Summary
3 million Galaxy S26 phones sold in South Korea within 118 days, making the series Samsung’s fastest domestic seller and beating the S25’s roughly six-month pace.
1.35 million pre-orders in 7 days set the surge up, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra taking 70% of reservations; a June 8-July 5 promotion and fears of higher S27 prices added momentum.
$1.55 billion in South Korean wireless-device exports in June marked a 51.9% year-on-year rise, and the trade ministry said first-half growth was driven by strong Galaxy S26 finished-product sales.
1.5 million units is Samsung’s new July S26 production target, raised from 1 million as sales on Samsung.com and open markets tripled and Ultra deliveries slipped into August.
July 22 will bring Samsung’s new Galaxy Z foldables, after which the company plans to reassess S26 production in August based on sales trends and inventory.
