Samsung Galaxy S II hits 10 million sold Samsung says its new smash hit smartphone has hit 10 million units sold, without even launching in the U.S.
The Galaxy S II has seen a massive uptick in sales the last two months, after launching in April in Korea.

Samsung's new device has a 4.27-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen, Android 2.3.4, a 1.2GHz Samsung dual-core processor, an 8.49mm thin chassis (at lowest), an 8MP camera with autofocus and 1080p recording, NFC support, 4G, a 2MP front-side camera and HSPA+, WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0+HS.



Furthermore, the device will run on Samsung's updated TouchWiz UI and weighs just 4 ounces.

So far, in the U.S., the device has only been available through Sprint since the 16th, and will hit T-Mobile and AT&T next month.

The original Galaxy S sold 10 million units in 2010, and is one of the most popular Android devices in history.

I think fruit farmers should sue Apple.
