Highlights Galaxy S23 series sales have surged by approximately 22%, selling around 22.89 million units. Galaxy Z Fold 5 experiences about an 8% drop in sales compared to its predecessor. Stagnant sales for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 suggest foldable phones might be losing consumer interest. Samsung, the South Korean electronics behemoth, has long been a dominant force in the smartphone market with its Galaxy S and Z series. As 2023 winds down, we take stock of how well these flagships fared in the market. Recent data sheds light on a story of both success and stagnation. According to confidential figures allegedly provided by South Korean financial firm Hana Securities Co., Ltd. and shared by the leaker Revegnus on platform X (formerly known as Twitter), the Galaxy S23 series is proving to be a roaring success. Sales are up by approximately 22 percent compared to the Galaxy S22 series during the same timeframe. To put it in numbers, that amounts to an impressive 22.89 million units sold for the entire Galaxy S23 lineup. In a breakdown of this performance, the data suggests: Galaxy S23 Ultra units sold: 10.69 million Galaxy S23 Plus units sold: 4.11 million Galaxy S23 units sold: 8.09 million Samsung Galaxy S23 Series Unsurprisingly, the Ultra variant is the crowd-pleaser, confirming Samsung's own admission that the Plus models typically trail in sales. The validity of these figures seems reinforced by the consistent pattern seen in earlier years. While the Galaxy S23 series paints a picture of growth, the story is less cheerful for Samsung’s foldable phones. Revegnus’ data indicates that sales have hit a slump. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 sold around 1.25 million units, marking an 8% decline compared to the Z Fold 4. On the other hand, sales for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 remained virtually stagnant YoY, selling 2.26 million units as opposed to the Z Flip 4's 2.28 million. There is mounting speculation that competition from the likes of Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open is impacting Samsung’s stronghold in the foldable segment. A lack of substantial innovation in the 2023 foldables, which closely mirror their 2022 and even 2021 predecessors, might also be affecting consumer interest.
