Samsung achieved annual mobile handset sales of 300 million units for the first time in Samsung’s history.
“We are incredibly proud of this record-breaking sales milestone and have exceeded the annual target announced early this year, which is testament to the enduring appeal of Samsung phones with consumers around the world,” said Paulo Ferreira, Head of Mobile Product and Business Solutions at Samsung SA.
“Our performance in the mobile industry remains unrivalled. Samsung is the only manufacturer bringing such an exceptional choice of handsets to customers across a broad range of platforms including Android, Windows Phone and Samsung’s own bada platform — and on a truly global scale. We look forward to extending this success going into 2012.”
Samsung’s 2011 sales results cap a hugely successful year for Samsung across its entire handset portfolio. The company’s flagship Galaxy S range of products – Galaxy S and Galaxy S II – contributed significantly to the success, as the products have continued to gain popularity among consumers and propelled the Galaxy brand to one of the most recognised mobile brands in the world.
The Galaxy S II, launched in 2011, set a new sales record for Samsung, generating 10 million sales quicker than any mobile device in the company’s history.
