We will likely see the impact of the coronavirus outbreak for weeks and months to come, but for a concrete number to show just how disruptive the virus has been, look no further than the sales of the Galaxy S20. Citing industry sources, The Korea Herald reported on Friday that sales of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 smartphones were 50% lower on launch day than those of the Galaxy S10 series when it launched around the same time last year.
Insiders say that Samsung sold an estimated 70,800 Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra phones in its home market of South Korea on Thursday, which is a massive drop off from the 140,000 units Galaxy S10 units sold on launch day, or the 220,000 Galaxy Note 10 phones that were bought when it launched last August.
