Samsung has also asked its components suppliers to keep up with the target set. Well the Korean giant sure seems confident about the success of its device. In the past the company reportedly shipped 45 millions of of Galaxy S5 and S6 and 48 million units of Galaxy S7. Samsung is also looking at recouping their losses incurred due to the global recall of the Galaxy Note 7 and its subsequent discontinuation.

After the mass production of the units which start in March, the company will be shipping out 5 million units every month after that. Industry analysts suggest that Samsung is setting up an ambitious target of shipping out this many units as the high-end smartphone market has gotten quite competitive.
