The strategist.media – 20 May 2015 - Korean news office Yonhap reports that it has taken a month of offers from the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge to achieve 10M. Moreover, Yonhap, a 'high-positioning Samsung authority', surprisingly affirmed this figure “for the first time”. In the attempt to positively colouring the situation an official said:
“The sales of the Galaxy S6 series have already surpassed 10 million.”
While the authority didn't name the accurate date the 10M imprint was passed, it would leave Samsung only seven months to offer the staying 60M units – a normal of 8.6M units for each month. Nevertheless, as per Gordon Kelly:
“...in reality this is desperately disappointing”.
Given the dispatch month dependably speaks to the greatest deals for any telephone, this is a totally unlikely rate to keep up. Particularly with the looming landing of different leads later in the year – including potential cannibalisation from the Galaxy Note 5 – and the September entry of the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
Maybe additionally concerning, then again, is the place this places the S6 ranges' deals verifiably. Strikingly the Galaxy S4 transported 10M units in 27 days while the abundantly condemned Galaxy S5 took 25 days to ship 10M units. Actually it was the absence of development from the Galaxy S5 that roused the radical reboot of the line found in the S6es.
Thus, for joint offers of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge to just pass 10M in a comparative time allotment to the S5 and S4 speaks to a deplorable return. This is especially valid for the less expensive Galaxy S6 given Samsung has officially affirmed interest for the Edge variation being suddenly high.
All of which suggests the conspicuous conversation starter: if Galaxy S6 Edge deals are performing above desires, exactly how awful are Galaxy S6 deals?
Resolved to get to the base of this Kelly deferred his post to get authority remarks from Samsung on the same. The organization requested 24 hours to react, however in the end picked not to scatter any of the negative meanings or right Yonhap's figures. Rather its formal proclamation to Kelly came as: "No Comment".
Relieving Circumstances?
All of which leaves spectators attempting to fill in the spaces: Could the out of the blue high Galaxy S6 Edge interest have brought about assembling disorder leaving Samsung stockpiling the Galaxy S6 while not being able to make enough from Galaxy S6 Edges?
Furthermore, has the diminished battery life and evacuation of expandable stockpiling in the new models demonstrated a greater negative in the client eyes’ than was normal? In fact, tragically, until Samsung explains we will never know. Which asks another critical inquiry: in what manner will this influence the Galaxy S7?
Interestingly, Gordon Kelly has a hypothesis:
In Kelly’s questioning tone:
“A Terrible Start Makes For A Better Future?”
However, he begins by weaving the facts together, whereby he proclaims that clearly the target for the highly praised 'Task Zero' Galaxy S6 arrangement reboot was not to discharge two telephones and accomplish comparables (if not decreased) all out deals consolidated than the standalone models of the last two eras. Kelly speculates further:
“Where Samsung goes from here remains to be seen.”
Enthusiasts of the more reasonable components lost from the new S6 territory will trust this rouses the organization to reintroduce them with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge one year from now.
On the other hand there is likewise time for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge deals to “pick up” sales rates. Particularly if Samsung starts its well known value cutting as the models age – however the 70M brag is without a doubt out of compass.
Kelly concludes by talking about his feelings, wherein he states:
“Whatever the long term outcome for the S6es, next year I’d suggest launching just a single ‘Galaxy S7’ with Edge display and removable aluminium back. This would streamline the range and tick the design, build quality and practicality boxes required in order to please all sides.”
