14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 with much fanfare last month, and the shipping started in late January in the majority of countries out there.
And now the South Korean company says it’s already seeing signs of a solid market performance for the Galaxy S21, including in the United Kingdom.
More specifically, the Galaxy S21 not only sells like hotcakes, but it’s also beating the performance of its predecessors, including both the Galaxy S20 and the S10. In other words, Samsung is selling more S21 units than S20 and S10 after their launch, with the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G account for half of the sales.
What this means is that most Britons who purchase a Galaxy S21 get the Ultra model, as this is currently the most popular version in the United Kingdom.
The disappointing Galaxy S20 performance
“Over the last twelve months, technology has been the vital thread that has maintained our connections. Demand for innovation is growing, and this is reflected in the pre-order results we have seen across our Galaxy S21 5G Series, as well as devices within our wider ecosystem such as our Galaxy Book Flex2 5G laptop and our Galaxy Buds Pro headphones which are already receiving industry accolades” said Conor Pierce, Corporate Vice President for Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland.
“This year we have delivered innovation in spades with our flagship range which, for the first time, is powered by 5G throughout and comes with industry-leading cameras, display and battery. And for those who want the latest in functionality, we have introduced our much-loved S-Pen to the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G as the ultimate assistant in creativity and productivity.”
For Samsung, this is without a doubt good news, especially as the Galaxy S20 market performance has been well below expectations. The device launched at a time when the world entered the lockdown, so few people actually got a chance to get some hands-on time with it, with global sales eventually hit massively.
