Reports from Korea suggest that the initial consumer interest and demand for the Galaxy Note 7 is even higher than that of the Galaxy S7. As per Korea Herald, Samsung has received preorders for more than 200,000 units of the Galaxy Note 7 within two days of the preorders going live.

The figure is almost double of the total pre-orders that Samsung received for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge combined. While there is no denying the fact that the Galaxy Note 7 is a desirable handset, Samsung’s aggressive marketing has also played a key role here. To lure new customers, Samsung is offering a Gear Fit2 to customers who purchase the Galaxy Note 7. Additionally, it is also bundling a 100,000-won gift card that can be used in Samsung Pay Mall. Lastly, the company will also cover 50% of the screen repair cost, if the need ever arises. Samsung is running around 2,800 Note experience zones in Korea compared to the 2,000 zones it had for the Galaxy S7.

Samsung is running around 2,800 Note experience zones in Korea compared to the 2,000 zones it had for the Galaxy S7, which also helps attract more customers. Then there is also the fact that Samsung’s flagship devices have always done well in its home market.

With an IP68 water-resistant design, a large 3500mAh battery, a beautiful Quad HD curved AMOLED screen, and 64GB of base storage, Samsung indeed seems to have a winner on its hand.
