Samsung gets 9 million Pre-orders for the Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy SIII, the device recently launched in London with a worldwide announcement of features, has received over 9 million pre-orders worldwide according to the Korea Economic Daily. This includes the unit sold to more than 290 carriers in 145 countries.

It took the Galaxy S II about a year to reach the 20 million mark globally. But here, in its pre-ordering stage itself, the S III is already ruling. It should also be noted that the device is yet to reach the US, where it’ll arrive on a dual-core processor with LTE on-board and with the smartphone launching there, the device is bound to sell like hot cakes from June.

The device will be available from May 29 in the UK and Europe and will reach other markets very soon.
