Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon Wireless)It appears Samsung has reached its lofty sales goal for the Galaxy S III, according to a new report.
Korea's Yonhap News, citing Samsung's president of information technology and mobile communication, Shin Jong-kyun, reported on Sunday that the firm has shipped 10 million Galaxy S III units since launching the flagship smartphone less than two months ago. Jong-kyun did not provide specific numbers, but the news outlet pointed out that this translates to about 190,000 Galaxy S III smartphones being sold every day.
For comparison's sake, it reportedly took the Galaxy S III's predecessor, the Galaxy S II, five months to reach the 10 million mark. A Samsung spokesperson did not respond to several requests for comment on Monday about the report.
JK Shin, head of Samsung's mobile division, back in June predicted that Samsung would sell more than 10 million Galaxy S III smartphones by July. Samsung is experiencing a "huge surge of momentum," thanks in large part to its latest smartphone, though not to the same degree as Apple is expected to see for its next-gen iPhone, according to a just-released survey from ChangeWave Research.
The Galaxy lineup has been a huge success for Samsung. In February, Samsung announced that it had sold 20 million Galaxy S II devices since its April 2011 launch. In October, Samsung said it had sold more than 30 million Galaxy S devices overall.
Earlier this year, Samsung bested Nokia as the top phone maker in the world for the first time in 14 years. The Galaxy S III boasts a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED 1,280-by-720 display, and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It features an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.9-megapixel front-facing one.
