The Counterpoint Research Institute has unveiled the list of 10 best-selling smartphones in April 2015 . A doubly interesting ranking since it is precisely at this time that the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge made their arrival on the market. Are they the first in the list? Well no because they arrive respectively in the third and fourth place while the iPhone 6 and iPhone More launched last September, still occupy the first two.
Galaxy S6 vs. iPhone 6.
Although they only happen behind the two latest gem from Apple, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge would still recorded sales exceeding those of the Galaxy S5 , at its launch last year. Samsung has not communicated any figures, however, according Counterpoint, their common sales no less than 6 million units only represent for the month of April.
They are therefore both Android smartphones sold in the most April 2015. Moreover, this performance remains to emphasize when we know they are out in 20 countries, the date of their initial launch, against 125 for the Galaxy S5, last year. In this regard, the director of research at Counterpoint, Tom Kang, said:
Considering that fewer countries were part of the initial launch, deployment was slower and the marketing budget lower than for the Galaxy S5, we can consider that the performance is better.
For comparison, the last two jewels of Korean represent 21% of total sales of Samsung against 16% for the S5, last year. Furthermore, although the conventional model is best sold Counterpoint insists that the curved release more interested and would have recorded better sales if Samsung did not deal with supply problems.
For their part, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus recorded sales 51% higher than the iPhone 5S and 5C in April 2014. However, Samsung last two flagships could eventually surpass but only if the Korean manages to solve its production problems in a timely manner. Meanwhile, the two S6 continue to cannibalize sales of Android smartphones, including the Galaxy Note 4 and the A series that fell 30% and 40% in April.
