Samsung was dealing with quite a bit of pressure with the launch of the Galaxy S6 this year. Sales for their previous two flagship Galaxy S devices had waned, with the Galaxy S5 failing to hit its internal targets for the company over the course of 2014. With that in mind, Samsung had to launch a fantastic device in 2015 that would solidify why they were the top dog in the Android market.
For the most part, they did. The Galaxy S6 was met with nearly universal praise (our own review commended the fantastic screen, amazing camera, and solid design of the device) while the crazy counterpart device, the Galaxy S6 Edge, has done far better than anyone anticipated. So while everything seems great, Samsung hasn’t publicly announced how well their current flagship is selling.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a concrete number. What we do have, however, is an unnamed Samsung executive saying that the GS6 is performing very well, and actually a little better than Samsung imagined. This same also believes that the GS6 should surpass the GS5, and while it’s not always an impressive feat to out-do a device that you considered a failure, improvement is always a good thing.
This commentary does come from an exec at Samsung, so obviously it should be taken with a grain of salt. But with Samsung’s bold marketing and serious commitment towards making a great phone, I think we should all expect the S6 (and the S6 Edge!) to have a pretty solid 2015.
