Even in India, the Galaxy S24 series broke the pre-order record, receiving more than 250,000 pre-orders in three days. This is far more than the pre-order for the Galaxy S23 that Samsung received. Samsung received 250,000 pre-orders for the Galaxy S23 series in three weeks, while the Galaxy S24 received pre-orders in just three days.
