Galaxy S III Moves 10 Million Units In 2 Months

In surprising news Samsung’s newest flagship device the Galaxy SIII has moved more than 10 million devices in less than 2 months after it release. How many units will the Galaxy SIII move before the quarter is over???


Samsung’s newest Android flagship smartphone — the Galaxy S III — has surpassed 10 million sales in less than two months after going on sale, selling at a rate predicted by the company just last month, Samsung president Shin Jong-kyun (JK Shin) has revealed.
The Samsung executive shared the milestone with Korean new agency Yonhap News (without giving exact numbers), which translates roughly into 190,000 Galaxy S III devices being sold each day and reaching the figure in less than half the time of its predecessor — the Galaxy S II.

In June, Shin said that he expected the Galaxy S III to reach 10 million units sold in July, seeing an added boost as the handset went on sale in the US and other significant markets. By the end of the month, the device will be on sale via 296 carriers in 145 countries worldwide.
In terms of comparative figures, the Samsung Galaxy S II chalked up 3 million pre-orders. The company recently revealed that it and predecessor the Galaxy S, have together passed 50 million sales across the planet.
Samsung now counts itself as the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world, becoming the chief rival to Apple in terms of sales and demand for devices.
The Korean company is rumoured to be scheduling an August launch for its next-generation Galaxy Note, as it looks to tempt consumers around the time that Apple is rumoured to be releasing its next iPhone.

Motorola has sold only 100,000 of these Android 3.0-powered devices, according to estimates by Deutsche Bank, reported by Business Insider.

Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette released a research note on Tuesday that says the Xoom's sales "have been disappointing."

While Apple hasn't yet released iPad 2 sales figures, analysts trumpeted the device's successful first weekend, and sales have reportedly remained strong. Most estimates from the iPad 2's first weekend fall between 350,000 to 400,000.

According to Forbes, Faucette also announced similar results for the Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone, which can dock with a laptop and costs about $500 with the unique connector included. Faucette suggested that the Atrix's relatively high price point may be holding it back.
