Samsung announced yesterday that it has sold 3 million Samsung Galaxy S II (model GT-I9100) smartphones in the 55 days since its April launch. This translates to a Galaxy S II selling every 1.5 second.
“Announced at Mobile World Congress 2011, the GALAXY S II represents our most advanced smartphone to date and demonstrates Samsung’s commitment to deliver premium, market-defining devices,” said JK Shin, President and Head of Samsung’s Mobile Communications Business. “This milestone reflects the continued strong support from our carrier partners around the world who have chosen the GALAXY S II as their flagship Android device.”
Samsung’s previous record holder, the Samsung Galaxy S, had taken 85 days to reach the same record. It has since gone on to sell over 10 million units.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is headed to Canada later this month courtesy of Bell Mobility, SaskTel and Virgin Mobile. No US carrier has announced it yet.
