Galaxy SII Sales Reach 20 Million

Samsung's Galaxy S II celebrates 20 million sold, just in time for MWC -- Engadget

Awesome.

The article says it launched in April, but it was actually May 1st/3rd 2011.
Mine arrived on the 6th, it was a great day, and it almost feels like yesterday, time kinda flew.

It was available in from April 2011, got mine end of April.

Impressive numbers though, will easily surpass the Galaxy S.

That's 20million for the whole family though. Wonder if they would break it down to which model and locations.... Doubtful.

The reason I ask is this. In America, Apple would sell way better since, well, there are more Apple supporters there I suspect. With other places, it might be a more fairer competition where people select based on the specifications. So those numbers might be more representative. Just wondering that's all...

Cheers

Congrats samsung. I've been a proud owner for 3 months now. I winded up switching to android because i got tired of the restrictions of iOS. So i decided on the galaxy s 2 because i heard so many good things about.

Actually many are getting tired of apple. Quite a few family members of mine back in the states have made the switch from iphone to galaxy s2.

I think the IP4s is a great phone.... if you jailbreak it

We could root SGS2, but we don't need to since it does pretty much everything a jailbroken IP4s can. But some people still like a phone that is easy to use outside the box regardless of what it can potentially do. Many just use the general functions so jailbreaking is not something they would bother with. My mother got the IP4, and she got it jail broken because somebody told her she should do it. But it won't have mattered at all if she didn't jail break it. I suspect asking her to use Android would have been a worse learning curve.

For me, I wanted the SGS2 because it has a bigger screen and the specs were better. But most important, it isn't right that you need to jailbreak something to be able to use the phone to what it can do and achieve. Android is just more open.

Still.... If not for IPhones, non of our smartphones would be the way it is today. And we should be eternally grateful for that.

As for Samsung, congratulations. They deserve it for making the best Android phone there is... currently.

Cheers
