Samsung’s Galaxy S24 family continues to sell like hotcakes everywhere from South Korea to the US،
Is it too early to gauge the global success of a new premium smartphone (or three) as their pre-order window closes? Probably. But this is no longer the case after about a month of availability, which is where we have now reached when it comes to the ultra high-end. Galaxy S24 The trio is concerned.
1 million units on a market
This milestone was apparently achieved within 28 days of the S24 family's commercial release in the region, which is every bit as impressive as it sounds and is made even more impressive by how long it took for the S23 series last year to reach the same figure. We're talking three extra weeks, and even the wildly popular Galaxy S8 series in 2017 needed nine extra days compared to the S24 trio to sell a total of one million units in South Korea.
So it almost goes without saying that Samsung's newest phones are the fastest members of the Galaxy S family to reach 1 million sales in the tech giant's backyard, even though their 28-day feat is still three days behind the Galaxy Note 10 record from 2019.
The top-of-the-line S24 Ultra continues to be by far the best performing device of the flagship trio, with an absolutely astonishing 55% sales share, while the S24 and S24+ remain far behind with unspecified shares of the total ( regional). ) pie.
More than 10 million units worldwide
Assuming this is indeed legitimate, the “more than 10 million units” expected to be sold “within a month of launch” obviously still represents a drop in Apple's revenue. iPhone15 Ocean, for example, which was estimated to be around 85 million units in the first three months or so of global availability.
But that's never a favorable comparison for Samsung, which can instead be content with seeing the S24 series outperform last year's S23 lineup almost everywhere in the world.
A key market where Galaxy S24, S24 Plus and S24 Ultra are said to have achieved particularly remarkable numbers in Apple's home country of North America. We're apparently talking about 3.2 million units sold in this region alone, which is a “new record eight years after the Galaxy S7 series.”
It's unclear whether this means the S24 series is Samsung's most successful smartphone family ever in these areas or simply the most popular. Since the S7, but regardless, we're definitely looking at a big success here that should go down in the company's history books. And if you don't believe Ice Universe, just try to get the S24, S24 Plus, or S24 Ultra at a discount in the US right now, without trade-ins or various carrier-specific terms. It's impossible, which pretty much confirms these booming regional sales.
