Samsung Galaxy S3 Pre-Orders Hit 10 Million

[satanboy]

Really, who wouldn’t want to own a Samsung Galaxy S3 or a smartphone of its caliber? An old, familiar face is claiming that the yet-unreleased handset has reached ten million pre-orders, a number that may likely rise in the coming weeks.

That old, familiar face is none other than Eldar Murtazin, a tech blogger who is always outspoken, often controversial, yet often right with his industry-specific posts and tweets. Murtazin brought up the ten million figure in a Twitter conversation with one Jan Ole Suhr, and if such a proclamation is accurate, this means the Galaxy S3 just might double the sales figures of its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S2. With all that to consider, one would have to wonder when the Galaxy S3 will finally see the light of day in retail stores. So far, the consensus has vacillated between an April and May release date. Those who believe in an April launch cite an interview by a Samsung China official stating that he would prefer the Galaxy S3 to be launched this month rather than next. And those who think the latter is more realistic rely on a leaked S3 image showing the date May 22, 2012 and time 7 PM on the display. This happens to be the confirmed schedule of an upcoming Samsung event, but the South Korean company has yet to comment on its purpose.

Aside from the recent tweet on the astounding pre-order numbers, Murtazin has also tweeted in the past that the Galaxy S3 will feature a ceramic body design influenced by Rado watches. A month ago, he mentioned Galaxy S3 pre-orders having reached the highest ever mark in the history of the Galaxy series.

I suggest you move back slowly towards the door...yes... that's right...now just go through it without making a peep...and you might survive.

And I agree with you...the Galaxy sux...me no like Samsung...but you touch Android on its studio...you touch me on my studio..and I do not take kindly to that.

bye bye now.

That's insane, we don't even know what it looks like or what the specs are. Looks like it's gonna be sold out in the 1st few months

Picturing this scenario in my mind, I just had to LOL.

Is this phone announced already? How did I miss that. If is not announced then how can the retailers accept pre orders? WTF

It has not been announced. I assume they refer to distributors / cell-networks placing pre-orders with Samsung.

Im kinda looking forward to this phone ... still have my desire HD and loving it, but
wanna switch sine HTC really really don't know anything about after sales service.

 

[paddy_za]

Damn, was gonna go with the HTC One X but now I guess I will have to wait to see what this is like. Surely they will announce specs and design prior to release?

The specs are on gsmarena but check out 1X as well im just really disappointed with HTC cause
they made all these promises with features but non available here in SA or atleast some ppl got them
and other just never got access to them for some reason, we don't even have proper
access to the site and after mailing them for months all they can tell me is to hold on they are
working on it only to be told it will never happen. So yeah HTC Epic Fail.

I had the Omnia before and it was ok so hoping samsung will pull a bunny out of the hat with
this one.

placing pre-orders on a unannounced item/device? Sometimes even announced devices don't make it into production, never mind unannounced ones. And even if Samsung were to announce it in the next hour people must realise there will be a few months delay until production starts (never mind network testing and delivery) WTF I get the feeling some people have sooo much money they can't wait to give it away
