Samsung sells over 10m Galaxy S4s

Seoul: South Korea’s Samsung Electronics said on Thursday its latest flagship Galaxy S4 had become its fastest selling smartphone to date, topping 10 million units globally less than a month after its debut. A company statement said the S4 had already passed the 10-million sales mark following its April 26 launch. It’s predecessor, the S3, took 50 days to reach the same threshold. The world’s top handset maker hopes the S4 will expand its presence in high-end markets in the United States and elsewhere, crowding out archrival Apple and its iconic iPhone.
