Samsung Electronics has boasted today that 5 million Galaxy S smartphones have been sold since launch in June.
The company is the world's second largest mobile phone maker but has lagged in smartphone sales.
Samsung's Galaxy S, released across all four major U.S. carriers, was the company's "answer" to the Apple iPhone and high-end Android devices from Motorola and HTC.
Thanks to the Galaxy, Samsung says it should manage to hit 25 million smartphones sold, putting it in fourth place in global sales behind Nokia, RIM and Apple.
Furthermore, the company expects to sell another 4 million units of the Galaxy S in the current quarter.
