14 DAY TRIAL // Galaxy S5, the latest flagship Android-based handset from South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung, reportedly managed to top 10 million units in shipments in the first 25 days of availability.
The info comes from South Korea’s Hankyung and refers to the number of devices that were shipped to channels.
The figure also shows that the new flagship model appears to be already performing better than previous handsets in the Galaxy S series.
As SammyHub points out, Galaxy S4 needed 27 days to achieve this milestone, while Galaxy S III reached 10 million shipments in 50 days. Previously, Galaxy S II reached this figure in five months, whereas the original Galaxy S did it in 7 months.
While the number might not be showing the amount of Galaxy S5 units that landed in users’ hands, it is still impressive and also confirms that the new model is moving towards becoming the best-selling phone in the series.
Galaxy S5 was announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, but it arrived on shelves only in April. The handset has already been launched in over 125 countries out there and should arrive in more in the not-too-distant future.
