The debut of LG’s latest flagship, the LG G6, has garnered an impressive start in terms of sales figures. The device was released in South Korea on March 10th, with around 20,000 units sold on the launch day. Additionally, pre-orders for the G6 were robust, with 40,000 units booked in the initial four days.
South Korea Phone: 20,000 LG G6 Units Sold on Launch Day – Overview
LG G6 is surpassing its predecessor, the LG G5, which only managed to sell 15,000 units on its first day. The modular design concept implemented in the LG G5 was not embraced by consumers, leading LG to abandon this approach with the G6. As the launch of the LG G6 coincided with the presidential impeachment proceedings in South Korea, the hype surrounding the smartphone’s release was somewhat overshadowed.
LG has strategically aimed to launch its flagship earlier in the market to capitalize on Samsung’s absence before the launch of the Galaxy S8 on April 28th. This gap of over six weeks provides LG with an opportunity to gain traction and drive sales in their favor.
The LG G6 presents a sleek and feature-rich device this year, featuring a 5.7-inch display and the Snapdragon 821 SoC. The decision to release the G6 early was facilitated by the availability of the Snapdragon 821 chipset, unlike the Snapdragon 835 with lower production yields. Boasting an 18:9 aspect ratio and a non-removable battery contributing to its IP68 water and dust resistance certification, the LG G6 also includes Google Assistant and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat. The LG G6 is slated to launch in Israel on March 22nd and Australia on March 28th.
In just one day, South Korea’s enthusiasm for the LG G6 shines bright, with an impressive 20,000 units sold – a testament to its appeal and the nation’s love for innovative technology!
