The sales of HTC One M8 in the United States they are exceeding the expectations of the company itself, and they do not seem to have decreased since the Galaxy S5 hit the market. The M8 began to be sold there on March 25 and every week since then it has improved the results of what it achieved with the 2013 model. Good news, without a doubt, for a company that needs take flight as soon as possible.
The fact that the M8 remains strong in the market does not mean that it is outselling the Galaxy S5, in fact, it is most likely that it is happening just the opposite, since the new Samsung flagship accumulates 64% of its users worldwide in the United States. However, it is noteworthy that the HTC terminal does not significantly acknowledge the arrival of such a fearsome rival.
Improving the results of the first HTC One
Jason Mackenzie, President of HTC in the US has acknowledged being surprised with the fantastic reception that has had the M8 in the market of the North American country. There were only two weeks during the whole of last year in which the company registered more sales than during the last month, and these were the days of the “back to school” campaign of the operators.
After the launch of the Galaxy S5 on April 11, the activations of the HTC One M8 remained just as solid as in all previous time, which means that the new Samsung flagship has not made any doubt too much for those who already had plans to get an M8.
Two variants on the way
To strengthen the product, HTC plans to launch two variants in the near future. The first is the M8 Ace, of which we have spoken these past days. It is a model built in plastic that will be sold for a cheaper price. The second is an edition with the audio system Harman Kardon which will be, for the moment, exclusive to the Sprint operator.
And to you, do you think the HTC One M8 good sales? Do you see him with options to compete against the Galaxy S5?
