Samsung released (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_ltea_goes_official_for_sk_telecom-news-6278.php) its Galaxy S4 LTE-A in Korea a couple of weeks ago and the company has already managed to ship 150,000 units of its latest smartphone in its homeland. That might not be a particularly impressive number compared to the over 20 million units sold by the original Galaxy S4, but when you consider that it's a single market and just two weeks of availability the figure is certainly decent.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_e330s_galaxy_s4_lte_a-5542.php) comes with the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC rather than the Snapdragon 600 that powers the international version, but is otherwise identical to its predecessor. The international (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_galaxy_s4-5125.php) variant comes with a 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, 2 GB of RAM, 13 megapixel rear camera, 32 GB in-built memory, microSD card slot and IR port.
The fact that Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A is able to make use of the SK Telecom's new super-fast network speeds and equally well supported by the Samsung's strong marketing campaign has certainly helped push those sales numbers so high.
