Samsung Reached 10 Million Mark Sales of Galaxy S2
Samsung has outdone itself with its global 10 Million sales of Galaxy S2, half the sales of the iPhone in their Q2. It is an impressive feat by itself and it took the Galaxy S over seven months to reach the same level of sales.
It has reached five million in sales last June but after price-drop it got to make way for the Galaxy S2 Plus, it has doubled its sales.
"Since its launch in late April 2011, the GALAXY S II has seen continued sales success, demonstrating Samsung's industry-leading capabilities in - and commitment to - the smartphone market." lauded by JK Shin, president and Head of Samsung's Mobile Communications Business in the press release.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is Samsung's flagship smartphone device powered by Android OS. The light-weight dual-core phone with a Super AMOLED plus touch screen is Samsung's flagship smartphone powered by Android 2.2 (Gingerbread).
With the coming release of the iPhone 5, Samsung's new Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus will be in a long battle. Especially now that Samsung has countersued Apple for patent infringement in Australia.
There would be a long global legal battle between the two and might bar the iPhone 5 in Australia the same way Apple barred the Galaxy tablet from entering Germany.
At the time of the writing of this article, Samsung has told the Federal Court Judge that it intends to launch the 10.1 Galaxy Tab this Friday. The 10.1 Galaxy tab is an Australian version of the US version of the 10.1 Galaxy Tab.
Steven Burley, Apple's legal counsel, claimed that Samsung copied many features of the device and launched their own products. When they are caught, Samsung would try to work around the patents like what they did with the Australian Galaxy Tablet.
If Apple claims another patent breach against the Galaxy S2, Samsung might just make an Australian work-around version of Galaxy S2.
However, all this legal wrangling haven't stopped Apple from using Samsung as a manufacturer in many of their devices ranging from the Mac and to the iPad. This may change as relationships between the two technology companies begin to sour.
