According to industry sources, the Galaxy S6 Edge is selling exceptionally well. So well in fact that the current supply is unlikely to meet the demand at the moment. With the device up for pre-order for a few weeks and going on-sale officially in over 20 countries, over a week ago, sources are saying the S6 Edge accounts for 50 percent of shipments worldwide, about 20-30 percent higher than predicted. An industry insider had this to say:
“While we cannot reveal the exact sales figure, the domestic sales volume over past three days is an all-time high (among previous Galaxy models),” they said.
In South Korea alone, the S6 and S6 Edge had 300,000 pre-orders, blowing away any sales of previous Galaxy flagships.
Insiders say the S6 Edge will be tough to stock at least for the next month, and market waters attribute the device’s popularity to its design and features.
Both the S6 and S6 Edge have received rave reviews so far and the built-in wireless charging is something consumers are excited for.
Coming off of last year’s low sales, this is certainly good news for Samsung, especially considering that Apple is edging in on the Korean company’s dominance.
