If you were in any doubt that the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones were hot commodities, those doubts should be banished with Samsung’s announcement that it expects sales of the handsets to go beyond the 70 million mark. That’s an awful lot of phones, even for Samsung.
Ahead of a weekly meeting at Samsung’s Seocho headquarters in southern Seoul, an unnamed executive said that “The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are drawing positive responses, and that he had no doubt that they will be the biggest selling Galaxy handset yet.” When asked about sales estimates, the executive replied that “We (Samsung) expect 70 million plus.”
Samsung executives would seem to be optimistic with comments such as “We’re back on track” and even the Vice-Chairman said that the “The Galaxy S6 should well. The first week looks impressive.” Echoing this, company officials reported that the initial stock of the two flagship handsets sold out within hours.
The past year has been troublesome for Samsung, having lost the crown of being the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer to its bitter rival, Apple. The Galaxy S5 didn’t set the world alight, instead it was criticised for being samey and uninspired. Samsung’s rethink in strategy began with the Note 4 and has continued with the release of the S6 and S6 Edge with their metal and glass designs. If you haven’t managed to get your hands on one, you can always download the Galaxy S6 Experience app to get an idea what the handset is all about. Is it too early to wonder what they have planned for the Galaxy Note 5?
