Samsung Galaxy S8 recorded record pre-orders in just 2 days of availability in South Korea, according to sources close to the Korean company. They claim that no less than 550.000 pre-orders were registered for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus in South Korea in 2 days, 150.000 more than those registered for the Galaxy S7.
The difference is very big in favor of the Samsung Galaxy S8 compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, and that says a lot about people's interest in the terminal. With an increase of almost 40% in pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S8 series compared to the previous one, the Samsung company has a successful start for the new smartphone that many people are already waiting for.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is the smartphone that holds the domestic sales record within the Samsung company, but based on what we see now, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will surpass it. Normally, we see pre-orders with such high numbers only for the iPhone series of terminals, in their case the numbers are somewhat better, but the Samsung Galaxy S8 is also attracting a lot of interest now.
Samsung Galaxy S8 - record pre-orders in 2 days
These pre-orders in such a large number were also possible thanks to the intense promotion made for the Samsung Galaxy S8 by the Samsung company and various partners. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is also sold with a series of accessories that enhance functionality, but save users from spending hundreds of euros to buy them and enjoy their functionality.
Practically, both Samsung and the partner mobile phone operators have done everything possible for the Samsung Galaxy S8 to be successful and to register very large pre-orders. South Korea was bombarded with a lot of promotional materials and this definitely had an impact on the notoriety that the Samsung Galaxy S8 registered among customers.
"According to industry sources on April 9, the Galaxy S8 has received a total of 550,000 units of preorders in just two days from April 7 to 8. The figure far surpasses a record-high number of 400,000 preorders for the Galaxy Note 7 and it is 5.5 times more than the preorders for the previous Galaxy S7.”
Considering that we are talking about 550.000 pre-orders for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus in just one country, it will be interesting to see if we will ever find out the global figure. Theoretically, this should be several million units of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, but it remains to be seen what kind of information will appear.
