Samsung Electronics on June 7 launched its Android-based Galaxy S II smartphone in the Taiwan market in cooperation with Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) and Taiwan Mobile (TWM).
Global sales of the Galaxy S II topped one million units within one month after the mobile device was launched in late April, according to Andy Tu, president of mobile communications unit, Samsung Taiwan.
