It looks like the new Samsung Galaxy S II has become even more of a success for Samsung over the original Galaxy smartphone as the company has announced they have now sold over 10 million Galaxy S II devices worldwide.
It took Samsung just 5 months to sell 10 million Galaxy S II smartphones, and Samsung says it is their fastest selling phone of all time. They also announced that they have sold 3.6 million of the Samsung Galaxy S II in Korea, 3.4 million in Europe, and 2.3 million in Asia.
Impressive Sales Figures
These are impressive numbers, especially considering that the Samsung Galaxy S II has only just gone on sale in the US. The US market is one of the largest and most competitive smartphone markets in the world, and the Galaxy S II’s late entry into this market suggests that Samsung’s sales figures could see a significant boost in the coming months. We suspect Samsung will have much higher figures by the end of the year, especially with the holiday season approaching, which is traditionally a strong period for smartphone sales.
Features and Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy S II boasts a range of features that have contributed to its success. It comes with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, which offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it one of the best displays available on a smartphone at the time. The device is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, which provides smooth performance for multitasking and running demanding applications.
In terms of camera capabilities, the Galaxy S II is equipped with an 8-megapixel rear camera that can record full HD 1080p video, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. The phone also includes 1GB of RAM and comes with either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot.
The Galaxy S II runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with Samsung’s TouchWiz 4.0 user interface layered on top. This combination offers a user-friendly experience with a range of customization options and features such as Samsung’s Social Hub, which integrates social networking services, and the Readers Hub, which provides access to a wide range of e-books, magazines, and newspapers.

It has helped Samsung solidify its position as one of the leading smartphone manufacturers in the world, competing head-to-head with other major players such as Apple and HTC. The strong sales figures in regions like Korea, Europe, and Asia demonstrate the widespread appeal of the Galaxy S II and its ability to cater to diverse consumer preferences.
Looking ahead, Samsung’s ability to innovate and introduce new features will be crucial in maintaining its competitive edge.
