Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (SEO 005930) may have its hands full legally dealing with lawsuits from Apple, Inc. (AAPL), but thus far that hasn't held it back from posting some big sales numbers.  Samsung, who trails only Apple in smartphone manufacturer market share, announced it had sold ten million Galaxy S II smartphones in less than six months.

I. Galaxy S II Selling Approximately Twice as Fast as Its Predecessor

The figure seems particularly impressive as U.S. carriers are just now getting around to deploying the Galaxy S II.  

The original Galaxy S only sold 10 million units for all of 2010 despite having variants deployed on all four of America's top carriers -- Verizon Communications Inc.'s (VZ), AT&T, Inc. (T), Deutsche Telekom AG's (ETR:DTE) T-Mobile USA, and Sprint Nextel Corp. (S).

The Galaxy S II was much faster out the gate.  Launching in April in Samsung's home country of South Korea, the handset reached sales of 1 million in a month and 3 million in 55 days, exclusively within the Korean market.  By July, Samsung had moved 5 million Galaxy S II smartphones, as sales had expanded to include European and Japanese carriers.

On September 16 Sprint launch the Epic 4G Touch, helping propel Samsung to the new market of 10 million units sold.  That figure should soon increase.  AT&T is releasing a Galxy S II on October 2 for $199.99 with two-year contract.

The phone is expected to land on T-Mobile as well sometime this fall, but Verizon customers may be left out in the cold.

There are two variants of the Galaxy S II making the rounds.  The original one packs a 1.2 GHz Exynos ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 chip, with 1 GB of DDR2, and a 800x480 pixel 4.27-inch screen.  A second, newer variant brings a faster CPU -- 1.5 GHz -- and a 4.5-inch display (still at the same resolution).  The Galaxy S II provides an interesting alternative to the iPhone; while it lacks the high resolution of the Phone 4's Retina Display, it has a much larger screen (particularly for the 4.5-inch variant), a faster CPU, and more RAM.

All the versions run on the latest smartphone release of Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Android operating system, 2.3.4 "Gingerbread".
