Samsung GALAXY S9 is a resounding failure, those from Samsung given the streak and the $5 billion drop in mobile revenue in Q2 2018 compared to Q2 2017. Samsung fans won't admit it, but the Samsung GALAXY S9 is a failure because it's simply thought of as a iPhone from the S series, without major news, and Samsung never understood that it is not "cool" enough to sell as well as Apple.
The Samsung GALAXY S9 is a failure in sales, less than 19.2 million units were sold between March and June, as much as the Samsung GALAXY S8 series recorded last year, although it was launched a month later. The Samsung GALAXY S9 not only has worse sales than the Samsung GALAXY S8, although it had an extra month on the market, but they are also worse than those of the Samsung GALAXY S7 or Samsung GALAXY S6 series, and this is what happens when try to be like Apple.
Samsung GALAXY S9: How LOW are the Sales
Samsung GALAXY S9 and Samsung GALAXY S9 Plus were sold between March and June in fewer iPhone X units in just almost two months, which can be called a resounding failure by anyone who sees the situation clearly. If we were to add the iPhone X sales in Q1 2018, estimated at 12.5 - 19 million units, then the entire Samsung GALAXY S9 series recorded sales that were halved compared to a single Apple phone, in about the same period of availability on the market.
"Samsung is seeking last-minute measures to boost sales of the new phones after recording lower-than-expected sales of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ phones in the first half of the year. According to industry estimates tallied by major parts suppliers, shipments of the flagship models had reached less than 19.2 million units for the period between March and June."
The Samsung GALAXY S9 is not a bad phone, the Samsung GALAXY S9 Plus being even better, but the people from Samsung misjudged things, and if they saw that Apple was successful with a reheated soup 3 years in a row, they thought they could do same thing. Well, in reality only Apple can do this because it has a much more loyal customer base than those who should have bought the Samsung GALAXY S9, but also because it has much better marketing.
