Samsung sells 10 million Galaxy S II devices in just 5 months

By on September 25, 2011 at 1:02pm in Mobile News


Samsung has just announced that the Android-powered Galaxy S II has sold 10 million handsets worldwide, blowing past their previous record. Samsung stated in a press release that over the past 8 weeks they have doubled their sales from 5 million to 10 million. To put this into perspective, the original Galaxy S reached the 10 million mark in 7 months, the Galaxy S II has surpassed this milestone in just short 5 months. There’s no specific numbers for Canada, but other country sales are the following: South Korea has sold 3.6 million, 3.4 million in Europe and over 10 countries (probably including Canada) made up over 3 million.

JK Shin of Samsung said “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… In just five months the GALAXY S II has seen tremendous growth, reflecting its tremendous popularity with customers around the world, who in selecting the GALAXY S II as their device of choice have driven the device’s strong market position globally.”

In Canada, Bell, Virgin and SaskTel all sell the Galaxy S II. Rogers will be hopping on board soon with the LTE-enabled Galaxy S II, meanwhile TELUS is launching the powerful Galaxy S II X (Hercules) soon.

  4. Considering that they have just released it in the US and Rogers and Telus are getting it soon, expect their sales to be even better. It helps that many would agree that our is the best phone on the market at the moment. (posting from my SG2!)

  5. They could have sold much more if they released in the USA on time. And in Canada, on more providers.

  9. I can see why this statement would be true. There is nothing I can’t throw at my GS2 to bog it down. I can’t wait for the LTE version of this phone.

    • You can’t wait to start paying 5x more* for data?

      *$45 for 1.5GB vs $30 for 6GB

    • @roman129: This may get me some thumbs down; however, don’t punish me for stating my opinion. I’m all about performance. Getting up to 150 mbps on my phone is worth paying a little extra for superior performance. That must be just me, though.

    • @roman129: How would you even know the data pricing??? Rogers stated the data pricing is for their data sticks. Never did they release data pricing for cellphones yet.

  10. So roughly 6 Billion dollars in revenues, prolly at least half of it in profit. Yeap, makes sense why Apple wants its ApplePie back and sues.

    • @Tannis: The Hercules has a bigger screen, faster network speeds up to 42 mbps, and NFC support. My GS2 from Bell only gets me up to 21 mbps with no NFC support.

  15. Waiting for the Slide. S II is a beast of a phone, doesn’t quell my thirst for a physical keyboard on an Android… with Rogers…
