Samsung has sold 10 million Galaxy S smartphones globally since sales began last June, the company said Monday.

Samsung said it has consistently sold 1.4 million Galaxy S devices each month since they went on sale.
Samsung didn’t disclose sales of the Galaxy S devices in the U.S., although the company said it had sold 3 million Galaxy S phones in the U.S between June and November.
