14 DAY TRIAL // On Monday, South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics announced officially that it managed to sell a number of no less than 820,000 smartphones in its homeland market during the month of October.
According to the leading handset vendor, the performance allowed it to account for around 43.2 percent market share in the smartphone segment in the country.
However, it appears that this percentage, although impressive, is lower than what Samsung usually reports for the South Korean market.
Since December last year, the mobile phone maker managed to maintain its market share at over 50 percent.
A recent article on Samsung Hub also notes that Samsung confirmed officially cumulative sales figures for its popular Galaxy S phones.
The company managed to sell in South Korea a number of over 1.6 million Galaxy S units since making the phone available for purchase in the local market via SKT.
The handset vendor launched two other Android models in the country, Galaxy U and Galaxy K, which reached 200,000 sold units.
The mobile phone maker is targeting a number of 2 million Galaxy S devices sold in South Korea.
As for the non-smartphone devices, the company confirmed that its Corby series reached 1.6 million units sold, that sales of SHW-A130 went to 570,000 units, and that Nori Series phones went up to 370,000 units.
Last week, the handset vendor also announced officially its performance for the third quarter of the ongoing year, and unveiled that it managed to sell over 7 million Galaxy S devices worldwide since the initial release.
At the same time, the company said that its Wave devices proved quite popular two, with more than 2 million of them being sold in the time frame.
In South Korea, Samsung's high-end devices have a powerful competitor in the form of Apple's iPhone 4 model, which went on sale in the country several weeks ago, following the launch of iPhone 3GS about a year ago.
