Since Samsung introduced the first Galaxy S in 2010, the Korean manufacturer
has managed to reach global shipments of more than 100 million Galaxy S Android
smartphones. Samsung today announced it has reached a new milestone with its
Galaxy S brand initiative thanks to the recent success of the Galaxy S III.
While the Galaxy S III reached 20 million channel sales - the number of phones
sold to retailers, not how many were sold to consumers - in its first 100 days
of availability in May 2012, the device has since doubled that total and
surpassed the 40 million channel sales mark.
The Samsung Galaxy S II also reached 40 million units when it was released in
2011, and the original Galaxy S surpassed 24 million channel sales in 2010.
Samsung's explosive growth in the smartphone market is directly linked to the
success of the Galaxy S line. The company's first Android smartphone, the i7500 released in
2009, did little to threaten then-leading Android manufacturer HTC, but the
increasing popularity of the Galaxy S has pushed Samsung beyond not only
struggling HTC, but former leaders Apple and Nokia as well.
