Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series selling better than its predecessor in multiple markets

Back in February, it was revealed that Samsung’s S23 series preorders squashed the S22 series’ sales numbers in multiple markets.

The data showed that the S23 series was selling better than its predecessor in markets like Taiwan, India, South Korea, France and some Latin American countries.

Now, Samsung has confirmed that the S23 series is indeed selling better than its predecessor by 1.7 times in Latin America, 1.5 times in Europe and the Middle East, and 1.4 times in India. It’s unclear how well the smartphone is selling in North America, including Canada.

The S23 series surpassed the one million sales mark in South Korea in a similar timeframe as the S22 series, and is offering KRW 100,000 vouchers or damage compensation to celebrate this milestone.

The flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra accounts for 60 percent of the total sales, while the Galaxy S23 and S23+ each contribute 20 percent. Although Samsung did not disclose the exact numbers, the company’s pre-order bonuses, the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and a 200-megapixel camera have certainly contributed to the series’ success.

Get over $800 in trade-in credits towards new S23 series devices

Now that Samsung’s new S23 lineup has been unveiled, Canadians can order the latest flagship devices. One way to reduce the cost of your new smartphone is to trade in your old one.

With the Samsung Galaxy S23, buyers can save up to $835 on the new phone, based on the $350 pre-order top-up promotion and the trade-in of a Galaxy S22 Ultra 512GB, which comes in at $485 in value.

The ‘pre-order top-up promotion’ will offer you $350 if you complete the purchase of an eligible Samsung Galaxy S23 device and trade in an eligible Galaxy Note Series, Galaxy S Series, or Galaxy Z Series device as defined in the List of Eligible Trade-In Devices. Under the same promotion, you will get $100 if you complete the purchase of an eligible Samsung Galaxy S23 device and trade in an Eligible Trade-In Product (excluding Galaxy Note Series, Galaxy S Series, or Galaxy Z Series device) as defined as “Other Smartphone” in List of Eligible Trade-In Devices.

Similarly, with the S23+ and the S23 Ultra, you can save up to $845 on the new device, considering that you’re trading in a Galaxy S22 Ultra 512GB, paired with the $350 pre-order promotion.

For reference, Samsung quoted a $427 estimated trade-in value for my iPhone 12 Pro 128GB, paired with a $100 promotion, which totals $527 in trade-in value. It’s worth noting that by trading in the same device on Apple’s website to purchase the iPhone 14 Pro, I was only offered $380 in trade-in value.

Head to the S23, 23+ or S23 Ultra listing on Samsung’s website and click on Trade-In to calculate how much value you can get from your old device.

Samsung reportedly manufactured its own Snapdragon chips for S23 series

Samsung’s upcoming S23 flagship series is set to be unveiled at the company’s Unpacked event on February 1st, and thanks to an alleged spec leak shared by WinFuture, we already know a lot about the device.

The most interesting of the leaks is the fact that Samsung will use a special version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset in its S23 devices.

It’s worth noting that Samsung has sold its devices with Snapdragon chips in Canada, the United States and other key markets, whereas other markets, primarily Europe, have been stuck on inferior Exynos Samsung devices. Then, last year, Samsung and Qualcomm reportedly struck a deal that would result in the S23 series using Snapdragon chips globally, and that seems to be coming true now.

According to documentation viewed by 9to5Google, the chip used in the upcoming flagships will be called “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy.” According to the same documentation and the spec leak from WinFuture,, the chip will have a clock speed of up to 3.36GHz, whereas Qualcomm’s main version of the chip operates at 3.2GHz. Apart from that, the chipset isn’t expected to offer any other additional features, but it is sure to be optimized specifically for Samsung devices.

It’s alsoworth noting is that the chip will reportedly be manufactured by Samsung instead of TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) , which normally creates Qualcomm chips.

From what we already know, the regular S23 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch Gorilla Glass Victus 2 AMOLED display with a 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution, while the S23+ sports the same display specs, but offers a bigger  6.6-inch display. The S23 Ultra, on the other hand, comes with a 6.8-inch 3080 x 1440 display that can adjust between 1Hz and 120Hz and uses Victus 2. Find out more leaked specs about the upcoming flagships here.
