Samsung has today announced that it has sold more than 10 million units of its Android Galaxy S Smartphone in just 7 months and has hit its target of reaching the 10 million mark before the end of 2010.
The Samsung Android powered Galaxy S was launched back in June 2010 and in December Samsung announced the Galaxy S was one of the most popular Android smartphones of the year.
Impressive Sales Milestone
The achievement of selling over 10 million units in such a short span is a testament to the Galaxy S’s popularity and the growing demand for Android smartphones. This milestone is particularly significant considering the competitive landscape of the smartphone market in 2010, which was dominated by major players like Apple and Nokia. The Galaxy S’s success can be attributed to its high-end specifications, sleek design, and the robust Android operating system, which offered users a versatile and customizable mobile experience.
As well as releasing the end of year sales figures for the Galaxy S, Samsung President and mobile division head JK Shin also stated:
“The Galaxy S is the result of our 22 year heritage in the mobile industry.

Today’s milestone shows that we have succeeded: 10 million Galaxy S users around the world are living the Smart Life.”

The Galaxy S was packed with features that set it apart from its competitors. It boasted a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, which provided vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for media consumption. The device was powered by a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, ensuring smooth performance for both everyday tasks and more demanding applications. Additionally, the Galaxy S came with a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording HD video, which was a significant selling point at the time.
Another key feature was the inclusion of Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface, which offered a unique and user-friendly experience. The Galaxy S also supported a wide range of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, making it a versatile device for both personal and professional use. Furthermore, the smartphone’s access to the Android Market (now Google Play Store) allowed users to download a plethora of apps, enhancing the device’s functionality and appeal.
The Galaxy S’s success also paved the way for future iterations of the Galaxy series, which have continued to be popular among consumers. The device’s impact on the market was profound, as it demonstrated Samsung’s ability to compete with established brands and set new standards for Android smartphones.
