Well that took a while, but Samsung finally labeled the Galaxy S20 series a hit. And yes, there is a giant asterisk that overshadows that claim. Because this evaluation only refers to the performance of the flagship line as Samsung’s premium 5G offering of the year.
Yes, it is about 5G. Despite the fact that the next (or the current, at the moment) generation of mobile networks hasn’t exactly been on the rise this year. Not compared to initial expectations, at least.
Understandably, 5G wasn’t near the top of most people’s priorities for 2020, and neither was the Galaxy S20.
That alone is perfectly understandable. After all, in the face of the biggest health crisis of the last hundred years, most countries in the world thought that all those billions planned for 2020 network deployments could wait a little longer.
Meanwhile, Samsung is quite desperate for any positive conclusion this year that is unrelated to its notable contributions to pandemic relief efforts around the world. Probably because celebrating them is premature and hardly something that eases investors’ eternally trembling nerves.
That’s why today, Samsung took another opportunity to point its figurative finger at a Strategy Analytics report from two months ago indicating that the Galaxy S20 range was the best-selling line of 5G-ready smartphones in the first half of this year. damned.
Never mind the fact that your overall sales have already been labeled a failure in its most crucial period. It would be the first weeks after its launch. As for how well the Galaxy S20 range kept up its momentum, look no further than the fact that Samsung released another high-end smartphone later this year for an answer to that question. Not to mention the fact that its successors are now being released to the market as well.
