In his crystal ball, an analyst sees sales of Galaxy S8 lower than that of the S7


Ming-Chi Kuo, famous analyst, usually reliable when it comes to Apple, makes a prediction on sales of Galaxy S8, and according to him, they will be lower than the S7.


Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made himself famous for his predictions about Apple. However, it is Samsung that we are discussing today, the analyst analyzes and announces that sales of the S8 will be lower in the fiscal year 2017 than those of the S7 in its time, Fiscal year 2016.

Three reasons for this decline in sales by man: First, the Galaxy S7 was the only true flagship of the firm, which made him lose its presence on the market. Why not, but we can also argue that in the absence of Note 7, the expectation of a new smartphone is even greater than usual. Second reason: the Galaxy S8 " lack of sales argument, with the exception of the screen ". When one sees what Apple proposes as novelties on its model xS, it seems to us sufficient.

The man adds by the same opportunity that he will face increased competition from the iPhone OLED (aka Edition). The last reason is mathematical, the later arrival of the S8 shortens the fiscal year by one month, thus necessarily leaving less time to sell terminals. Thus the analyst predicts between 40 and 45 million units distributed against 52 for the S7. The reasoning seems to us rather doubtful, but we are not analysts.
