Galaxy S24 Ultra Claims Best-Selling Smartphone Title (Q1 2024)
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most successful devices of the year, whether in terms of its pre-booking or in terms of its unit sales. The device has performed better than its predecessor. The reason behind it lies not only in the hardware perspective but also in the software, which has brought the new Galaxy AI features to new hype among consumers.
According to counterpoint research, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is listed among the top ten best smartphones, where it is the best Android device. Going into details, the Galaxy S24 ranks in fifth place immediately after Apple’s latest smartphones. The iPhone 15 Pro Max ranked first with 4.4% market share, the iPhone 15 ranked second with 4.3% market share, the iPhone Pro ranked third with 3.7% market share, and the iPhone 14 ranked fourth with 1.9% share of sales. Then, in the fifth position, the Galaxy S24 Ultra comes in with 1.9% of sales.
At first sight, it looks like Apple is significantly ahead of Samsung in terms of sales, but if you go in detail, Samsung not only provides smartphones in the high-end category but also makes several smartphones according to their affordability for a larger consumer base. Let’s explore the data about some non- flagship devices as well.
Non-flagship devices also secure a position in the top 10
Apart from the Galaxy S24 ultra device, there are other affordable devices from Samsung that also top the top ten list of sales. The Galaxy A15 5G secures the 6th position, the Galaxy A54 is in the 7th position, and the Galaxy A34 appears in the 10th position. The list ultimately depicts the dominance of Samsung and the iPhone in the global smartphone markets. However, Samsung has scope to capture the market for Android devices.

Samsung is all set to host its next Galaxy Unpacked event in 2024 on July 10 in Paris. The biggest part of the event will be the next-generation foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. An Australian retailer has posted renders of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in each color variant. Let’s take a closer look at the renders.
However, the renders don’t offer any unique details of the phone, since the previous leaks and rumors have already revealed much more about both fold and flip devices. But the most noticeable part is the color options. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is available in yellow, and the other colors also look pretty. Similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the cover screen is surrounded by black bezels.
The giant has added a colored ring around the camera lenses to match the phone’s color; it seems pretty elegant. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a sharper and more angular design on full display. This new design gives it a classy and more professional look in a way that we have seen on the Galaxy S24 Utlra. Apart from this, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 will feature a titanium frame, the same as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The brand will introduce these foldables at the launch event in Paris on July 10. Apart from the foldable, the brand will also debut more Galaxy products, including its ever-first smart ring, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Buds 3, and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. If you are interested, you can already reserve the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 and get a $50 credit.

Samsung usually tries new and significant changes to give a new boost to the user experience; that’s exactly the case with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. It might bring about a big design change.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series will take the floor in early 2025, as expected. Similar to its predecessor series, the Galaxy S25 will also include three variants: the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The new report says that the Ultra variant of the Galaxy S25 series could bring a major design change.
If the report is to be believed, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will not appear in sharper corners. This is in contrast to the recently launched Galaxy S24 Ultra. The reason behind this major change seems to be that the sharper corners of the current Galaxy S24 can dig into the users’ palms and cause inconvenience if the device is not covered with a case. However, it is not exactly clear yet whether the entire corner is curved or if its edges are more rounded.
Samsung has yet to announce any announcement regarding the Galaxy S25 series, but it seems that the giant will dedicatedly overcome the shortcomings of the Galaxy S24 Ultra with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Following the previous launching schedules, it’s expected that the device will be announced sometime early next year. It is rumored that Samsung will upgrade the cameras massively with its next flagship phone. According to some reports, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature a 200MP primary rear camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP super-telephoto with 5x optical zoom. On the flip side, a 12 MP selfie camera could be housed.
It will be interesting to see what new novelties the upcoming Galaxy S25 series will bring.

Samsung is all set to launch its next-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. To boost the enthusiasm among fans, before the official launch of devices, update official cases.
Samsung has already confirmed that it will host the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, at which it will debut the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Buds 3 series, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Galaxy Watch 7 series. Now the giant is showing off a new collection of images of its upcoming foldable accessories. A post on X shared by @MysteryLupin led to a PostImage gallery.
The new case for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is shown in blue, gray, and green in the new keyring case. There’s not much new here, but we do get a really good look at how the giant is adding vibrant color to the ring around the lenses on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. On the other side, Galaxy Z Fold 6 cases show us the updated aspect ratio of Samsung’s book-style foldable while also showing the new case models.
Noticeably, the Korean giant is releasing three new cases for the foldable phone:
- A slim S Pen case
- An upgraded grip case with a clear backplate
- A unique case with both a built-in hand grip and a kickstand
The brand this time brings back a slim S Pen case, which hints there won’t be a built-in S Pen holder on the device itself. It also announces an updated grip case with a clear backplate for a decent and unique look. Apart from these two, there’s one more unique case coupled with both a built-in hand grip and kickstand, offering enhanced functionality even after the unusual design.
Noticeably, the brand could offer some of its official cases completely free with foldable pre-orders. Dedicatedly, you can expect the cost for these cases to be around $50–$80 at least. The pre-orders for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are open now on Samsung.com. With a $50 credit, you can save up to $1,500 on pre-reservation.
