Samsung Crosses the 40 million Sales Milestone

In the past few weeks since the launch of the Apple Inc flagship products iPhone 5S and 5C there has been much talk about then huge size of Samsung Smart-phones. But say what anyone wants the bottom-line is that the Android mobile manufacturer has reportedly sold close to 40 million Galaxy Note devices in the recent two years with a majority of 30 million devices that of Galaxy Note II.
According to a recent report published by Focus Taiwan and stats provided by Sammobile.com the report says that Samsung achieved their 40million milestone within two weeks of making the 38million sales claim.
The recent quarter ended for Apple Inc brings to a close the sales of 31.2 million iPhones (5, 5S and 5C).
When launched, the smartphone market was highly skeptical if the 5.5” huge screened phone ill do any good in the market, since most people though that the phone will not be preferred by users who want to carry a phone and might not also fit into many pockets, however coming over all those fears, Samsung proved otherwise. Not only this, competitors such as Nokia and HTC have since launched phones that are exactly the same size or even larger.
The most successful phone among those phones that helped Samsung hit the 38 million mark was the Samsung Note II that was more than a phone and close to a tablet, also nicknamed (and started the industry trend for) phablets. The Note II phablet became successful right after it was launched into the market and was sold-out as it hit the market as a hot cake. Not only this, just two months down the line from its initial launch the Samsung Galaxy Note II had a sales figure of 5 million.
Having said that, Samsung recently launched their newest phablet into the market with added features, the Galaxy Note III. Samsung’s CEO is positive that the phablet will break the previous record for Note II and will create a new sales record of over 10 million devices sold in the first two months of launch (this is what we all have to wait and watch happen).
The Galaxy Note II (Note III’s predecessor) has a giant screen of 5.5”, comes under the new phone category “phablet”, and is usable with a stylus. But there is more than meets the eye, the phablet is packed with a 1.6GHz processor that helps it tackle multiple apps at once, RAM of 2GB while a storage of 64GB.
