14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung has managed to sell over 10 million Galaxy devices in its homeland country, the latest reports on the matter suggest.
Apparently, the company managed to top the selling charts in September, ending the month with 57.3 percent market share in the country, a little lower than in August.
However, September marks the third consecutive months during which the leading handset vendor accounts for more than 55 percent of the market in its home country.
In addition to announcing that it sold over 10 million Galaxy devices in South Korea, Samsung also announced sales numbers for each of the handsets involved.
Thus, the Galaxy S II smartphone reached 3.8 million sold units in the country, while the Galaxy S smartphone went up to 3.2 million units.
Clearly, this year's flagship model was a great success, as the company already sold over 10 million units around the world, and is expected to sell much more before the year is over.
The new handset has just debuted in the United States, and when wireless carriers like Sprint and AT&T already added it to their offerings, while T-Mobile should launch it on October 12th.
The mobile phone maker also announced that the sales of its Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet PC reached 600,000 units in South Korea.
The Android device was launched last year in September, but its market performance was underwhelming, it seems.
Before the year is over, the handset vendor should bring new Galaxy devices to the market, including the large Galaxy Note smartphone, or the LTE-enabled flavor of Samsung Galaxy S II.
Moreover, the vendor announced the upcoming availability of more affordable Android phones in the Galaxy family of devices, including the Galaxy R and Galaxy W smartphones, among others.
Samsung has been hard at world with releasing smartphones that can top Apple's iPhone, and newer handsets like Galaxy S II have brought it one step closer to that.
