Galaxy S21 Sales In The US Have Doubled Over Galaxy S20

Samsung's Galaxy S21 series isn't showing much signs of slowing down in the US marketplace. According to the latest data from enquiry firm Counterpoint Research, sales of the Galaxy S21 serial in the US have doubled over the Galaxy S20 series during the start six weeks of launch.

The business firm notes that the COVID-xix pandemic-induced financial uncertainties had affected the Milky way S20 sales terminal yr. This has helped magnify the Galaxy S21 series' comparative performance. Notwithstanding, the new Galaxy flagships are yet seeing strong need from consumers in the United states.

The Milky way S21 serial accounted for almost half of overall US sales for Samsung in Feb. The key to this overwhelming success has been the lower starting cost of the new phones, the business firm says. Samsung reduced the starting toll by $200 across the lineup this year.

While the Galaxy S20 series arrived last year with a starting price of $one,000 for the base model, this year's vanilla Galaxy S21 only cost $800 at launch. The aforementioned goes for the Galaxy S21+ ($1000 vs $1200 for S20+) and the S21 Ultra ($1200 vs $1400 for S20 Ultra).

Strong support from Usa wireless carriers has as well helped boost the sales of Samsung's latest flagship offerings. Both T-Mobile and AT&T offer up to $800 in credit with a new plan and an eligible merchandise-in. Verizon is also offer upward to $750 in trade-in credit with an unlimited program.

These trade-in offers substantially make the vanilla Galaxy S21 free. And you can already encounter the results of this when yous expect at the model-wise breakdown of the sales figures. The base of operations model S21 deemed for more one-third (35 percent) of the overall sales. On the other hand, the vanilla Milky way S20 was the lowest-selling model of the three phones final twelvemonth. The Milky way S21+ sold the least in the US this twelvemonth.

"Samsung also got the photographic camera configuration on the base of operations model (S21) right, giving it iii on the rear to lucifer up with the deluxe S21+," said Counterpoint's US Enquiry Analyst Maurice Klaehne.

Galaxy S21 sales have doubled in the U.s.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 serial on January 14, with pre-orders beginning immediately. General sales of the phones began on January 29. A report from research firm Strategy Analytics last month suggested that the offset-calendar month sales of the Milky way S21 trio in the U.s. have tripled compared to the Galaxy S20 series last year. Now, another enquiry report suggests a sustained though slightly declining demand into the second month also.

Galaxy S21 sales peaked in the first week since the launch. This is when everyone waiting for the new Galaxy flagships placed their orders (Samsung was offering a complimentary SmartTag to pre-gild customers, so why look). As expected, sales in the 6th calendar week saw the sharpest turn down overall.

Of form, the phones won't proceed selling like hotcakes forever. Nevertheless, for the time being, Samsung has been able to stamp its authority in ane of the well-nigh mature smartphone markets in the earth. The company is now betting on its affordable 5G offerings like the Galaxy A52 5G to carry the momentum forwards until it comes up with new foldables in the second half of the year.
