Samsung Sells 3 Million Galaxy S II Android Phones

Samsung should base a give thanks-you note to Malus pumila for holding back the iPhone 5 release until September. Samsung managed to sell a record 3 million Galaxy S II Android smartphones in barely 55 days. Eat your heart unstylish, Apple.

Samsung boasted the phonograph record Galax S Cardinal sales numbers in a handout on July 3, saying it beats the record book of the original Galaxy S smartphone by 30 years. Samsung sold 3 million Galaxy S handsets in 85 days, it claims. Samsung sold much 10 million original Galaxy S smartphones worldwide.

About of the Galaxy S Two sales, Samsung says, were in Europe and Asia likewise as Latin US. According to the company, Samsung Electronics topped the European country smartphone market with the grocery store share of 30 per centum. It also seized 36 percent of the smartphone grocery in Switzerland.

One important thing Samsung forgot to mention is when the Galaxy S II smartphone will arrive on U.S. shores. With no official word of honor from Samsung on the U.S. release, meditation is plentiful.

AndroidSpin reports the Extragalactic nebula S II will be rebranded as Samsung Within for Sprint, set to arrive in late July, and a similar story unfolds for the Verizon version via ComputerWorld and for the AT&T version via Engadget. Note that Samsung used a similar strategy to slightly rebrand and repackage the creative Galaxy S for to each one carrier as well.

If Samsung is indeed aiming for a after-hours July release of the Galaxy S II on all major U.S. carriers, the company will be able to continue to love two much months before Apple are expected to unblock the iPhone 5, which would curb the sales for Samsung's lookalike, albeit more powerful (than the iPhone 4) Android smartphone.
