Declining sales for the Galaxy S4, Samsung thinks of the early retirement of the Galaxy S3

Declining sales for the Galaxy S4, Samsung thinks of the early retirement of the Galaxy S3

The first thing we did, as soon as Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S4(Samsung Galaxy S4-Samsung Galaxy S3) to the whole world, was to write an editorial in which we were wondering for what reasons a user would have to put aside their Galaxy S3 to pass to the successor, very similar in both characteristics and aesthetically.(Samsung galaxy s4, Samsung galaxy s3) Apparently we were not the only ones who have experienced a certain similarity between the Galaxy and Galaxy S3 S4 because the numbers are giving wrong to South Korean s0ciety: during the past week some analysts have begun to argue that the sales forecast on Samsung Galaxy S4 were too optimistic(Samsung galaxy s4, Samsung galaxy s3).
Today we are here to confirm this thesis: the sales are not going as planned.According ETNews , the mobile division of Samsung has seen lower the order of components for the Samsung Galaxy S4(Samsung galaxy s4, Samsung galaxy s3) of well-to 6.5 million units for the month of July, a decline from 10 million in April and 12.2 million in May.

A few weeks ago, Samsung had shown very confident in the prospects related to the Galaxy S4. The company has managed to sell 4 million units over the weekend of the launch of the product until it reaches a total of 10 million shipments in 26 days after its launch. But as the existing initial request has stabilized, sales began to slow to a pace unexpected and very worrying, inventories began to pile up!

The total monthly orders of the Samsung Galaxy S4(Samsung galaxy s4, Samsung galaxy s3) fell by 10-15% . As I said at the beginning of article, Samsung has realized that the “problem” is due to the Samsung Galaxy S3, which is considering the withdrawal from the market earlier than expected . Can be a smart move since, for the average person, between Galaxy S3 and S4 Galaxy there is no difference. On the other hand, however, it would be a very risky choice: I personally think that society should reflect on the mistakes made. What mistakes? As I said long ago, the Samsung Galaxy S4 does not have anything innovative but it seems simply a version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 slightly improved in some component.

Let me be clear, Samsung is not in difficulty, but all this must sound like an alarm bell: we have often criticized Apple for its “do not innovate” in recent years and we hope that Samsung does not commit the same mistakes.
