Samsung shifts 10 million Galaxy S4s in 1st month on sale

Samsung shifts 10 million Galaxy S4s in 1st month on sale
|

Samsung must be rather proud of itself at the moment.

Why? Well, because it has recently announced that it has shifted 10 million Galaxy S4s worldwide little under a month after its new superphone went on sale.

And that's in spite of some initial shipping delays in the UK.

Although we had some reservations about Sammy's new flagship Android phone, that hasn't prevented rather a lot of people around the world from popping to their nearby phone dealer and picking up a Galaxy S4.

And despite consumer lust for the existing black-and white Galaxy S4 models showing no signs of abating, Samsung is adding four new colours to the mix later in the summer.

So, yes, interested Galaxy S4 parties will soon be able to choose from Blue Arctic, Red Aurora, Purple Mirage, and Brown Autumn.

Throw in the imminent Galaxy S4 Active and Samsung is clearly set for world Galaxy S4 domination. Well, except for one last thing...

Impressive as Samsung's Galaxy S4 sales announcement undoubtedly is, Apple did shift five million iPhone 5s in just its opening weekend last autumn. And in fewer markets. On fewer carriers.

There's always one, isn't there.

He always had a hunch mobiles would become quite popular, but possibly didn't realise how powerful (and, ironically, returning to 20 minutes between charges).
