It is no new fact that manufacturers all around the world have been desperately trying to break into the huge market niche that Apple has captured for itself since it launched the iPhone. The Samsung Galaxy S is one such device with a promising future. This Android powered device was well received by consumers all around the world and now Samsung has announced that it has sold more than 10 million units of the Galaxy S, in just less than seven months, which substantiate the fact that this device can be a competitor in the market.
Jason Kim, a Samsung spokesman said:
It’s the company’s most successful smartphone, devices that can play music, videos and surf the web
So things worked out really well for Samsung regardless of the fact that it chose the Android platform to compete directly with Apple’s iOS, however looking at these numbers, it is hard to deny that Samsung has not made a remarkable achievement is such a short span of time as after the end of an exhaustive marketing campaign, the company shipped 1 million Galaxy S smartphones in the United State alone, within the first month on the market.
Looking at collective numbers for the Galaxy S in other regions, Overall, Samsung has sold 4 million units in North America, 2.5 million in Europe and more than 2 million in South Korea in just less than seven month, which is indeed quite impressive.
