Earlier this week, Samsung announced that in South Korea, users had issued 620,000 pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + . Of these, 150,000 users ordered a special version of the Galaxy S8 + with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory for $ 1,000. And then within two days, Samsung sold over 100,000 new flagships on pre-orders. This is reported by the online edition of SamMobile .
The head of Samsung Mobile Dong-jin Koh (Dong-jin Koh) said that as of Wednesday, April 12, South Korea had issued more than 728,000 pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +.
Dong Jin Ko added that Samsung is going to make every effort to regain lost ground in China, where Samsung faced growing competition from local manufacturers against the backdrop of not very favorable public opinion in the Celestial Empire regarding Korean companies, given the political tension between the two countries .
"China is the market we can never give up, and although the last two years in the market have been a difficult time for us, we believe that Chinese consumers will react and choose good products," said Samsung's mobile business leader.
Dong Jin Co also commented on the concerns of users regarding the safety of the new flagships. According to him, Samsung tested the batteries in more than 100,000 units of the Galaxy S8, and therefore can "confidently state that the Galaxy S8 is safe to use."
Samsung plans to sell one million Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + on pre-orders and, apparently, overcome this mark they will manage long before the start of sales, scheduled for April 21.
