Believe it or not, Samsung’s latest high-enders are selling better than not just the Galaxy S24 series, but all past 5G Galaxy phones. in Korea.
Is the original Galaxy S25 trio (Edge model notwithstanding) a box-office hit? That greatly depends on who you ask, and perhaps most importantly, on what region you choose to look more closely at, with different reports focused on different parts of the world telling contrasting stories.
In Samsung’s homeland of South Korea, for instance, the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra were basically declared a (joint) commercial sensation mere days after they were formally unveiled a few months ago as a result of their record-breaking «pre-sales» numbers.
Of course, not all registrations or pre-orders translate into actual shipments of a new phone (or three), which explains why that mind-blowing 1.3 million unit tally is only now jumping to 2 million.
That’s right, the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra have apparently reached 2 million unit sales (that’s real sales to real end users, mind you) in South Korea faster than not just last year’s Galaxy S24 series, but all previous 5G-enabled Galaxy handsets.
The first such device, in case you’re wondering, was 2019’s Galaxy S10 5G, and in recent years, Samsung has released innumerable budget-friendly smartphones with built-in 5G connectivity as well.
