Samsung Galaxy S24 crosses the 1 million mark in South Korea – Phandroid

Without a doubt, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is one of the most popular Android phones of 2023 so far. According to the latest figures, the Galaxy S24 has actually surpassed the 1 million mark over in its home base of South Korea. The handset achieved this in 28 days since its launch, beating the Galaxy S8 by about 9 days.

The Galaxy S8, for those unfamiliar, was the most popular Galaxy S-series phone from Samsung. Unfortunately for the Galaxy S24, it did not manage to beat the Galaxy Note 10, Samsung’s best-selling phone to date. It did come close though, but it seems that the Note 10 still prevailed.

What’s interesting is the breakdown of the sales. It turns out that 55% of all Galaxy S24 phones sold belonged to the more expensive Galaxy S24 Ultra. The rest went to the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+. Samsung made an interesting decision this year to include AI software in its phones.

It turned out to be a good decision. While the Galaxy S24 is a powerful phone, smartphone hardware has kind of peaked. The inclusion of AI certainly makes things a lot more interesting and exciting. We can’t say we’re surprised with this bit of news. Previously, Samsung announced that pre-orders for the phone were off the charts. But to see the Galaxy S24 cross the 1 million mark and beat the Galaxy S8 is still impressive.
