Samsung has started the transition from the Galaxy S20 to the Galaxy S21. The old range is no longer available for sale on its official merchant website. A decision that can be explained by more interesting prices on the side of the S21, and this for better performance.
On the US version of the Samsung merchant site, the Galaxy S20 is shown as out of stock . Only the FE model of the smartphone is still available.
However, this decision stems from a reasoning ultimately quite logical. On the one hand, the Galaxy S20 achieved disappointing sales scores throughout 2020. On the other hand, its successor is in every way more interesting for users: the new premium range is less expensive , while its performance are better . In this context, it is not surprising that Samsung expects its customers to shun the GS20 for the new model, the latter having no substantial argument against the three Galaxy S21s.
SAMSUNG SAYS GOODBYE TO THE GALAXY S20
So it was only a matter of time before the Galaxy S20 disappeared from sales platforms. The FE version is indeed the only one to stand up to the newcomers, with its value for money much better than its range neighbors. On the other hand, even the latter could prematurely leave its place if a Galaxy S21 FE were to emerge.
The GS20 will probably remain available for a longer period of time on other merchant sites, such as Amazon or Cdiscount. Smartphones could then see their price drop in order to increase sales. However, the Galaxy S21, on average 100 € cheaper on the different models, risks winning the bet for the year 2021.
