Samsung Galaxy S2: five million units shipped

A few weeks before its launch in the United States, and with it already available in China, the Galaxy S2 Smartphone has already passed through 5 million units shipped in the first three months.

After the success of the Samsung Galaxy S in 2010, which contributed to making Samsung a major player in the Smartphone’s sector, its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S2, was unveiled at February’s Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona. The main objective of this phone is to also become a top of the range device of reference.

Launched in May in its local market of South Korea – with Samsung highlighting its excellent reception, the device was able to quickly pass through more than one million shipped units before being launched in various European markets in June.


5 million in three months
Helped by the performance of the top of the line Smartphone and an impressive marketing campaign, more than 3 million devices were quickly sold by early July – making Samsung’s objective of selling 10 million units by the end of the year a possibility.

At the end of July, just after its appearance on the Chinese market and before its American launch – a major Smartphone’s market, Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S2 has sold more than 5 million units.

Very thin and with a very good looking tactile display, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is powered by a dual core processor making it a reference among Android handsets. It should contribute to making Samsung the leading Smartphone manufacturer in the world, taking advantage of Nokia’s ongoing slump while they prepare their transition to Windows Phone.
