Samsung Electronics had recently announced its latest flagship series of Galaxy S22 smartphones. Soon after the launch, the pre-orders went live, which broke records in many regions. In South Korea alone, the Galaxy S22 series pre-orders crossed an impressive 1 million.
According to the South Korean tech giant, the number of pre-orders on the first day surpassed 300,000. This marked the highest domestic record among any Samsung Galaxy series smartphone. The previous record was held by the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 that were released back in August 2021. And just a week after, this figure swelled to include a total of 1.02 million units in pre-orders, which is the highest ever. This means that the Galaxy S22 series has dethroned the Galaxy S8 that saw the highest ever pre-orders, which hit 1,004,000 (Via ZDNet).
Out of the entire lineup, the top end Galaxy S22 Ultra accounted for 60 percent of all pre-orders, which arrives as no surprise considering this particular model would even attract Galaxy Note fans as well. The company didn’t see success in its home market alone, its pre-orders broke record in other regions as well. We had previously reported on Samsung breaking records in India as well, with pre-orders reaching more than 70,000 units in just 12 hours.
So, the figure has likely gone up since then as well. Similarly, the brand also saw great success in the US as well. As per the official Samsung Newsroom US, the Galaxy S22 series saw record breaking pre-orders in the region, with the Galaxy S22 Ultra being the most popular model here as well. Bryan Choi, a senior Samsung executive, added that “We’re thrilled that these devices have already become among our most popular ever.”
