Samsung breaks the world record for selling most Android phones because of Galaxy S

[News]10 million Galaxy S phones sold worldwide
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/03/samsung-reaches-goal-10-million-galaxy-s-phones-sold-worldwide/
Samsung reaches goal: 10 million Galaxy S phones sold worldwide
Can't say we're surprised -- after all, last time we checked in the tally was hovering around 9.3 million -- but now Samsung has officially met its goal of 10 million Galaxy S phones sold around the globe. That's less than seven months since the device first hit the market, which by Sammy's fuzzy math averages to about one unit for every two seconds it's been on sale. According to Samsung Tomorrow, North America contributed the most with 4 million in sales, followed by Europe at 2.5 million. Let there be cake, and once that's over, let there be progress on those Froyo updates.

This phone rocks for sure man!

Galaxy S Powwa! This a really great phone though.

make it 10 million and 1
its avery nice phone

They actually only sold 2.5m but they count the three replacements everyone's had so far

Haha, there is no replacement counting, just pure new Galaxy S handsets which were in the count.

Good for them, I will never buy another after my experience with the Bell Vibrant. Pretty sure I am not alone either.. And since the US users are getting pissed still waiting for 2.2 on all their Galaxy S phones I doubt many of them will either. Enjoy it while it lasts Samsuck.

for sure it's an amazing phone, yeah custom roms defenitely makes it an invulnerable gadget in a sense of reliability.

There is a link in the article about the Galaxy S2. That looks nice, 4.5" Super AMOLED 2, 1.2GHz dual core, yippee.

great fone but were is my OFFICIAL FROYO ...i am a vibrant user and using a Rom to enjoy my FROYO ROM NEROv2

It was more important for them to sell 10m phones than give us froyo lol.....

While I hate to be devils advocate, I bet a fair few of these were DOA's (at least 10-15%) and they would have accounted for these in sales numbers for sure.
So technically speaking, approx 8.5million would be in the hands of users..
Out of interest, I wonder if the DOA rate was higher-lower than the iphone 4's rates??

I saw a report a few weeks back that stated something along the lines of (don't quote me on this):
- iPhone had amongst the lowest direct failure rate (e.g. internal memory decides to fail).
- iPhone had amongst the highest indirect failure rate (e.g. you drop the phone and it shatters). Other phones held up much better in these scenarios.

Having alot of fun with this discussion over at the I9100 forums. So I'm posting it here so we can speculate on the new phone which seems beastly.
It also seems to look more like our phone do to the navigation buttons.

Yes, but Samsung's Galaxy S series of phones have always had the latest and greatest features available at the time of their release. This shouldn't be any different.
Those features are going to become standard on high-end phones by mid-2012
Edit: Only thing I disagree with is the 2GHz. That's just not practical.
Transformer prime runs at 1.3-1.4?GHz on Tegra3 and gets ~8 hours of battery life. That's with a tablet-sized battery. GS3 probably will ship with 1.2GHz or something, and it'll be up to XDA devs to push it to its' potential.

I have a hard time getting excited about new Samsung phones, because it seems like they always take forever to get released in the US.
I'm guessing an unannounced SGS3 probably won't be available on US carriers for until Christmas time. By then it's no longer exciting.

the galaxy 3 will be next year ?

probably will be out in the next few months.
Won't be available subsidized by a US carrier until November.

will be nice to view new generation galaxy s2 secend year 2012

That has like nothing on the sides to protect the screen. I'm not hating... I'm actually looking forward to the next in the GS line but I really hope that's just an early prototype.

should I use my upgrade for a GS2 or wait for the GS3?

waiting for the S3 is the better choice i think .Other information say that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is with Quadcore-CPU, ICS, HD-Display and 12-MP-Camera
in February should Samsung release it or give us new information
It Rumors thet the S3 should be showing on the MWC 2012
The Quadcore-Prozessor of Galaxy S3 should be clocking at 1,5 or 1,6 GHz . The Special is the improvment in 3D. The Display should be an Super-AMOLED-HD-Display with 1.280 x 1.024and 326 ppi .
I hope its all true
here you see my source where i get the information there are more pictures but its in German because im a German but i translatet the informations.

If it won't be Announced on MWC 2012 then it won't be released by Summer and this kinda sucks as I was looking forward to upgrade my aged Galaxy S but wanted to get S3 instead of almost year old S2

Specs are being kept top secret and these guys at Samsung are very tight lipped about it.

Is that stock note? Filled with bloatware and useless stuff that makes it so slow?

note for the win

I was really considering the One X before i watch this video (even though I don't have a clue what he is saying ) but after seeing this it's like there is a HUGE difference in screen size!!
I was thinking 0.6 wouldn't be that much to lose but it seems it is, damn you Note

Yeah I thought exactly the same but screen size on ONE X seems a lot smaller and I think we are all doomed to wait for Galaxy Note II or so!!!

