If this figure is anything to go by it suggests that analysts might not expect the Galaxy Note 7 to perform as well as the Galaxy S7 edge did. Recent market data estimates that Samsung shipped an impressive 13.3 million units of the Galaxy S7 edge in the first half of this year making it the best selling Android smartphone in the world during this time. Sure enough, the Hyundai Securities analyst Kim Dong-won expects the Galaxy S7 to continue selling strong and also suggests that we might see a modest decline in Samsung's overall smartphone sales for the remainder of 2016 even as he agrees that the Galaxy Note 7 will occupy demand for premium smartphones because Apple's new iPhone is released next month. He has also forecasted a 10 percent decrease to 3.9 trillion in the third quarter operating profit of Samsung's mobile business.
