The 2011 was in certain respects a trying time for Samsung mobile phones. But it has come out in flying colours.
The positivity with difficult and complex situations in life is that if you are able to see though them successfully the taste of success is far, far greater and the rest of the world begins to start looking at you in a totally new way and with a heightened sense of respect and awe. This is exactly what seems to have happened with and to Samsung mobile phones. Today, now that the year is well and truly over, Samsung can look back at it with lot of pride and satisfaction.
Last year saw, Samsung being embroiled in a legal wrangle with Apple Inc. with some of its main phone devices like the Samsung Galaxy S2 , etc being banned from open market sales in countries like Germany, Netherlands and Australia, etc. But by the year end, all this has changed and today practically all the various Samsung mobile phones including the Samsung Galaxy S2 and its tablet devices being allowed by the relevant legal authorities to sell freely and openly.
But to its credit, the South Korean mobile phone giant played its cards very well and sensibly too. It never wavered from its basic objective and function of producing more and more mobile phones that it did to perfection. And also simultaneously also made sure that its image of a honest and highly professional mobile phone maker did not diminish in the eyes of its countless fans the world over. The fact that in the end, Samsung won most of the patent cases is testimony to this fact as well.
What would have particularly pleased it would have been the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S2 in the same year went on to record a staggering sales of well over 10 million units the world over. The combined sales of the two Galaxy smartphones – Samsung Galaxy S and the Samsung Galaxy S2 – has been the totally ceiling bursting 30 million units! Believe it or not! A good 20 million unit sales has been accomplished by the Samsung Galaxy S alone.
Samsung, in the meanwhile also got out its upgraded second generation mobile computer tablet device in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. You also had other fabulous smartphone such as the Samsung Galaxy Ace, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the more recently released Samsung Galaxy Note. The last mentioned smartphone handset has proved to be a huge hit world wide. Many users are equating the Galaxy Note to be as good as a tablet device!
It is not abundantly clear to all concerned that Samsung mobile phones are force to reckon with in the market place.
