Samsung claims great success for Galaxy S smartphones-- the device family reaches sales of over 100 million units according to the company's Flickr page.
This is just 2 years and 7 months after the launch of the original Galaxy S, back in May 2010, or 2 months after the Galaxy S III reached the 30 million sales landmark.
Lifetime Galaxy S II sales total 40m, while a total of 24m Galaxy S were sold.
Such numbers bode well for Samsung-- its Q4 2012 earnings forecast points at record quarterly profits worth $8.3 billion, with smartphone sales outpacing those of its greatest rival-slash-customer, Apple. According to Reuters Samsung "bombarded" the market with 37 devices (counting regional variants) during 2012, leading to the company selling nearly 500 handsets per minute.
In comparison during the same period LG released 24 phones, HTC 18, Nokia 9 and Apple just one.
