Samsung has been having a pretty rough time in China but that doesn’t mean the company will be abandoning the World’s largest market anytime soon. The flagship Galaxy S10 was announced in China on February 28 and went on sale on March 8. The cumulative number of orders for the Galaxy S10 in just 15 minutes after it went on sale exceeded the orders the Galaxy S8 got on its opening day sales last year. 
Counterpoint Research is attributed to have released a market data which gives us the idea that the S9’s opening day record wasn’t just a flash in the pan. The market data shows that the Galaxy S10 series sales from March to May 2019 have exceeded those of the Galaxy S9 in the same period.
In the second quarter, 16 million Galaxy S10 mobile phones were sold worldwide, up 12% from the S9 sales in the same period last year. Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is the most popular model, accounting for 42% of sales, followed by Samsung Galaxy S10, which accounted for 32% of sales. Samsung Galaxy S10e accounted for 22% of sales, while the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Edition accounted for just 4%. The trend isn’t expected to stop soon and we believe the Galaxy S10 could help Samsung seize more market share. At present, Samsung’s flagship mobile phone has a 25% market share, an increase of 3% YoY.
