This comprehensive report offers key insights into the commercial success of the Galaxy S24 series during the January-November period, showing its remarkable performance against the Galaxy S23 family released in 2023. The data reveals a significant leap in sales figures, demonstrating that the latest flagship phones have resonated well with consumers.
Galaxy S24 vs Galaxy S23: A Clear Advancement
- Galaxy S24 Ultra - 15.8 million units sold;
- Galaxy S24 - 12.1 million;
- Galaxy S24 Plus - 6.77 million;
- Galaxy S23 Ultra - 13.56 million;
- Galaxy S23 - 10.46 million;
- Galaxy S23 Plus - 5.39 million.
Contrary to expectations that the S24 Ultra might struggle to match or exceed its predecessor, this model has experienced a remarkable boost in sales. The S24 Ultra has outperformed the S23 Ultra by more than 2 million units, or approximately 17%, reflecting a notable shift given the smartphone market's overall stagnation. The substantial profit margins for each unit sold during this period contribute to the significance of these impressive figures.
It's crucial to note that the 15.8 million units sold by the S24 Ultra does not include additional remarkable figures from other models in the series; together, the sales total for the Galaxy S24 family reached an impressive 34.66 million units, marking an 18 percent increase from the 29.41 million units sold across the S23 lineup during the same timeframe in 2023.
Foldable Phones Performance
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 - 2.09 million units sold;
- Galaxy Z Flip 6 - 2.81 million;
- Galaxy Z Fold 5 - 1.91 million;
- Galaxy Z Flip 5 - 3.3 million.
In a parallel analysis, the latest Galaxy foldables, particularly the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, show signs of improvement in comparison to their predecessors. While the overall numbers remain modest, the Z Fold 6 recorded a slight increase of 180,000 units over the Z Fold 5's first five months of sales, contrasting with the prior half-a-million drop experienced. Despite this, the less favorable reception of the Z Flip 6 may limit overall sales potential.

As Samsung approaches its next family of devices set to debut in 2025, current trends suggest possible revisions in production expectations for the upcoming models, especially since the enthusiasm for the Z Flip 7 remains uncertain at best. Nevertheless, the next several months could impact final sales trajectories significantly.
