The Samsung Galaxy S 4 (GS 4) is showing signs of Apple iPhone-like success.
An unamed Samsung executive told Chosunlibo that Samsung has shipped 4 million GS 4between its launch and the end of the April. I
Then Samsung shipped another 2 million, making for a total of 6 million shipped by May 10. Samsung believes that they will sell 10 Samsung Galaxy S 4 smartphones by the end of May.
In the past, it took Samsung two months to sell 10 million Samsung Galaxy S III in 2012 and 150 days to sell the same amount of Samsung Galaxy S II models.
Although Samsung didn't sell 5 million in the first weekend of sales like the iPhone 5, it is one of the first makers to even come close to iPhone 5-mania.
Strategy Analytics suggests that Samsung's sales grew nine times faster than Apple's during the first quarter of 2013.
