Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S4 has sold over 10 million units. This mark has been hit in less than a month, faster than the 50 days it took the Galaxy S3, thanks in part to the increased marketing spend on the device.
“We are confident that we will pass more than 10 million sales of the S4 next week. It is selling much faster than the previous model S3,” Samsung Electronics co-CEO Shin Jong-kyun. “Samsung spent 50 days to pass the 10 million sales mark for the S3. The S4 will be Samsung’s first ’10 million seller’ device less than a month after its official debut.”
Strategy Analytics (SA) believes that Samsung was responsible for 95 percent of Android profit during the first three months of 2013. “We believe Samsung generates more revenue and profit from the Android platform than Google does,” said SA’s executive director Neil Mawston.
