Eros Group, a major distributor of world-renowned brands in consumer electronics in the Middle East, achieved record breaking sales of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge within the first two days of its launch in the UAE.

Eros Digital Home was the first retail chain to open pre-bookings for the phones across its 33 stores in the UAE. Deepak Babani, CEO of Eros Group said: “Our first allotment of 22,000 units has been completely sold out and we are waiting for the second lot. The second allotment is expected to arrive in the next couple of days.”

“Inquiries for the S6 Edge were more than S6 with 65 per cent for the Edge and 35 per cent for the S6 model. If the same ratio continues in the UAE, we may face shortage for the S6 edge model.”

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6Edge are the world’s first phones with a dual-edge display. Equipped with a 5.1-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) Super Amoled display, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge provides an impeccably sharp viewing experience, a statement said.

The phones’ 5-megapixel front and 16-megapixel rear cameras feature optical image stabilisation, fast tracking auto focus and an f1.9 aperture. Samsung’s fast charging technology also offers four hours of use with just 10 minutes of charging.

“Samsung has continuously evolved its product technology through user inspired innovation to make its mark as the world’s no.1 mobile manufacturer. At Eros Group, we have shared the Samsung vision for over 20 years and are committed to respond to the growing demands of our customers in the UAE and continuously strive to keep our finger on the consumer’s pulse,” said Babani.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are available across Eros Digital Home outlets in the UAE.
