Samsung Galaxy S10 pre-orders in Korea fall behind Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note9

05 March 2019
Only 140,000 pre-orders for the Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e were placed on the first day.

Sort by:

demand for new phone is falling worldwide. even Apple suffered from this new situation.
diminishing innovation for every new generations.
someday phone will become just a normal product type like notebook, PC. no large group of people had high expectation on a new model release of notebook, or PC.
making a phone be as expensive as a notebook, some manufacturers had gone out of mind.

    SparkS, 05 Mar 2019For an anniversary flagship, being more expensive, only one... morewhat do you really expect from phones these days seriously? it's already a VERY mature market. The trend is always less bezels and we are at a point where there is nothing more to shave off. As for internals improvements are very minimal. It's like the laptop market, what do surprises you expect from laptops these days? you lucky they are doing the FOLD to make it more interesting. Please don't say fail when every other company is making the same "innovation". This is the "S" series, they have to keep the price high.

        Anonymous, 05 Mar 2019First apple with their sales collapse. This year Samsung. "First apple with their sales collapse. This year Samsung."

        Samsung collapsed last year already with S9. Samsung direction been down since galaxy S5.

          They really should've priced it lower

            It's very bad start knowing how bad start S9 had in Korea. S9 pre-orders were 50% less than S8. So if they can't even beat S9 numbers.

              SparkS, 05 Mar 2019For an anniversary flagship, being more expensive, only one... moreYou have -new better display (on of the best if not the best display on market)
              -new 7nm procesor (compared to s9 10nm)
              - aditional camera on the back
              - aditional camera on the front
              - the best spearkers on a samsung device
              -the best in display fingerprint sensor on the market (wich is also the best
              unlocking mechanism on the market right now)
              -the biggest battery on any s or note devices
              -new samsung One UI
              - more ram (8gb)
              - reverse wireless charging
              - hole punch display wich is also the best looking alternative to notchless display (maybe teardrop notch is better but is only for one camera)
              - one of the biggest design changes on any S or note devices

              And i can pre-order all that(S10+) for 900€ with galaxy buds in my country... if i wait for 2 weeks i will be able to get it for 800€... sooo if this is not one of the best flagships for money idk what is..... The only one who is failed is you with that comment

                      For an anniversary flagship, being more expensive, only one innovation (new fingerprint sensor), same ufs 2.1 for the storage, same wired charging speed, almost same design. Samsung #failed

                        People have become smart now. They know that price will drop significantly after one month & there is no point in pre booking new phone at launch price.

                          Note 9 is around $750 right now and I'm getting it later this year.

                            S10 series going to face this as expected with ever increasing prices. People can get S9+ fraction of S10+ price. They are their own competitors.... As such Note 9 which is also available at bargain prices....S10 is sort of pointless for those coming from S8 and above...

                              Worse design and nothing new.....

                              Since s6 Samssung simply applies hardware they see on other brands. They do not create anything new and interesting.
                              Fun fact is many of these stuff were called gimmick, but useful after samsung has had

                                There’s a clear message here: we don’t want a notch or whatever Samsung calls it on the most premium android phone.

                                  These are 3 lovely phones but lets be honest they are not ground breaking flagships. A couple of neat things on them and slap almost a grand price tag to them, No wonder the interest in them is low.
                                  Samsung no longer has most of the ball park to its self, other companies are doing the same things for cheaper.
                                  I did expect more from these phones to say they are the show piece to celebrate 10 years of Galaxy S.
                                  A quick price fall to celebrate 10 years before these actually are released would drum up a ton of interest and show samsung not to be a greedy company cashing in on some tweeks.

They just test how much they can get away with

                                        nobody wants to pay a smartphone 900 dollars nowadays.
                                        soon prices will sink globally.
