Last week, Samsung announced that it registered 1,40,000 pre-orders for the Galaxy S23 series within 24 hours of opening the pre-booking in India. Now, the latest generation flagship Galaxy S lineup has also received a great reception in the brand’s home country. Korean media reports that there were 1.09 million pre-orders for the Galaxy S23 series. This is said to be 7 percent more than the Galaxy S22 series last year.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series pre-orders record in South Korea make it the highest ever in the Galaxy S lineup. Only the Galaxy Note 10 family holds the record for the most pre-orders with 1.39 million units registered in the pre-sale back in August 2019. The brand’s fourth-generation foldables i.e. the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4 narrowly missed the 1 million pre-order thresholds. 

Korean media reports that the Galaxy S23 Ultra was the most opted device accounting for 60 percent of the pre-orders placed. The regular S23 model was chosen by 24 percent of customers whereas the S23+ recorded the smallest share of 15 percent. 

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series features a dynamic AMOLED 2x display bearing a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 1,750 nits peak brightness. All three devices are powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 4.0 storage technology. The regular and Plus models of the Galaxy S23 feature a 50MP primary, 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto triple rear camera setup whereas the Ultra variant has a 200MP primary sensor and an additional 10MP periscope lens. The S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra are backed by 3,900, 4,700, and 5,000mAh battery units respectively.
