The Samsung Galaxy S3 took the world by storm when it released this
past summer. Sales are still going strong, and Samsung has found its
bread and butter in the mobile world. Many didn’t know if that same
success would eventually roll over into the Samsung Galaxy Note 2
series. Still relatively young, Samsung started perfecting this phablet
phase back in 2011, and while the Samsung Galaxy Note was no failure, it
certainly hadn’t reached the same success the Galaxy S line did.
The line is starting to blur, however, as it appears the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is quickly becoming a hit. In the short 20 days since it’s been available the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has apparently sold 3 million units. Sure, Apple might be able to sell that many iPhones in just a week or probably even a day, but considering how large this device is up against more slender and small options those seem like some very good numbers.
And
consider this: most of North America haven’t even gotten a chance to
buy the phone yet. Verizon and AT&T customers won’t have a chance to
buy it until later this month, while those in Canada are only just now
beginning to get their hands on it. Add in all the smaller countries in
Europe, Asia and South America that might not yet have it and we’d say
the Note 2 is doing pretty damn good for itself already.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s Galaxy S3 has already eclipsed 30 million units sold to date, and with the holiday season looming it looks like they might be in line for another surge in sales after those who missed the summer rush finally get a chance to buy one. Samsung maintains four out of its best five weeks came after the launch of the iPhone, a figure that might indicate brand loyalty for Apple is finally starting to wane a little bit (though there’s really no telling what, exactly, it comes down to).
Whichever way you put it, Samsung has found no issue getting through the iPhone launch and this further shows why it now has a vast majority of the world’s major carriers in the palms of its hands (yep, even in the cellular mess that we enjoy here in America).
