Samsung Fires Back: Galaxy Tab Return Rate Actually Below 2 Percent
After a report that misquoted a representative during Samsung’s earnings call as saying Galaxy Tab sales were “quite small,” the handset manufacturer was quick to fire back with a correction. They actually said “quite smooth.” Then another volley was launched with a ITG analyst report that the Galaxy Tab had a return rate hovering around 15 percent among all US carriers. They compared that to the iPad’s 2 percent return rate (on Verizon alone).
Samsung wants to correct that notion as wrong, as well. In statements recently released via their Samsung Tomorrow blog the company has come out swinging, saying ITG’s report is completely false. They add, “According to Samsung Electronics Mobile Communications Business the return rate is below 2 percent.”
Less than 2 percent is very different than 15 percent, so who knows where ITG was getting their figures. Or who knows if Samsung is fudging the numbers (as they did with reports of 2 million Tabs “sold”).
