The smartphone market is experiencing one of its worst slumps in history, with shipments falling by more than 11% globally last year. The decline did not escape Samsung either, which delivered almost 2022% fewer phones to the market in 16 than the year before. The Korean giant is betting a lot on its new flagship line Galaxy S23. And as pre-order figures from around the world suggest, that bet is starting to pay off for him.
Let's start first in Asia, which is Samsung's home continent. Compared to the series Galaxy S22 was sold by this year's series Galaxy S23 at least 10% more units during the pre-order period in Taiwan. Growth was even stronger in India, which saw twice as many pre-orders as last year, including 140 units sold in the first two days.

The S23 Ultra model had the largest share of pre-orders for this year's flagship series, namely 60% (or 650 thousand units). The share of the standard model was 23% and the "plus" 17%.
So far the only European country where Samsung is in line Galaxy S23 released sales figures, is France, where the number of pre-orders from 1-16. almost doubled in February compared to the same period last year. It's your turn Galaxy The S22 has seen double the pre-orders of the series in the country Galaxy S21, which means that this year's models were sold almost four times more than last year's "flagships".

Samsung has yet to announce pre-order numbers in the US, but considering the rest of the world, we can assume that the S23 Ultra was the most sought-after model here as well. The fact that the Korean giant's top flagship is a really "hot" product at the moment is also evidenced by the fact that its stock in our country was completely sold out during the pre-order period disassembled.
I considered the S23, but she didn't take me. But after a while I fell in love with Ultra. I wanted her as an alternative to iPhone 13 minis. But with that phone, I don't mind the size. Not even shutter lag is felt against the S21 FE. I'm even considering selling the iPhone and just having the Ultra. Luxury phone. I was mainly surprised by the balance. Even with a 55g case – Samsung with a strap, the phone doesn't feel as heavy in my hand as it should iPhone 12 For which, including the case, he had 100g less.
I don't have the slightest reason to jump on their camera crap again. I bought 22+ last year and have never been more disappointed. Horrible, the photos are the same today's S23+, even the ultra doesn't take god knows how well. A lot of misery for me in the photos and give 40k for it? With an embarrassing bonus, what was this year? Sure. And I would really like to see that hit. Pretty fancy numbers like last year.
I upgraded from the S20+ and S23 ultra and broke them down huge. I don't think there are big differences between generations...
So go ahead and buy a Xiaomi for 34... with tragic support. No one is stopping you.
Sorry.. the reaction to Jirka jumped a bit to my side😂
