After the company’s mobile division head, JK Shin, said it expected sales of 10 million Galaxy S IIIs during July, it is perhaps not too much of a surprise that the company has now confirmed sales of 20 million units in just 100 days following the device’s launch. That’s roughly 200,000 units a day. To put it in perspective, the S III is selling about three times as fast as the Galaxy S II, which we found we heard in February took about 10 months after its release to hit the 20 million-unit mark.
Samsung also broke down the sales by region: 4 million units for North America; 6 million in Europe; 4.5 million in Asia; and 2.5 million at home in Korea. In just over three months, the S III has almost reached the S II’s 28 million units sold to date. Samsung also announced a few new colors for the device including Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black and Titanium Gray:
