Samsung will lower the price of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge

We carried out the analysis of the Galaxy S6 edge last week and we found a great smartphone, but One of its handicaps is the high price at which Samsung has launched it on the market.. € 849 for the edge version is something prohibitive for many users, even if they want to buy it and wish to have it at some point. It has great hardware, a great design and that curved screen identifies it as a different terminal than what is on the market, saving the Galaxy Note 4.

Today the company has shown the financial results and again has marked another drop in profits with 4 percent and in its mobile division, has risen to $ 2.400 billion from $ 3.800 billion in the same quarter last year. This has caused it to fall short of its objectives and the earnings improvements have been a bit "marginal" in the expected sales of its flagship devices. To counteract these numbers, their plans go through adjusting the price of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge and what would be the debut of new premium models.

Lowering the price of the S6 and S6 edge

Samsung also comments on how its mobile division is going through a difficult environment where it is difficult to maintain sales of high-end devices or what their flagships would be. Aside from lowering the price of the S6 and S6 edge, their other plan is to launch new low and mid-range devices.

While the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge have had a fairly positive reception, It seems that it has not reached the expectations of Samsung with greater success according to the reviews and positive criticisms received.

It is not that they do not make high quality phones, but it is the state of the market in which it is difficult to stand out if you do not launch a device that really fits the needs of users today. These right now go through having a smartphone that complies on CPU, RAM and GPU, has a nice sleek design and then a camera that really complies in all possible circumstances. Of course, a good price is vital, since not all users want a chip with all the cores on the planet, since with a quad-core you can use all the apps, video games or multimedia content on your smartphone.

One of the examples of a smartphone that fulfills what has been said so far is the Moto X Play. It has everything you need for a normal user today and on top of it a high quality camera. So Samsung is going to have to change course if it wants to rectify those figures that seem to be continuous.

A major event on August 13

The expected releases for August 13 will not change much either. With a Galaxy S6 edge plus and the new Galaxy Note 5, which perhaps the latter if it is the high-end that continues to keep Samsung during this year with important figures.

Another of the deductions made about Samsung's problem in the sales of the Galaxy S6 edge, is that could not predict the high demand for this smartphone, so if it had adjusted the price at its launch, surely the figures released today would have been a warmer color for the objectives of the Korean manufacturer.

Samsung is going to have to do something, since the market is changing and the actors that are now on the scene are a few with different approaches and products that they are taking away that domination he treasured a few years ago.
