Galaxy Note sales figures revealed

Back in 2011 when Samsung launched the original Galaxy Note phablet, commentators were uncertain if it would actually be a big seller. A high price and a huge screen meant that it was far from being an average handset and yet, after 10 million units were sold, the naysayers had been thoroughly silenced.
Now Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 2, which arrived last autumn, was an even bigger hit, shifting 30 million globally over the past 12 months.
Customers in the UK will soon be flocking to pick up the Galaxy Note 3 and expand on the 40 million sales in total that its predecessors generated. And in fact, many people who picked up the first model two years ago will be wanting to sell their old mobile phone so they can upgrade to its natural successor.
The Galaxy Note 3 is easily the most technically advanced mobile in this family so far, sporting a 5.7 inch full HD 1080p screen, a quad core processor and a healthy 3GB of RAM. It even has a 13 megapixel camera pulled across from the Galaxy S4 and, judging by past performance, it should be equally popular.
Of course, the Galaxy Note 3 will also need to compete with a growing number of big screen rivals, such as the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. And the Galaxy Note 2 will be more affordable after its release, making it an attractive option.
Nokia is getting ready to announce the Lumia 1520, which could be the first Windows Phone device to breach the five inch screen size barrier and act as yet another competitor to the Galaxy Note 3.
If Samsung's sales can hold up, or even grow in this scenario, then the Galaxy Note range will have no more need to prove itself.
