Samsung GALAXY S20 has poor sales due to the new Coronavirus, or at least that's what a representative of a telecommunications operator, together with analysts of the telecommunications market, from South Korea says. There, Samsung GALAXY S20 sales started earlier than in the rest of the world, as it usually happens, and the Coronavirus, and apparently the reduction of subsidies for phones, substantially affected the sales of the new series of phones.
Samsung GALAXY S20 would have sales 50% lower than those recorded by the series launched at the beginning of last year, and the difference is huge if we think that the phones are really worth the money. Despite the new features that the Samsung GALAXY S20 series has, unfortunately, customers are kept away from the series because of the Coronavirus, as well as lower subsidies, but the bigger problem is that people no longer go to stores to test the phone.
Samsung GALAXY S20: very LOW sales due to the Coronavirus
Samsung GALAXY S20 had an exceptional measure taken by Samsung due to the Coronavirus, the company not being able to open test areas for the phone in South Korea, so it sent units home to interested customers. Apparently, this strategy was not successful either, so the sales that the Samsung GALAXY S20 records are far below expectations, and this should bring discounts for the phones in the series quite quickly.
"Sales of Galaxy S20 smartphones from Samsung Electronics Co. were weak on the first day, 50 percent lower than their predecessors, amid the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. The Galaxy S10 series sold 140.000 units on its first day, while the Galaxy Note 10 smartphones shifted 220.000 units when they were launched in August.”
Samsung GALAXY S20 sold 70.800 units on the day of its release in South Korea, in time the S10 series sold 140.000 units, and the Note 10 sold 220.000 units. The prices for the Samsung GALAXY S20 series start from 1050 dollars in South Korea, so they are expensive, and if the world can't test them physically, and doesn't have big subsidies, it's normal for sales to be lower than normal, but the decrease is surprising.
Samsung GALAXY S20 it is most likely suffering from similar problems in other areas of Asia where the Coronavirus has increased activity, and as the virus has reached Europe and is scaring the world, it is possible that sales will be low here as well.
