Samsung has announced it has moved five million units of the Galaxy Note since its launch last October. This number falls short of the total number of Galaxy S II handsets shipped, but still not shabby for a device no one thought would hit the United States originally.
The Note has grabbed much attention not only for its unique form factor and stylus functionality, but mostly due to its hybrid phone and tablet appeal. With a 5.3-inche screen, the Galaxy Note definitely is unique.
We must point out that just because Samsung is touting it shipped five million Galaxy Note’s, it doesn’t mean the same amount of units were sold, as that number is still unknown at this point. The number sold might be way less than the number shipped, just think, how many Samsung Galaxy Notes have you seen in the wild? Update: Samsung has clarified that these are sold to end users. Not bad!
Regardless, the number is sure to get a bump, as the Korean-based company has been putting the peddle to the metal when it comes to marketing, stopping at nothing to put the device in the reach of both humans and elephants for that matter. Samsung also plans to release the hybrid wonder to the masses in Japan, as the handset will be one of the first LTE offerings to be sold in the country.
