Samsung sets new smartphone milestone.
The world's second largest mobile handset maker (by volume) announced on Sunday that it had set a new company milestone when annual sales of its mobile handsets passed 300 million units for the first time.
"We look forward to extending this success going into 2012," JK Shin, President and Head of Samsung's Mobile Communications Business, was quoted as saying.
In 2010, Samsung's entire annual handset sales reached 280 million units.
The company has said that its Galaxy S smartphone series contributed significantly to the results.
