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.

This is why Apple has the lawsuits going. It fears Samsung's latest devices because they are simply too good.

I think fruit farmers should sue Apple.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
