the Koreans in the factories. According to some information provided today by analysts, the Samsung Galaxy S9 production would have been reduced by the Samsung company from 40 million units to 36 million units, so a 10% reduction, in total.
Samsung Galaxy S9 has reduced production less than a month after the official launch, and if the information is true, then we are talking about a huge problem for Koreans with the new series of phones. If the Samsung Galaxy S9 had been sold in large quantities, then the chances that the production would have increased were much higher, but considering the way in which sales have evolved for the Korean phones, it seems that the effect is actually the opposite.
Samsung Galaxy S9 – the amazing announcement because of the problems
The Samsung Galaxy S9 brings a lot of news for Samsung fans, but few of them are really important and fully justify the increase in the sales price imposed by the Koreans. Part of the reasons why customers ignore the Samsung Galaxy S9 are based on the higher price charged by Samsung, the Korean company following Apple's strategy, which seems to have also been a failure.
"Apple's main rival, Samsung, is also seeing consumers push back on higher-priced smartphones. Supply chain checks suggest Samsung recently cut planned production of its flagship Galaxy S9 smartphone this year to 36 million units from 40 million."
The Samsung Galaxy S9 still contributes to strengthening the idea that premium phones must be more expensive, and until it is established that this strategy is a failure, more manufacturers will launch unjustifiably expensive phones. It is very likely that the phones of the other manufacturers will have the fate of the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy S9 if they will be as expensive, but here we, the consumers, win, because the strategies could be rethought.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is currently available for purchase in Romania, the Korean company launching the phone in the middle of last month, but it is hard to say what kind of success it had in our country. Having said that, the Samsung Galaxy S9 doesn't seem to be selling that great at the moment, and if the production has really dropped, then there will certainly be many other confirmations.
