Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, has announced that the Samsung GALAXY S II (Model: GT-I9100) has passed the 5 million global sales milestone.

The GALAXY S II is Samsung’s flagship smartphone device; a beautifully thin, (8.49mm) and lightweight dual-core smartphone, that combines an unmatched Super AMOLED Plus viewing experience with incredible performance, all on Android – the world’s fastest-growing mobile operating system. The next generation smartphone also includes exclusive access to Samsung’s four new content and entertainment hubs, seamlessly integrated to provide instant access to music, games, e-reading and social networking services.

The 5 million mark has been reached in just 85 days, a rate which is 40 days faster than the original GALAXY S took to reach the same sales mark. This rate is set to accelerate as Samsung has just launched GALAXY S II in China, the world’s largest market.

Since being launched into the retail market in late April, the Galaxy S II has seen tremendous growth.
