Less than a month after releasing its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, Samsung claims sales of the device are expected to surpass 10 million by next week. The Korea Times reports Samsung Electronics CEO Shin Jong-kyun made the statements during a press conference in Seoul, Korea on Thursday.
Based on the company's sales history with its prior flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3, it appears the Galaxy S4 will prove the fastest selling mobile device in the company's history. According to Jong-kyun, the Galaxy S3 needed 50 days to push out 10 million units.
Research firm Strategy Analytics claims Samsung devices account for 95 percent of Android OS hardware on the market. Earlier this week, Google announced plans to sell an unlocked Galaxy S4 running a standard, Nexus-like Android operating system.
