Samsung has confirmed to Reuters that strong demand for the Galaxy Note 7 has led to supply constraints for the device globally. This has resulted in the company pushing back the release date of the handset in some markets of the world.

While a strong demand is a good news for the company, especially after the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge doing extremely well, Samsung now needs to work on quickly ramping up its production. A delay in the availability of the Note 7 can lead consumers to switch over to LG’s upcoming V20 or Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, both of which are scheduled to be unveiled in the first half of September.

“As pre-order results for the Galaxy Note 7 have far exceeded our estimates, its release date in some markets has been adjusted,” Samsung told Reuters in a statement without commenting on where launch delays could occur.

Unlike last year where Samsung faced production issues with the curved screen of the Galaxy S6 edge, the company has not faced any such issues with the Galaxy Note 7. As per Reuters’ source, the shortage is temporary and that Samsung is already working on improving the production of the device to meet demand “as early as possible.”

Analysts estimate that Samsung could well be on track to sell more than 15 million units of the Galaxy Note 7 if it manages to overcome its production issues. In comparison, the company is estimated to have sold around 9 million Galaxy Note 5 units last year.
