"We have clocked almost 1.4 lakh units as pre-book in the first 24 hours and this is almost two times of Galaxy S22. With an average price of about a lakh of rupees, the turnover on a pre-book is almost Rs. 1,400 crore within 24 hours," he said.

Samsung's moved to make Galaxy S23 in India after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the removal of duty on the import of camera lenses, which is one of the key unique selling propositions of Galaxy S series smartphones.

The phone will come with a set of five cameras with sensors in the range of 12-megapixels to 200-megapixels.

Pullan said that the consumers have responded well to the propositions of S23 be it camera sensors in the phone, high power Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC made available exclusively for Samsung and sustainability factors of using recycled plastic and other components in the device.

Samsung has slashed the price of Galaxy Watch 4 LTE and Galaxy Buds 2 by about 90 percent from Rs. 48,000 to Rs. 4,999 for customers pre-booking high-end Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Pullan said that Samsung has brought in "custom affordability" by bundling Galaxy Watch 4 LTE and Galaxy Bus for Rs. 4,999 as well as providing purchases in 24 instalments without any interest and also through Samsung Finance plus in 15 instalments.
