It's funny how people said s5 was a failure because of plastic but premium s6 sold the same amount and premium s7 barely did better. One thing for sure S8 with higher pricing than its predecessors and just after the note 7 situation will not be selling much more than s7.

As a result it is much more pleasing to my eye than boring rows and columns of icons of a design I find personally ugly. In addition, it means my phones are more efficient and faster to use.

        all manufacturers learnt that 'mistake'... when people fall in love and feels satisfied, they refuse to change, which means newer models can't sell... that's why some old and reliable models are still being used till today...

        so manufacturing something that makes people change is the way to go...

          Anonymous, 09 Jan 2017That means you've never used a samsung phone on CM or AOSP.If you think that's smooth, it means you've never used a Windows 10 phone in the past 6 months or an iPhone. Let's face it: Android is never going to be as fast or as smooth or as secure or as easy to use or as visually pleasing as Windows or iOS.

Now even J1 is super smooth and better than any 2013 - 2014 flagship! So 60 even 45 millions is very very difficult target.

                                        AnonD-594761, 09 Jan 2017so s4 was the best for Samsung Yed, but only because Galaxy had a good name recognition after S3...S4 started to ruin that...S5 and s6 was missed and s7 was finally something better, but too expensive...
                                        I don't think Samsung will catch this number... At least not with this prices (not in first year and a half).
                                        This phone may be good, but Sammy is loosing it with overpricing, and more and more buyers now are aware that Samsung is bot only Android out there... Even in US, where typical choice was iPhone or Galaxy (all Android ware under thtat name), buyers now look more to China... And there are Google own Pixel.
                                        Samsung is to experience loosing market share soon.
                                        If Sammy made up to 50M, they should be super happy
