Samsung Galaxy S6 Sales Will Surpass S5, But Not Record Breaking.

By Arianna Vall

Samsung unveiled the beautifully designed Galaxy S6 on March 1, 2015 in Barcelona Spain. This is the first ever all around  gorilla glass with aluminum frame smartphone that Samsung has produced.  If you hold the phone on your hands, feel it, and play with it, you immediately know this is one solid and beautiful smartphone. I love the Galaxy S6 Edge, and that is the one I am going to get. Too bad the phone does not come in hot pink natively. Navigating through the apps and screens is buttery smooth. I have never seen a smartphone where your web pages load so fast! I mean snappy fast. The phone has a ton of features, and the one I love most  is the fact you can program the phone to display different notification colors for up to 5 contacts, so you know who is calling you before you answer the call. The 16 Megapixel Camera has been improved.  We tested the camera in the dark areas or areas with very low light, and the pictures were gorgeous. I love fast, snappy, jazzy cameras on the smartphones where you don't have to configure much to take capture a decent looking picture, and the Galaxy 6's camera is all that. I will be publishing some photos when I get my Galaxy S6 Edge in April.

On the other hand, some die-hard Samsung fans would be disappointed about the Galaxy S6 where you can no longer swap the battery or insert your own micro-sd card to expand the storage capacity. After all, among other things these two features were some of the core favorites for the Galaxy  flagship fans. For this reason the Samsung fans that preferred the Galaxy line up over competition such as iPhone may look for other alternatives when their contract is up this summer.

While Samsung may  profit handsomely from the the sale of Galaxy S6,  I can't imaging it would be record breaking. One SMART thing  that Samsung can do now is to keep the prices low (wishful thinking). I am not a talented sales person, but a common sense can tell Samsung, in order the beat iPhone 6 sales, keep the Galaxy S6 prices low. You will have a flock of people buying your product at competitive prices, and will put Apple on the edge. I want the Galaxy S6 to be a great success, and I would imagine it will be.

I believe the Galaxy S6 will be the most handsome and powerful smartphone on the market when it is goes on sale in April. It will sell like hot cakes when the pre-orders begin, but Samsung needs to think hard how to bounce back from the weaker sale of Galaxy S5. The design change for the Galaxy flagship was long overdue, but the high price tag might create some sales challenge for Samsung.
