10 Million and Counting..Samsung Galaxy II a Runaway Success

  /     /  

Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S II smartphone (model: GT-I9100) has achieved 10 million global channel sales, doubling from five million in just eight weeks. In the last 8 weeks, sales have gone from 5 million to 10 million – or 625,000 units sold per week. And here’s the real kicker: the press release expressly states “Model: GT-I9100,” meaning these sales figures don’t even include the United States.


Galaxy S II i9100 achieved 10 million sales worldwide since its launch (late April this year).

Secondly, Samsung has presented the Galaxy S II HD LTE (pictured below), a bigger version of the Galaxy S II LTE announced about a month ago in Europe. 

The new Galaxy S II HD LTE has an HD display,  with  a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels – just like the Galaxy Note, the difference being that the Galaxy S II HD LTE’s display measures 4.65 inches, not 5.3 inches.


Samsung Galaxy S II  is an Android 2.3-based smartphone that was announced by Samsung on February 13, 2011 at the Mobile World Congress. The Galaxy S II is Samsung’s flagship smartphone that is only 8.49mm thin. It features  dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 system-on-chip as well as ARM Mali-400 graphics engine. The product sports 4.27″ Super AMOLED+ screen with 800*480 resolution. The device became available worldwide starting from May 2011 and is sold  by more than 140 vendors in 120 countries.

Google and Motorola Deal : Who Really Won

  /     /  

Who are the winners  in the Motorola and Google Deal. In a deal of such disruptive proportions there will be some Winners and some losers. Businessinsider posted a detailed article which takes a look at the Winners in This Acquisition


Sanjay Jha took over Motorola’s mobile operations and chose to go all-in with Android.The bet has paid off. Jha stands to make $90 million personally on this deal

Google just paid $12.5 billion for a patent portfolio. Sound like a good deal? Not really. But it also gets a handset maker. So that makes it a good deal, right?Well, this is a low margin business with 19,000 employees and factories around the world. Not exactly the same thing as search and advertising. Is this what Google wants to do

 
Another winner has been Carl Icah has been involved with Motorola since 2006, fighting with the company’s board, trying to get something out of it all. Well, it finally paid off. He’s getting $415 million on this one.

Ben Bajarin, who is Director of Consumer Technology Analysis and Research at Creative Strategies, Inc, laid out why Google should buy Motorola on August 2. All of his reasons were spot on.

Nokia’s stock is up  with industry sources familiar with the Tech Industry workings, that people think Microsoft will buy Nokia’s stock popped in reaction to the news. Microsoft will  be enticed to buy Nokia as a reactionary move,as this will strengthen their product line.Of course Microsoft could buy it as a defensive move.
 

Apple has a tougher time suing Android, but its rival just made a big risky move.Apple comes out of this transaction in decent shape. You could argue that it will have a hard fight on its hands in the long run as Motorola works on more Android devices. However, we don’t believe Google or Motorola have built any exceptional devices and nothing’s going to change that.According to BusinessInsider “We’re calling Apple a winner because it forced Google to take this risky $12.5 billion bet on something which it has yet to  develop a core competency ( specially in production)”
