Samsung has sold 10 million Galaxy S II smartphones globally, Mashable reported.

Samsung Galaxy S II was launched in April, and in July Samsung announced it sold 5 million units; reaching the 10 million milestone in such a short time span is quite an achievement, given the device only became available in the U.S. a couple of weeks ago.

Hitting 10 million in only 5 months is a noteworthy achievement for any smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S II is a powerful smartphone with a dual-core 1.2 GHz Exynos CPU, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 1 GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera and 16 GB of storage.
