Samsung Galaxy S6, in the month of launch iPhone sells less than 6 … – Macity (Blog)

The Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S6 and S6 edge sell 6 million units in the month of debut, and are better than the Galaxy S4 and S5, but remains far from iPhone that is 6 to 7 months of launch. And the problems may not be finished …

Among the many doomsday predictions, even some of the press “home”, there are those who try to give hope Sales figures of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge: according to estimates by the analyst firm Counterpoint, two new smartphone Korean company would in fact sold 6 million units in the period from 10 to 30 in April, higher than sales data from the best his telephone ever in terms of sales (the Galaxy S4), and much higher than those of the Galaxy S5 (which, moreover, had been launched in 125 countries and not in 20) even if it is the same to put Counterpoint warning against excessive optimism.

Samsung continues to be far numbers Apple could sell 10 million of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to debut in three days. Above is far from even numbers added by Apple in the same period: in other words, notes the Wall Street Journal, the new flagship of Samsung in the full interest of the market, it sells less than competitor introduced seven months earlier. As he writes Peter Richardson, research director of the research firm, Samsung has several problems to solve in the future.

The first is the production capacity of the Galaxy S6 Edge on which it would be wrong forecasts. In fact Samsung planned to sell three for each Edge S6, and instead the demand is higher, this means more production than demand model S6 and fewer sales of the Edge. This might reduce the market for Galaxy S6 because “customers have no patience and the market offers many alternatives,” says Richardson.

A second major problem is that the new models do not take away sales to Apple, but other Samsung products. In fact, the Galaxy S6 erode market inside and not outside. For example, the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy are going very badly, with sales falling between 30 and 40%, “the results – says Richardson – is that the launch, relatively successful, the Galaxy S6 does not lead to growth rates Samsung’s market “

In any case Counterpoint think that if the problems will be solved:” The series Samsung Galaxy S6 has a chance to become the best selling smartphone, the iPhone 6 unseating Apple and get to 50 million units sold by year-end, “just above the lower fork estimated (45 million), but far from the most optimistic (60 million). But times to prove the company is now very close.
