So much for iCryiPhonearena's claims of S8 slowing sales. Hahahahaha

You can even tell by the tone of the article how disappointed they are to have to report any good news regarding Samsung. More than half the article just talks about the Note 8 instead of waxing lyrical about how amazing the sales are like they would have done if this was an Apple product doing well.

They don't try to hide their bias anymore, check the Note 7's unboxing video and you'll see how biased the reviewer is against Samsung.

What did you expect the ceo to say? Knowing that the note 8 will soon be released, That their sales are slowing down? Lmao. I doubt that the samsung ceo knows anything about sales tbh. Ever wondered why these good sales news are only coming from samsung related affiliates without any facts to back those up? And every other media outlet is reporting someting different? The truth shall be revealed very soon.

"I doubt that the samsung ceo knows anything about sales tbh."

So the CEO doesn't know anything about sales, yet a lifeless trolls has the guts to claim he knows not only about sales figures, but also what will the next iPhone, Note, and Pixel phones will offer?

Go back to your barn, enjoy a little chat with the flock of sheep you usually hang out with, this isn't your day with such news.

Oh its fun to draw parallels.
Open Media bias uses unnamed sources to confirm the story they want to report. CEO of the company states the facts and some people still believe the unnamed sources.

Hilarious to see a microcosm of whats going on in the rest of the media.

You win post of the day lol. Loved it.

8. AxelFoley (Posts: 128; Member since: 30 May 2017)

You beat me to this post. By the way, the CEO knows exactly how many devices he's shipped (aka sold to wholesalers), and he has way more knowledge than the analysts who had absolutely no data. However, your secret sources may know better.

Pretty soon, the conspiracy theorists will come to comment about how the CEO is lying. Before they get here, I just want to point out that it is illegal for any official to misrepresent data either publicly or privately in a way that can influence stock price. The Securities and Exchange Commission (or each country's equilavent) would fine the company who does that. Secondly, each major millionaire/billionaire shareholder would sue the heck out of the company, particularly if it is part of a conglemerate taking in hundreds of billions year.

Bankz...STOP IT. This news is coming from Samsung related affiliates because they are the people closest to the matter. If sales were not good, the CEO wouldn't be saying anything on the matter. Please stop acting like a certain "no mercy" idiot troll around here that swears that he knows more than CEO's and people closest to the matter, without any link backing up his words. I understand that you don't like Samsung, but dam, get ahold of yourself. Your incessant trolling of Samsung is ridiculous now.

No meanest, d*ckriding Samsung fans is NoToFanboys gimmick. You can't troll in on someone else's territory.

The King of Trolls has spoken!

The King idiot troll is here to defend his fellow troll. Bankz b@lls must feel good on your chin.

"I doubt that the samsung ceo knows anything about sales tbh."

You just lost all credibility with that statement. You run a company & you don't know anything about your best seller's sales? That makes perfect sense.

18. cmdacos (Posts: 566; Member since: 01 Nov 2016)

He had credibility to lose? Really?

20. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3795; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)

True. Can't argue with that.

25. tedkord (Posts: 13863; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)

You must be new here. He never had any credibility.

28. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3795; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)

Clearly.

23. tedkord (Posts: 13863; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)

Stop being foolish. A CEO can't just announce specific sales data if it isn't true, he can get into big legal trouble for manipulating the stock market. He could say it's doing well, or it's meeting our expectations, or something similarly non specific.

It doesn't matter what the truth reveals, you'll still cling to your own version of it, and claim any other is a lie. Very Trumpian.

27. donfem (Posts: 693; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)

So, iphonearena, knows everything about sales? Yeah right.

32. omnitech (Posts: 869; Member since: 28 Sep 2016)

Dude. The PR team would be bat crap itarded to allow the CEO to outright lie in public. Yes the PR department screens these types of statements before their employees talk to the media.

You know what kind of backlash they could get if it ever gets out that they lied? lol

36. joey_sfb (Posts: 6540; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)

I don't think the Samsung new CEO would discredit himself this early in the game. Besides, this figure would eventually be made public during their share holder boardroom meeting.

And here it is.
Another I know it all post from Bankz.

Lol +1. So long for these so called 'analysts'.

41. Canaan (Posts: 346; Member since: 25 May 2014)

I wouldn't exactly say it's struggling. 9.8 million units sold in first 60 days is hardly something to cry about that's still more than what LG and HTC flagships can do in a full year (and this is coming from someone who buys LG phones). Although, that number is below the S7 which had sold 12 million in the same time frame (60 days) as was reported last week.

9. AxelFoley (Posts: 128; Member since: 30 May 2017)

You're exactly right. A nobody really doubted it.

20. Bankz (Posts: 1921; Member since: 08 Apr 2016)
No, it only means that people didn't like the gs8 as much as people thought or as much as other years. But whats more shocking is this has happened inspite of all the BOGO deals available in the US. This is a new low for samsung tbh.
