SEOUL, May 19
— In the span of just a few days, Samsung has already received nine million
pre-orders for its new smartphone, the Galaxy S3, according to an article in
Korea Economic Daily published yesterday.
Currently about a hundred carriers
around the world, including T-Mobile and AT&T in the US and Vodafone in the
UK are offering preorders for the phone. Its official release is scheduled for
May 29.
According to
Korea Economic Daily, the factory in charge of the production of the Galaxy S3
is working to its maximum capacity, finishing 5 million units per month.
Samsung did not wish to comment on these figures, noted the Korean daily.
The Galaxy
S2, the brand’s current flagship smartphone, has sold more than 20 million
units since its release a year ago. Its succesor, which is bigger (4.8 inch
display), more powerful (1.4 GHz Exynos 4 Quadprocessor,) and more intelligent
(responding to fingers, voice and eye-tracking), is in a good position to smash
that figure. — AFP-Relaxnews
