Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sales now expected to hit 70 million mark

A month after a CitiBank analyst predicted that Samsung may sell over 50 million units of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, the South Korean company has said that it is expecting sales of its latest devices to cross the 70 million mark.

"The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are drawing positive responses. I have no doubt that they will be the biggest-sellers in the Galaxy series ever," said a company executive. Echoing similar sentiments, Samsung's Vice Chairman Kwon Oh-hyun said, "The S6 should do well. The first week looks impressive."

This is certainly good news for Samsung, which lost its number one position in the global smartphone market to rival Apple in the last quarter of 2014.
