Samsung boasts massive Galaxy S24 Ultra popularity as new flagship series becomes globally available،
Considered a big box office success in India and South Korea before it began shipping to its first users, the ultra-premium Galaxy S24 family of handsets is now available. officially available worldwide.
Of course, Samsung would much prefer that we continue to focus more on the early successes of its latest super premium smartphones, although in the absence of clear and precise pre-order numbers, this is quite difficult to do for more than a few minutes . .
S24 series is more popular than S23 list
This was most obviously true for the two key markets mentioned above, and it is apparently and predictably true for the entire world, but it is difficult to gauge the extent of the impact. Galaxy S24 The progress of the family compared to the S23 trio given Samsung's vagueness on the subject.
All the tech giant is willing to confirm at the moment is a “double-digit increase in pre-order sales” for the S24 series compared to last year. Galaxy S23 programming during the same period, which could mean several things. Something tells us that the world's second-largest smartphone seller would have been more specific about that number if it was a really big number, like a 50 or 70 percent improvement, so until we have a clearer picture of the global pre-order situation of a According to an official (or even unofficial) source, we assume that the “double-digit increase” is much closer to 10 or 20%, at least for the moment.

That's a mind-blowing split considering the "vanilla" Galaxy S24 and the S24 Plus are no pushovers themselves, earning plenty of praise in our hands-on reviews and seeming (at least at first glance) quite capable of commanding prices like Apple's non-Pros. iPhone15 and iPhone 15 Plus a race for their money mainstream popularity.
The success of the S24 Ultra follows in the footsteps of the advantage of the S23 Ultra over its smaller brothers, highlighted among other things by a top 10 best-selling smartphones in the second quarter of 2023, where the S23 and S23 Plus were nowhere to be found. Clearly, Samsung is having trouble getting its non-Ultra premium products to market, which could mean that serious price cuts for the S24 and S24+ (with and without conditions such as trade-ins) are imminent.
