Samsung Galaxy S II sales roar over 20 million in 10 months

20million since release..36.5 million smartphones in the last quarter...my guess is of the last quarter it sold about 7+million s2 which is still more than any other single Android phone..so not more than 50% but again not marginal as victor says.

its definitely not marginal. they have sold 10 million since october, which means thats all Q4. if they sold 30 million in Q4, then 1/3rd of all their sales were galaxyS2 units. Another good chunk was probably Galaxy1 units, as they still sell quite well on the carriers that still have them.

The sales would be astronomical had they released it in the US earlier.. and if it STILL HAD THE EXYNOS in most of the US versions. But.. I digress.

agree if the US release was at the same or within a a month of the international release then the sales would most like have been much much higher...still not bad considering how many android devices are available

no.. not too shabby in the least. Its still the fastest selling android phone of all time, and from the looks of it, by the time the next report comes out, its going to by the highest selling android of all time. That phone is going to have a very long shelf life for sales (its already proving that).

I think that is because it has carved its niche as a singular product. Just like the iPhone which is known for simply being an iPhone, Samsung has the Galaxy S series as a single identity. The reason why all the other companies are having so much problems is cause they are not organized around the idea of the single thought. HTC had the EVO but they screwed that up to a gimmick. Motorola has the Droid label and its done well for them as a statement but they still muddle the messege. The only real one is Samsung. I think this will change as others have realized this as well and then market share and number of sells will probably be drastically different.

I agree. HTC is supposed to be changing their naming structure this year to keep things under a singular name like samsung/apple does.
DROID is a VZW term though, it has nothing to do with Moto, as pretty much every VZW android phone thats not crap says "DROID" on it. I would assume they would stick with the Razr from now on as it has its own instant brand recognition because of the old phones, which most people liked. I could be wrong though, but thats what I'd do.

There are 43 versions of the iphone for sale in the U.S. Saying there's only one iphone for sale is like saying Ford only sells white SuperCab F-150 medium-bed pickups and nothing else

considering the S1 was also a worldwide launch, where the S2 was international only until October.. and it has doubled its sales since october on the back of its US release.
