The original HTC One (M7) registered sales of 5 million units within the first two months of availability, while Samsung Galaxy S4 outsold it by a whopping four times, recording 20 million sold units for the same period of time.
Sales data about the 2013 flagships from Samsung and HTC surfaced in a piece by Bloomberg, which also mentions that a few months prior to the launch of the two Android phones, Apple sold 5 million units of its iPhone 5 within 5 days of availability.
What this tells us is that Samsung practically dominated sales in the top-end of the Android spectrum. Not a surprise given the Korean company’s huge marketing budget, but still, it’s the first time we hear the actual sales numbers, putting all in context.
This year, the Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8) will be competing on the top shelf, but it seems that HTC has already lost its spirits - the company not only dropped down in value hugely recently, but it also said it plans to focus more on lower-end devices, backing one step away from the fierce battle of high-end devices.
