KUALA LUMPUR: Samsung Malaysia Electronics Sdn Bhd expects to sell over 14 million of its new Samsung Galaxy S 2 handphones globally by next year, says Lee Jui Siang, Head of Mobile Phone Division, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.
He said the projection was based on Samsung's 26.7 per cent market share in Malaysia which was expected to grow higher next year.
In addition, the flagship Android-powered smart phones have beaten the sale of the best-selling Samsung Galaxy S which sold a record 14 million units globally since its debut last year.
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 features a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, HSPA+connectivity providing data transfer of up to 21Mbps and a Super AMOLED Plus touch-screen display.
Measuring only 8.49mm thin, the new smartphone is a powerful evolution of its predecessor, Samsung Galaxy S, in speed, screen and slim design.
Globally, the Samsung Galaxy S 2 has attracted three million pre-orders since its launch on April, he told a media conference after the launch.
In South Korea, over 100,000 units of Samsung Galaxy S 2 handphones were sold in the first three days after its launch, 200,000 units in eight days and 500,000 in 18 days and over a million units in less than a month, he said.
'We expect a overwhelming demand for the handphone in Malaysia,' he added.- Bernama
