Last year's Samsung flagship model is breaking records towards the end of its reign. According to the analytical company Strategic Analytics, the South Korean giant sold its 55 millionth unit by the end of this quarter Galaxy S7 to Galaxy S7 Edge (both models together). In the last quarter, from the beginning of January to the end of March, the company sold 7,2 million units of its last year's flagship models.
On great success Galaxy The S7 and S7 Edge were of course involved exploding Galaxy Notes 7, which was supposed to be the company's more current flagship, but due to faulty batteries, the company was forced to recall it from the market and recall it from customers. Galaxy The S7 and its larger curved brother were the company's only flagship models for the entire year. In addition Galaxy S7 enjoyed its privileged position in the market for quite a long time because Samsung did not introduce Galaxy S8 already in February at MWC, but not until the end of March.
According to Strategic Analytics, Samsung sold a combined 92,8 million phones last quarter, earning a 23% share of the global phone market. Smartphones took 86% of that number, which means Samsung sold 80 million units. The remaining 12,8 million units were taken care of by "dumb" push-button phones in which Samsung reigns.
