Samsung content with initial Galaxy S7 sales figures

Exactly how much of a success the launch of the Galaxy S7 is proving to be will have to wait until Samsung's latest financial results are made public. Nonetheless, Samsung's new Mobile CEO Koh Dong-jin expressed satisfaction to reporters in South Korea when questioned on the sales of the Galaxy S7. He said that initial sales "look good", but declined to mention any figures or numbers.

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S7 began on March 11 and have already exceeded sales expectations in key markets like China, Europe, and India. The numbers for Europe are reportedly as high as 250 percent over initial pre-orders of the Galaxy S6. Pre-orders in China have also reportedly exceeded 10 million.
