Samsung can't get its Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sold in Japan, not even removing the logo

It has been just over two months since the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge They were officially presented in Barcelona. The new members of the Galaxy S family are taking most markets by storm, although there is one exception: Japan.

According to a report on May 3 the sales of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge in Japan were in position 30 and 26 respectively. Too many terminals ahead, more if we take into account that they are novelties and now is when they would have more pull.

Samsung is choking on sales of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge in Japan

Samsung already smelled the problem so it decided remove your brand from all terminals oriented to the market of the Country of the Rising Sun. But from what we can see, it hasn't worked for them. Despite leaving only the Galaxy logo, sales are not going as they should.

The motives? The Rrecently frozen frozen relations between Japan and South Korea for different disagreements they have had regarding the treatment given by Japan to Koreans during the Second World War.

Some might think that it is because of the feeling of country that Japan has, but considering that the most sold terminal at the moment is the iPhone 6, made by Americans, it is very clear that the shots do not go there.

Of course, although in Japan things are not going too well, in other countries they are sweeping. For example In the UK both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are in the top 5 best-selling mobile phones, in Germany they rise to the top three and the volume of reservations made in China has been four times higher than that achieved with the Samsung Galaxy S5.
