Into The Samsung Galaxy Gear is a flop, with sales well below expectations initial market observers have had. This was revealed in a new report shared by the Business Korea, according to South Korea’s home where the current would have distributed so far less than 50,000 units, and would be proceeding with a sales pace of only 800-900 units per day.

Into If confirmed, it would be an incredibly small number especially for a giant like Samsung, accustomed to much higher numbers in the hi-tech world. This suggests that the smartwatch failed to earn a considerable interest in the mass market, despite the strong hype that sparked the audience before the launch and the strong marketing push on the front made by Samsung.

Into The Galaxy Gear has been widely panned by critics and the public due to different factors , including a price considered excessive by many (300 dollars), the limited functionality and a very low life battery, which provides a range equal to one day. In addition, the device had initially compatibility severely limited to only Samsung Galaxy Note 3, until a few weeks ago it was not also added support to the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2.

Into Previous Reports have also suggested that a customer in three were reported in the Galaxy Gear store bought and that would have given rise to concerns on the part of the producer, which would have asked its distributors to investigate the causes that led buyers to return the device.

Sales below the 50,000 units, however, represent a clear flop and this may explain why Samsung has not yet released any information about selling your watch smart. The company has not yet confirmed, however, those who currently remain rumors.

Update : Samsung has just provided a rebuttal to rumors published by the Business Korea. The company said that 50,000 units in question were distributed only in South Korea, while globally it has sold 800,000 units . Samsung says that sales of the Galaxy Gear have been better than their expectations and that it plans to achieve an important objective in this sense, thanks to the upcoming holiday season. Currently, the group says that their device has become smartwatch the world’s most popular .
