The recent performance-throttling controversy has taken its toll on the flagship phones. According to The Korea Times, sales of the company's flagship phones have declined in their home country.
There is no data available to show how much the phone has dropped due to the GOS issue. The subsidies for these devices have been increased by the mobile carrier partners in South Korea.
The subsidies for the S22 and S22 Plus have been raised by both carriers. This is the same amount that the two companies are giving to customers who buy the S22 Ultra.
The amount of subsidies that will be provided is something that our company and mobile carriers decided together after a consultation.

The subsidies on offer are more than triple what they were previously.
While industry watchers see the subsidy increase as part of efforts to address the decline in sales of the best Android phones, an official from a local mobile carrier offered a different viewpoint.
There is a view that the GOS issue adversely affects the sales of the S22, but there is no clear decline in sales volume.
There has been controversy over the GOS, but there are two high-end smartphone brands, so we don't see a clear sales decline.
The performance of over 10,000 apps and games was slowed by GOS, which comes pre-installed on the phones, when the scandal broke last month.
A fix for the problem will be promised in a future update. The company released a patch a few days later.
It did not seem to help the sales of the S22 phones in their home market.
