LG G3 outselling the Samsung Galaxy S5 in Korea

LG and Samsung are both based on Korea, Samsung Galaxy S5 was released in April this year, and LG G3 was just released this month. However, LG G3 is outselling the Galaxy S5 on its home market in Korea.

Taking advantage of the trouble-ridden launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5 in South Korea, the LG G3 managed to outsell its rival by a whopping 3 to 1 ratio in the first few days of its availability. According to Korean sources the Galaxy S5 sales over that period were in the 7,000 to 8,000 range, while the G3 ships 25,000 to 30,000 units each day.

The fact that Korean carriers had to launch the Galaxy S5 ahead of schedule and before the promo campaign started due to the impending ban was certainly part of the explanation. Yet, the novel body of the LG G3 which is basically a plastic that feels like metal, and its QHD screen with super-slim bezels have certainly helped a lot too.
