Samsung has hit a rather huge milestone with their upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3. According to information let slip by a Samsung official, global pre-orders of the Galaxy S3 have already reached 9 million. That’s a staggering amount, thrice more than the S2’s 3 million pre-order record. If there was ever an argument about which would be more famous as well as sell more, between the HTC One X and the Galaxy S3, that argument can now be firmly buried in the backyard.

The Samsung official also noted that the Samsung factory is working at a capacity of churning out 5 million Galaxy S3 per month. That should be very nice to hear for those who pre-ordered it, as they can rest assured that they will receive the device without any delays.

Are you one of that insanely high count of 9 million that pre-ordered it? Or do you prefer to buy a device when it actually gets released? Let us know in the comments.
