With its tenth anniversary Galaxy flagship phones, Samsung was apparently hoping to turn the tide around and attract more sales than the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. The Galaxy S10 comes with a rear triple camera setup, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and massive internal storage for the average user. It also comes with a massive design change when compared to its predecessor. However, if the latest reports originating from Korea are anything to go by, these feature-packed phones failed to perform as expected in Samsung’s home ground, most likely causing concern for the technology behemoth.

The three major mobile carriers of South Korea, KT, SK Telecom, and LG Uplus started receiving pre-orders for the new phones from February 25 and shipments started going out on March 4. Per unverified reports, pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10 Plus came in at 140,000 on the first day. Comparatively, 180,000 units of the Galaxy S9 were booked on its first day last year and the Galaxy Note 9 attracted 200,000 subscribers when the pre-orders were opened in August 2018.
