Reportedly, according to the announcement, the 10 million-units-sold milestone was reached a full 20 days earlier than with the previous unit, the Galaxy S 3, and quite a bit faster than the Galaxy S (seven months) and the Galaxy S 2 (five months).

Although there is a mild controversy regarding the 10 million units sale because according to the company, these are 10 million global channel sales but not a direct sales to consumers - which puts the number on the "shipped" side not the sold unit to a person.
