Samsung Galaxy S sales top 9.3 million

In a statement earlier this week, Samsung announced that global sales of its popular Galaxy S line of Android phones have reached 9.3 million units. Samsung also stated that sales in its home country of South Korea have topped the 2 million mark, making the Galaxy S more popular than Apple’s iPhone, which has sold roughly 1.8 million units to date. Samsung announced in October that Galaxy S sales had surpassed 7 million units worldwide, and it said sales would reach 10 million units before the year was out. Samsung may end up falling just short of its projections, but the Galaxy S is still wildly successful — in fact, it’s the most popular Android line in the world right now. Samsung stated earlier this month that it had sold over 1 million Galaxy Tab units as of the end of November, making its first Android tablet a success as well.

        samsung failing to provide updates is not google’s fault.. nor does it detract from the fact that Android is awesome… but samsung does deserve scorn and contempt for failing to deliver what they promised in a timely manner.

        Samsung is dead wrong, but let’s be honest if Android released new iterations less often how would that increase the User Experience? When people say ignorance is bliss it’s just a figure of speech. Take Gingerbread off the market and all the fragmenters would have nothing to say but I would be missing my gingerbread keyboard and all of the devs would be working on froyo roms still.

        The Nexus S has official 2.3 my Epic has official 2.1 and a leaked 2.2. But guess what, the Nexus S launch didnt make my phone stop doing the things that it was advertised as doing.

    • Tomm

      What’s stopping them? Oh, wait, they made that decision themselves.

      • i told u so .com

        shut up you dont know anything, and iphone still sells more in total then samsung, LG, and moto does on all networks. Chew on that for awhile fanboy.

      • Laid Back Lifestyle

        OH NOOOOOOEZZZZ INSULTING PEOPLEZZ ON THEZ INTERWEBZZ!!!

        your so hardcore

        shut up you dont know shit

      Who cares about Crapple!!!!

      • Todd

        ^^ intelligence at its finest. Ugh.

    • i told u so.com

      exactly well said, and I dont even own or like Iphone like that. Though it is def a better product then any android crap thats on the market. Once Webos launches Apple, HP, and Microsoft will run this market due to each company owning their own OS, with a ecosystem. Android is a fad, and because nothing came out this year, it was the only thing to buy. Also as stated once Iphone hits Verizon the android BS will see how fast sales can plumet in a 6 month period and then become exstinct.

      • your a fuckn idiot

        are you fuckn retarded? Have you even used to android? your comparing WebOS? Oh yeah b.c WebOS SAVED Palm right? the palm pre and pixi sales were just spectacular. god you must be one of the stupidest people ive ever read on this site. And Microsoft is going to be running the market? Yeah good luck with that Windows 7 phone sales suck and they dont hv basic features like copy & paste yet. Gr8 fuckn phone. How many apps does windows 7 have compared to android? Or even WebOS? WebOS has been around for awhile and it MAYBE has 1/10 of the apps ANdroid does.

        The only thing your right about is that apple will run the market like they are right now. But to say that android sales will plummet makes you a retard.

      • way over your head

        nice.

      • KCRic

        Didn’t the iFail 4 come out this year? Oh, and the iSad too? Guess it’s not such a fad now…

  • Scott

    And how many of those have 2.2? Samsung is a joke. Cheap plastic, GPS problems, lag problems, Touchcrap and lack of updates. I’m glad I returned my Captivate.

    • Anonymous

      My Epic has stable 2.2 from Sprint no GPS problems, no lag thanks to best processor on the market, I took off touch wiz in seconds literally, and my phone is solid as a tank… Blame Tmo, I would take my Epic over any phone out anywhere.

  • Seabass

    I wish US would have this pictured phone soooo much sexier compared to my captivate.

  • Anonymous

    If they don’t get their act together with the OS updates, watch people run to another manufacturer like flies next year.

    I am sure LG can offer a display just as good.

    All these moronic manufacturer that want to waste money in building skins rather than develop better hardware quality, design and variations. These idiots have forgotten so soon why they left their in-house development for Android.

    And today you hear of Motorola picking up a mobile cloud services company – jackasses.

  • Theprofessional05

    Considering the galaxy phones are all pretty much the same phone with different cases on them, it is just as good as any Iphone period. No I dont personally care for the Galaxy as I use the Droid X, I still dont like the fact that all the Iphone fans seem to think that its a bad thing to be able to choose the form factor that works for you and not the one size fits all approach.

  • IPHONEHATERCUZTHEYSUCKASS

    ya too bad the 2.2 update bricked my phone along with countless others. Stupid samsung. also FUCK iphones.

    • RickJames

      As you are complaining about your bricked Android. LOLOLOL

    Thanks to Google none of these phones will count as American exports. Hope you american google fanboys have fun putting down american companies that actually add to the US economy (Apple).

    In the future you will tell your grand children how America once led the global economy. That is if they understand a word you say in english.

    F Google!

    9.3 million sold. Yet, none in the US have 2.2. Way to go Samsung.

    • Bringit

      But – Android is OPEN. Open. Google open.

      • Michael Scrip

        Android is open… until the manufacturers and carriers get their hands on it.

        I bet Google is just THRILLED that Bing is the default search engine… and you can’t even install Google Search…

        Yeah… open…

  • Donny

    9.3 million devices that will never updates. Sounds like 9.3 million failures.

  • Petey

    they probably would sell more, if they didn’t have that bad reputation of not updating the latest android to their phones.

  • Abc

    9.3 mill people who will never buying another samsung product

    • Michael Scrip

      And why should they? The beauty of Android is that it runs on many different brands of phones.

      I see what you’re saying though… if the Samsung sucks… they might not by another one. But most people are more interested the name “Droid Incredible”… they don’t really care that it’s from HTC.

      Back in the flip-phone days… I never knew too many people who only bought Motorola phones or LG phones.

      I went from a Motorola StarTac, to an LG flip-phone, to a Samsung flip-phone, to a Blackberry Curve.

      You can buy a Dell one time, and an HP the next. It still runs Windows.

  • Mgl323

    Dear Samsung,

    You got till next week to fulfill your promise to bring Android 2.2 to all of your Galaxy S devices.

    P.S Clock is ticking..

  • Westex74

    great that they aren’t counting the ones that were returned for various quality control issues. Those are some poorly built phones with a fantastic screen.

  • AnnDroid

    I had the Captivate for 27 days. Beautiful display, never could get the gps to work. In reading their forums, it seems it still isn’t fixed.

    • dasfad

      i’ve used some roms with pretty good, gps locks.

    Count my Vibrant, please.

  • Stalyn

    We did it.

    If your with AT&T you will have to wait until Q2 so they can remove some of the features they don’t want you to use like the mobile hot spot you can get with the update. If you want it now check out the XDA forums and be ahead of the curve.
