SAMSUNG GALAXY S II SALE REACHES 10 MILLON IN 5 MONTHS

Since its debut in April, Samsung claims to have moved 10 million Galaxy S IIs -- not quite iPhone numbers (which sold 20 million units in Q2 alone), but still quite impressive. It's especially noteworthy since, at the end of July, only five million had passed into customers' hands. In just eight weeks the number of Galaxy S IIs sold has doubled, and Sammy's flagship device has yet to even make a dent here in the US. At this rate the S II is set to far eclipse its ubiquitous predecessor's sales figures, which took over seven months to hit the same milestone.

Samsung Galaxy S II has all the chances to be crowned “smartphone of the year 2011,” and we told you this as soon we got our hands on the device. Well, now it seems we are dealing with a hit and I’m not saying this, but the sales reports of the model.

Samsung Galaxy S II is at the moment the top selling smartphone running on Android operating system. The Samsung’s device was sold in 3 million copies in just 55 days from the official launch, a record for an Android device.

Anyway the Samsung Galaxy S II sales are nowhere near the ones registered by iPhone 4, 1.7 million Apple enthusiasts pre-ordered the device only 3 days after the pre-orders were officially opened, but Samsung Galaxy S II overtook iPhone 4 in certain Asian countries and in Great Britan. It’s now doubt that Samsung Galaxy S II is the Android smartphone of the moment and everyone expects the sales to further increase in the near future.

Samsung sold the most Galaxy S II devices in Europe, where the device was hugged by a lot of smartphone lovers. Samsung Galaxy S II is by far the best rival of iPhone so far, so if you are considering buying an Android smartphone, then SGS2 seems to be the best option, even though lots have criticized its battery life.

Today we learned that Samsung sold not less than 3 million Galaxy S II units in less than 55 days since the official launch. Samsung smashed their own record, managing to ship out 50,000 daily, with a considerable help from the European market. The sales reports will sure make Google celebrate, as Galaxy S II, just like it’s forerunner, will sure make Android even more famous and help the platform spread even more.

The next step (and the next record do break) is reaching 10 million Samsung Galaxy S II sold units, in order to overtake the first Galaxy S. Samsung Galaxy S was sold in over 10 million units last year, and if the dual core smartphone’s evolution on the market continues with the same pace, the SGS’ record will sure be gunned down.
