As it turns out, a big price drop is a great way to boost sales. SamMobile has the latest Strategy Analytics numbers and reports that first-month US sales of the Galaxy S21 series have tripled compared to last year.

The Galaxy S20 series arrived last year at MSRPs of $1,000 for the base model, $1,200 for the S20 Plus, and $1,400 for the S20 Ultra. This year, Samsung rolled out a $200 price drop across the lineup, resulting in an $800 base model, $1,000 Plus model, and $1,200 Ultra model. On top of that, Samsung has also been more aggressive about price drops, even in the first month of sales.
