Galaxy Note Is Now Formally Landing in North America After 1 Million Units Moved in 2 Months
The Galaxy Note, Samsung's monstrous Android handset, is potentially the Korean group's most unique and precarious move into the smartphone market, and it paid off beautifully, paving the way for an American launch. In late December,, Samsung reported that it shipped over 1 million units worldwide in less than 2 months, and that's without an official American release.
World sales of the Galaxy Note continue to increase despite that Android 4.0 handsets are now hitting the market, and the places that've been the most receptive to Samsung's tablet-like smartphone include key markets like France, Germany, and Taiwan. In Hong Kong, it sold out in the first month, and it remains a hot item in the UK since it debuted in November. Naturally, the company plans to continue the device's success by introducing the handset to the US market, and all signs point to AT&T as an official carrier.
The company won't announce launch date just yet, but it is safe to assume that it would probably hit stores inside the initial few months of the new year. It would not surprise us if Samsung narrated the release of the US Galaxy Note at CES in January, but we have been unable to affirm that info as of this writing.
Samsung believes that reaching such a crucial milestone for such an experimental product places the company in a singular position as a "market creator." That suggests the company successfully introduces noteworthy products to the global market, but our perspective of Samsung's success is better anchored to reality. The Galaxy Note is yet another smartphone, so this concept that Samsung is a market creator stinks of PR agency BS.
Still, it is a crucial achievement for any company to complete, and we are glad to hear that it will allow Samsung to continue the release of the Galaxy Note where it isn't yet available.
