Electroland, Self-Sufficient Phones 'Popular'... Sales Volume Increases 9 Times

On the 8th, models are introducing self-supplied devices at the Yongsan Main Store of Electron Land Power Center in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] E-Land Electronics announced on the 8th that the sales volume of unlocked devices surged this year as well, following last year, due to their great popularity.

According to E-Land Electronics, the sales volume of unlocked devices in the first quarter of this year increased about ninefold compared to the same period last year. This is attributed to the high demand for Samsung Galaxy S22 models released in February.

E-Land Electronics expects the number of consumers purchasing unlocked devices to increase as more smart consumers seek reasonable spending. In fact, unlocked devices allow consumers to choose any mobile plan without being tied to a specific carrier, leading to a growing trend of combining them with budget phone plans.

An E-Land Electronics official said, “For consumers who rarely use mobile carrier membership benefits or frequently change smartphones, we recommend purchasing unlocked devices and using the desired mobile plans,” adding, “We plan to prepare various products and promotions to meet changing consumer preferences.”
