Samsung GALAXY S9 it's going to be a big problem for Samsung in 2018, and that's because sales of the Korean premium series aren't quite as high as hoped. Analysts believe that the weak sales of the Samsung GALAXY S9 worldwide will negatively affect Samsung's profit for 2018, something that happened after the Samsung GALAXY Note 7 was discontinued in 2016.
The Samsung GALAXY S9 would bring the first problems for Samsung right in the second fiscal quarter of 2018, with analysts saying that sales are so weak now that they will interrupt the steady increase in profit for the last 6 quarters. If the profit from Samsung will really be lower in T2 2018 compared to T1 2018, or T2 2017, then everyone will understand that the Samsung GALAXY S9 is a failure and that the series will not record better sales in the rest of 2018 .
Samsung GALAXY S9: BIG Problems Announced in 2018
Samsung GALAXY S9 has estimates from analysts that it will have the lowest sales among all premium phone series launched by Koreans since Samsung GALAXY S3. More precisely, the analysts say that the Samsung GALAXY S9 will record sales of only 30 million units in 2018, and this in the conditions in which Samsung GALAXY S8 20 million units were sold in just the first 4 months of availability in 2017.
"Samsung's operating profit is expected to drop in the second quarter of this year due to sluggish sales of the Galaxy S9 flagship smartphone. The tech giant has enjoyed growing operating profit for the last six consecutive quarters thanks to a boom in the semiconductor market. The S9 is expected to hit the lowest sales of any flagship model since the S3 with just 30 million units this year."
The Samsung GALAXY S9 is only part of the problem for those at Samsung, and that's because TV sales weren't as high as Koreans expected before World Championship 2018. Putting all this together, the Samsung GALAXY S9 is not proving to be the phone with which the Koreans hoped to break all sales records in 2018, but due to the lack of important changes for the model, customers are avoiding it.
