The highly anticipated Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are
expecting to break last year’s initial number of Galaxy S6 units in the first
three months following its announcement.
A
Korean media outlet reports that Samsung is preparing to manufacturer a total
of 17.2 million Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge units by April of this year.
Samsung
is really hoping to break its previous record set by the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge
which sold roughly 15.8 million units in its first three months after launch
with the second most successful device title held by the Galaxy S4 selling just
over 15.2 million units in its initial sale period.
Also,
the company has reportedly changed its ratio of S7 and S7 edge where the S6 was
manufactured 4:1 with the S6 edge constantly in short supply. This time around,
Samsung wants to use a 6:4 ratio since it was not able to predict the roaring
demand that the S6 edge had last year.
Samsung
hopes the overwhelming reception to the Galaxy S7’s announcement this year at
MWC is indication to the S7 and S7 edge’s success and should break the S6’s
record for the first three months of sales.
