According to Samsung, domestic Galaxy S21 sales recorded in the first 11 days on the market (January 29 – February 8) were up 30% compared to the Galaxy S20 series roughly one year ago. These results reflect the earlier pre-order figures in South Korea, which were also higher compared to the previous year.
Pre-order statistics in other markets like the UK suggest that the Galaxy S21 Ultra was the most sought-after model prior to the series' release on store shelves. But as far as post-pre-order domestic sales are concerned, the base Galaxy S21 model took the crown.
Samsung claims that 40% of all the Galaxy S21 sales recorded in South Korea so far were covered by the base model. The Galaxy S21 Ultra was the second-most-successful variant with a 36% share. And of course, the remaining 24% were covered by the Galaxy S21+.
The Galaxy S21 series was released in a wide range of Phantom-labeled color options including black, gray, white, violet, pink, and silver — not counting the limited-availability paint jobs. For the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Phantom Black was the most popular choice among customers in South Korea.
Meanwhile, Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ buyers have preferred the Phantom Violet color option. Although Samsung hasn't revealed any percentages, the company claims that Phantom Violet was selected by most customers.
