Galaxy S4
The global sales volume of Samsung Electronics’ newest flagship smart phone, the Galaxy S4, surpassed the 40 million unit mark in its first six months in the market.
Shin Jong-kyun, president of the IT and Mobile (IM) Division of the manufacturer, met reporters on October 23 right after the top management meeting and said so. The Galaxy S4 reached the mark about one month earlier than its previous model, the Galaxy S3, did. However, sales are somewhat slowing down now, and it is unclear whether or not it will be able to become the first Samsung smart phone model in history to exceed the 100 million unit mark.
The president also said that the Galaxy Note 3, its strategic item for the second half of this year, is doing well in the global market. He refrained from making any comment about the recent report by China’s CCTV focusing on some problems of Samsung Electronics’ smart phones.