I still say this phone is going to have major battery complaints.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I'm going to get One X when it is on sale in the UK and sell my Note. As much as I enjoy using the Note the last 5 months and still think the Note's screen and expendable memory is great benefit compared to the One X. I'm mainly changing for the 4.0 software shipped with HTC. Had Samsung kept their promise of ICS update by end of April, I'd be happy with keep on using Note, but I'm starting to get sick with general slowness of Gingerbread.

The pic alone should be sufficient to see how this comparison does not make any sense as all the others comparing the Note with "the rest"...
The Note is THE SOLE AND ONLY ACTUALLY USABLE SMARTPHONE TODAY, the One X is just one of the other countless, useless stupidphones I am no more interested in.

Most concerning part of htc one x is battery.
Does 1800 mAh battery will enough for 4.7inch device?
Note have 2500 mAh
One more thing i suspect is GPS, note have dual support gps + glonass, n thats y mote having marvelous gps fix, hardly i do have read complain about this, i think one x don't have glonass.
No memory card slot also annoying part for one x.
Some positive thing is powerful processor, n preinstalled ICS for htc x.
Overall i do stick with note only, if i explain just one reason, can't compromise screen size anymore.

He basically put down some specs and display comparison. He has that the one x, has that outsticking camera is a minus for the phone since it more likely gonna scratch. He also said that the screen viewing angle is almost edge on edge but NOTE is slightly better. Both are fast phones. Also his conclusion is the HTC one x is a great phone smaller better pocketable but the Note is still the slightly better all around phone. But the size can be a issue with some. And I didn't translate it word for word just a short version.
Samsung Note

Ketan words made me remember some wise words:
Someone said: "Size don't matter".
Well, either this person had a small penis or didn't had a galaxy note.

I'm going to ask my Austrian friend to watch and translate the video.

Yeah, that's almost right - sorry, i do not own the phone, that was a hands-on with pre-series and i cannot make another english version.

New Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked Picture

Okay folks. What do you all think? Is this the Samsung Galaxy S III? The image was leaked on a number of Korean blogs. I also would note that Eldar Murtazin, who claims to have seen the device said this about this recent leak: "no comments ". On previous leaks he said things like "looks close, but that's not it" and "no, that's not it." Why would he say "no comment" to this one? And that smiley face. Hmm. Very interesting

I honestly think that the screen is a bit too big compared to the device size. This is my personal opinion about the screen so please don't hate me. But overall the device sounds very nice and I'm sure it will be another big hit when it comes out.

Tierd of rumours I want this phone now!
It looks awesome from what u can see on this pic tho

Samsung confirmed to be 4.6 inch screen read more here:http://www.sammobile.com/2012/03/28/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-to-have-a-4-6-super-amoled-plus-hd-display/

Nope, don't think it's real, i expect it just to have ICS and a soft buttons, little thinner, better screen

CAN NOT WAIT!!! I love my nexus s but this machine is going to be amazing. Biggest thing for me on this device will be the non-pentile 720p screen! Can't wait for the CM crew to crack it after it is released and get flashing!!!

That's really disappointing if that is indeed the final design. Hopefully that is the SGS 2 Plus and not the SGS3.

Yep, this just looks like a very plain design. I was expecting something more creative from Samsung..

Yeah I call bs

Looks a lot like: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_leaked_info_suggests_a_midmay_launch-news-4027.php
GSMArena seems to suggest that this is indeed the Galaxy M, which could be seen as the successor to the Galaxy S II, but is in fact a midrange device. This could leave the top spot open for a true successor later this year.

LOL what hmmm disappointing design .........

I wish this was fake. But if you look at a few of the leaked pictures from the last few weeks and watch that video this looks pretty genuine. Let's just hope this wasn't the final chosen design ....

If that isn't the real sgs3 I'm betting that it will be extremely similar. Especially in design and form factor. Anybody that thinks it will have a radical new design and styling has rocks in their head. Samsung won't stray too far from the sgs 1 & 2 design style which has been so successful for them. This is also the reason they won't part with touchwiz. . Too much change risks alienating existing customers and may prevent them from upgrading. One of the reasons I got the gs2 is because of the simple minimalist design, I would be very disappointed if the final form factor of the gs3 isn't very similar to the gs2. Would seriously consider changing manufacturors.

The report from CNET seems to support that this is indeed the SGS3 we're looking at.

That is the S3 i believe.

If they want to fight wtit ONE (X/S) series this one will loose, thats why i think its not the SGS3, it may be some other "Galaxy" that we dont know of yet. Remember that Samsung copyrighted 6 phone names in the past month
This is for sure not the SGS3

Doubt the SGS3 will loose to the One X, considering it's the official phone of the London Olympics.
Please Samsung, why did you have to show off a sexy looking device at CES and then give us this(I know it was faked, but the design is still beautiful)?
What could have been the sexiest phone ever:
