Sales of Samsung Electronics' new flagship Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones will reach a combined 50 million units or more, surpassing the previous bestseller Galaxy S4, a market research firm forecast Friday. The Galaxy S4 sold about 45 million units in its first year.

The Hong Kong-based Counterpoint Technology Market Research said that sales of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge may surpass 55 million units. "We believe the metal casing and curved display will be even difficult for Samsung and it will cause a delay in the first initial shipments of the Galaxy S6 Edge. With such constraints cleared, we believe the Galaxy S6 and Edge can exceed 55 million units this year," Counterpoint Research said in an article, headlined "Galaxy S6: Can it change the source of Samsung?" 

The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will go on sale worldwide on April 10.
