They claim that the LG G3 sells three times more than the Galaxy S5 in Korea

In Europe we are patiently waiting for the arrival of the LG G3. This terminal is being sold exclusively in South Korea and, according to information provided by ETNews, in a much more successful way than the Galaxy S5. Specifically, it would sell three LG G3s for each unit of Galaxy S5.

ETNews is a Korean medium and, as expected, the news comes directly from the Asian country. The latest LG flagship is one of the most interesting smartphones on the market next to the Samsung Galaxy S5 but, according to this Korean media, LG has managed to "bring down" the sales of the terminal of its main competitor. The supposed figures are clear: 25.000 to 30.000 units of the LG G3 have been sold every day since its launch last Wednesday, doubling the so far good amounts of its previous flagship, the LG G2.

However, the most important thing for the company is that it seems to have won the battle against its main rival in its country, Samsung. For every Samsung Galaxy S5 sold, 3 units of the LG terminal are sold. Specifically, the Galaxy S5 managed to sell 7.000 to 8.000 units a day during its initial release in late March.

Furthermore, the source also indicates that LG's marketing expenses have been much lower than Samsung's, thanks mainly to the number of leaks that have occurred over time while waiting for the official presentation. Both devices have their advantages and disadvantages, but it seems that the G3 is being a success in its country of origin.

Despite the good data, LG still has a lot of work to do because, although it is true that sales in the country where the terminal is manufactured are important, it is even more so to do so throughout the world in order to strengthen the image of success and good work. Therefore, until the terminal is launched in Europe and the United States in late June or early July, we will not be able to speak of a "feat" by the company since, in these territories, Samsung is still the King.

    I call this the NEXUS effect. Each company that Google chooses for its terminals ends up rebounding in the market, in the case of HTC with the first Nexus, then Samsung and now LG and Asus.

    But it may just be a happy coincidence….
