Samsung Electronics has just reported that its flagship Galaxy S series has surpassed the accumulated sales record of 100 million units globally.
The South Korean firm said it achieved this feat only 2 years and 7 months after its launch in May 2010. Galaxy S III is selling at much faster rate of 30 million in 5 months and 40 million in 7 months, after becoming a million seller in only 50 days after its release last May.
Currently, its average daily sales are 190,000 units. The driving force behind Samsung Electronics’ rise to the top on the global smartphone market is Galaxy S II which is gaining ground as a steady seller hitting the sales of over 40 million in only 20 months.
The Galaxy S series achieved the 100 million sales milestone faster than Apple’s iPhone. It took about four years for Apple to sell more than 100 million iPhones.
