Samsung has sold more than 10 million Galaxy S III smartphones in less than two months, Samsung mobile president J.K. Shin told press today. The strong sales are a sign that Samsung will continue to dominate the conversation around Android-based phones.
The company predicted in June that sales would reach the 10 million mark in July. Comparatively, the company’s Galaxy S II smartphone took five months to reach the same milestone.
In our Galaxy S III review, VentureBeat’s Devindra Hardawar called the phone Samsung’s “first no-compromise device that will make iPhone users jealous.” The device features a monster 4.8-inch screen with 720p resolution, an 8-megapixel camera, and 1.9-megapixel front camera. It weighs 4.7 ounces and measures 8.6 millimeters thin.
