The Galaxy S22 Series has secured 70K+ pre-bookings in just 12 hours in India, setting a new record, Samsung announced today. Pre-bookings started on February 23rd.

Addressing several of the shortcomings of the Galaxy S21 Series, with the main one being the S21 and S21+ models coming with plastic backs despite being flagship offerings, the Galaxy S22 Series is obviously doing quite well for itself. There’s even a model which is a subtle revival of the fan-favorite Note series this year — the Galaxy S22 Ultra which brings back the iconic boxy Note design and features an S Pen slot.

The two factors when combined are likely the main driving force behind the new sales records.

Aside from that, another ace in the hole is Samsung’s decision to treat pre-bookers to irresistible exclusive offers. Customers pre-booking the Galaxy S22 Ultra will get Galaxy Watch4 worth Rs 26,999 at just Rs 2,999, while pre-booking the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 will fetch the Galaxy Buds2 worth Rs 11,999 at just Rs 999.

Pre-bookings will last until March 10th, following which the Galaxy S22 Series will go on sale starting March 11th.

From this, it is quite obvious that deliveries will kick off widely only after March 11th. But as a tipster revealed recently, some pre-booking customers will even receive their Galaxy S22 Series and Galaxy Tab S8 Series orders starting March 7th.
