Samsung rings up sales of 26 million Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge units to date

Since the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge were launched in March, it is estimated that 26 million units of the flagship devices  have been sold. Thanks to the success of the pair, Samsung announced this morning that it expects to report operating profits of $7 billion for the second quarter. The three month period will be the manufacturer's best quarter in two years. Sales should come to $43.2 billion.

While Samsung did not breakdown the figures for its mobile business, the group is reportedly responsible for roughly 49% of the company's total operating profits for the quarter. That would mean that the manufacturer's mobile business produced an operating profit of about $3.5 billion from April through June.

Despite the brisk sales of the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge, the devices together might not break the company's all time smartphone sales record for a one-year period. That record is held by the Samsung Galaxy S4, which sold 70 million units during the model's first year on the market; which took place from April 2013 to April 2014.
