Galaxy S8 pre-orders cross 1 million units in South Korea
We’ve witnessed over the past week just how popular the Galaxy S8 has turned out to be in Samsung’s home market of South Korea. The company has been selling 50,000 units of the new flagship on average every single day. It was aiming to receive more than 1 million pre-orders for the handset before the pre-order period ended and Samsung has hit that milestone. More than 1 million Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ units combined have been pre-ordered by customers in South Korea.
According to a local news report which cites data collected from local telecom carriers, pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 have exceeded the 1 million mark. This is the highest pre-order figure ever for a smartphone released in South Korea. Samsung is going to officially launch the handset in its home market and in the United States on April 21.
Samsung already expects that Galaxy S8 to outperform the Galaxy S7 as far as sales are concerned, Reports suggest that the company has set the Galaxy S8 sales target at 60 million units which is considerably higher than the 52 million units that it sold of the Galaxy S7.

Not too bad! I think the best selling flagship phone Sammy had was in the S4 days, since then the numbers each year haven’t been as high flagship phone wise, the S8 could certainly change that this year. We’ll see, but there also so much competition these day for half the price
i just hope that will be gear 360 2017 preorder discount somewhere…
You’re better off with the 2016 model, it has a better F2.0 lens, and twice the megapixel count for still images. Also has a larger battery.
1 million in South Korea alone?! that is impressive. wonder what the worldwide number is
