Samsung has sold 590,000 devices in its Galaxy S21 series, a report from South Korea has revealed. The numbers are the highest since the Galaxy S8 (620,000 units).
For the first month of sales, the Galaxy S21 moved nearly twice as many units as the Galaxy S20 last year.
Representatives from analytics firm Atlas Research & Consulting, sitting behind the report, revealed that the main reason was Samsung’s ability to expand its 5G presence while keeping prices low, especially compared to the previous series.
The base model of the Galaxy S21 started from KRW990,000 (around $ 870), while the vanilla Galaxy S20 cost almost 20% more – KRW 1,248,500 or more than $ 1,100.

Samsung also had another reason to celebrate: its Galaxy A31 midranger has become the best-selling phone in the domestic market.
Demand for low-end models in 2020 was unlike any other time – people preferred affordable mobile devices to stay connected during COVID-19.
