Android fans might want to get a little excited from this announcement coming straight from Samsung: the Galaxy S II has sold 3 million units in just 55 days, becoming the company’s fastest-selling phone ever: that’s 1 phone sold every 1.5 seconds!

After the runaway success of Samsung’s Galaxy S Android phone, it was always on the cards that the company would bring a successor to market. Now the imaginatively named Galaxy S II is on the scene – and if pre-orders are anything to go by, it’s going to outsell Apple’s iPhone 4. In Korea at least.

Samsung has shared some juicy info with the guys over at Pocket-Lint and it’s not your usual phone stuff. Turns out, Samsung will be taking advantage of it’s roots in the home entertainment world to enable TV like streaming on its upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and Galaxy S II smartphone.

Mobile World Congress kicked off in Barcelona today, and after Samsung’s little get-together we’re already swimming in exciting mobile phone and tablet announcements. First up, we have the Galaxy S ll, or 2 depending on your preference.

Full high resolution press image of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S2 (or Galaxy S II) has been leaked in the wild. The new Galaxy S II is said to be just 8.49mm thick, and it weighs around 116g.

With Mobile World Congress taking place in a couple of weeks, it is expected we’ll be treated to a raft of new phone announcements, and Samsung are getting ready to announce the new Galaxy S 2.
