Samsung claims it has sold 30 million Galaxy S3 smartphones worldwide since its release earlier this year, alongside three million Galaxy Note 2 tablets.

According to GSM Arena, the Galaxy S3 sales figure includes the I9300 as well as carrier-specific versions offered in the United States, Japan and Korea.

Meanwhile according to Engadget, the 5.5-inch stylus-enabled Galaxy Note 2 is now selling three times faster than the original Galaxy Note, which ended up shipping around 10 million units worldwide.
