Singapore, 27 June 2011 – Samsung Electronics has surpassed all expectations in sales of its GALAXY S II smartphone, with all units selling out after its Singapore retail launch on Friday 24 June. The flagship Android™-powered GALAXY S II is the successor to the best-selling GALAXY S, which has sold a record 14 million units globally since its debut last year.

The GALAXY S II reinforces Samsung’s commitment to integrating the best of design and leading technology for customers and affirms our conviction in the strong growth opportunities for our mobile phones,” added Mr. Goh.
