Galaxy S21 sales are estimated to be 40 per cent larger than those of the Galaxy S20, which sold about 1.7 million units last year, according to market tracker Counterpoint Research.

The Galaxy S20 series had a relatively mediocre performance in its debut year due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

The Galaxy S21 series was released one month earlier than its usual schedule, with its entry-level S21 coming with a price tag of 999,900 won ($908), the cheapest price for Samsung’s any 5G flagship smartphone.

Local mobile carriers have also been increasing their subsidies for Galaxy S21 smartphone buyers, reports Yonhap news agency.

Counterpoint Research said increasing demand for unlocked phones will push up the sales of the Galaxy S21.

The market researcher earlier estimated that Samsung to account for 65 per cent of the domestic smartphone market this year, followed by Apple with 22 per cent
