Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a premium smartphone with many advantages that in a short time has managed to conquer a special place in the history of the South Korean brand and not only for having collected the spiritual legacy of the legendary Note series but also for it be the protagonist of a new (curious) Guinness World Record.
The announcement came today from Samsung India: the record was set on March 5, 2022, and bears the following official title: Most people unboxing simultaneously- multiple venues. In short, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has rightfully entered the book of records for the largest number of unboxing performed simultaneously in different places, more precisely we are talking about 1820 unboxing in 17 different cities (including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ludhiana, Patna, Indore).
The #EpicUnboxing of Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to enter the Guinness World Record
The new Guinness World Record was set by Samsung as part of the #EpicUnboxing event, which was attended only by selected customers who had already pre-ordered their Galaxy S22 Ultra. Participants were able to receive the smartphone in advance of the (local) market launch and in addition, they had access to limited editions including the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 smartwatch and the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 true wireless headphones. All accompanied by a thank you note from the manufacturer.
Aditya Babbar, Senior Director & Head of Product Marketing at Samsung India, commented on this milestone:
It is a really great day for us and I am extremely proud to be part of the team that managed this record-breaking event in 17 cities. I am grateful to all of our epic consumers and fans who have come together to make this day truly historic for Samsung. With #EpicUnboxing we have officially entered the Guinness World Record and we are pleased to be able to celebrate this epic milestone with our fans».
Instead, the following are the statements of Swapnil Dangarikar, Official Adjudicator of GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS:
I am pleased to announce that Samsung India Electronics Private Limited has set a new record for“ Most people unboxing simultaneously- multiple venues ”with 1820 successful entries. This extraordinary event was held in 19 venues and the enthusiastic attendees received their phone and became part of a record. An attempt never made before, I congratulate Samsung on officially becoming incredible!
With this new feat – at this link, the short celebratory video published by the manufacturer -, Samsung has therefore surpassed the primacy established by Xiaomi in 2019 and has remained undefeated ever since.
