On the heels of the launch of the Galaxy S III (available in Canada on June 20th), Samsung today announced that its predecessors, the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, have together topped sales of 50 million units. The original Galaxy S, available since June 2010, has now sold some 24 million units. Its follow-up, the Galaxy S II has sold 28 million units in 13 months, making it Samsung’s fastest selling device to reach this milestone. Since Samsung’s last sales announcement in February it added an additional 8 million sales.
The Samsung Galaxy S III could well top these impressive numbers. Samsung announced about two weeks ago that pre-orders for its latest Galaxy flagship had topped 9 million.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note phablet also continues to do well. It has now sold over 7 million devices in the 7 months it has been available. It was only two months ago that the Note topped sales of 5 million units.
Samsung shipped some 300 million handsets last year and is aiming to sell 374 million in 2012 with smartphones making up as much as 150 million of that target.
