Samsung says global sales of its Galaxy S III smartphone have surpassed 20 million in a little more than three months.
Samsung
Electronics Co. launched the flagship smartphone powered by Google's
Android operating system in Europe in late May. The release schedule was
about three months ahead of new phone announcement by rivals Apple,
Nokia and Motorola.
Samsung says brisk sales of the S III are
helping it retain dominance in the smartphone market. Strategy Analytics
says Samsung overtook Apple in worldwide smartphone shipments in 2011.
The
company is embroiled in legal tussles with Apple around the world over
whether Samsung's mobile devices copied Apple products. Apple last week
added the S III to the "copycat" list in its complaint filed with a U.S.
court.
