Galaxy S6 Release To Disturb The Sales Of iPhone 6

The new Galaxy S6 is being praised for its refreshing new design and powerful hardware. It is going to be released in major markets very soon. Analysts feel that the arrival of the Galaxy S6 will certainly disturb the sales of the iPhone 6.

The Apple iPhone 6 was released alongside its larger sibling, the iPhone 6 Plus phablet in September 2014. According to the Business Korea, the iPhone 6 duos salvaged highest sales in the last quarter of 2014. Since major flagships have not released after the release of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, the success streak is continuing in the first quarter of this year.

Morgan Stanley foresees that Apple will sell 54 million units in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2014, Apple recorded sales of 43.7 million units. Another analyst company, UBS and Barclays predicts that iPhone 6 sales will increase to 58 million, reports Business Korea.

The iPhone 6 killer, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be rolled out for purchase at the start of the April. The arrival of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge is expected to put a negative impact on the sales on iPhone 6. The early preview reports claim that the Galaxy S6 is expected to achieve impressive sales.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal that was published in Nov 23 last year, in comparison to the Galaxy S4 from 2013, the South Korean tech giant managed to sell 40 percent fewer units of Galaxy S5. Before the release of the 2014 flagship, Samsung felt that it will achieve impressive sales because of which it ordered 20 percent more units of Galaxy S5 than the Galaxy S4. However, it could not disturb the sales of iPhone 5S. Moreover, it was trumped by major flagships like LG G3 and HTC One M8.
