sales figures
Last year, the South Korean technology giant’s Galaxy S5 fell flat with consumers and sold just 12 million units in the three months after its April launch, compared with about 16 million units for the preceding flagship phone, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Already, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are on track to fare better, despite launching in just 20 countries, compared to the Galaxy S5’s initial 125-country rollout. Counterpoint said Tuesday that it still expects the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge to sell about 50 million units, in line with analysts’ expectations of between 45 million and 60 million units.
