The head of Samsung had earlier indicated that sales of the Samsung Galaxy S3 will reach the ten million unit mark by the end of the month but it seems that the milestone was reached by the company earlier than expected. The chief executive of the South Korean company had indicated that sales of the latest flagship smartphone would reach ten million units by the end of the month.

However reports have revealed that the ten million unit mark was reached earlier than expected although no specific sales figures for the Samsung Galaxy S3 were revealed. This means that around 190,000 units of the Samsung Galaxy S3 were sold by the company in the last two months.

The revelation underscores the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the market even as Apple has yet to release its next-generation iPhone.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is currently being offered by the four major US-based mobile serviceproviders, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. The demand for the device in the market has resulted to a postponement in the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 into the market by Sprint.

However it appears that the device is currently in the middle of a legal battle between Samsung and Apple, which is trying to get an injunction against the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the US market. The injunction was, however, shelved since the court docket was overloaded.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is currently the most popular Android-powered smartphone in the North American market. It is also outselling the iPhone 4S of Apple over at Verizon and AT&T.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 features a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen display and a dual-core processor. The international version of the Samsung flagship smartphone features the Exynos chipset of Samsung while the US version of the device comes with the Snapdragon S4 processor of Qualcomm.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is currently available in two storage option, a 16GB model well as a 32GB model. However Samsung will reportedly release a 64GB model of the device before the end of the year.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has received a number of positive reviews from industry watchers since it offers high-performance hardware and software features. It is also considered as a remarkable high-end smartphone by a number of industry watchers.
