Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3 back in September at IFA, this year. The company filled the handset to the brim with features and powers, which was evident from its hefty price tag as well.

Initial reports, after the device went on sale, suggested that the Note 3 is not doing as well as Samsung had hoped. However, today Samsung’s CEO, J K Shin, announced in a press briefing that the company has managed to ship more than 5 million units of the Note 3 within a month of launching it. The handset has received good market response, according to Shin.

Keep in mind that this 5 million figure is the unit that Samsung has shipped to carriers, distributors etc. all over the world, and not actually sold to end consumers. The final retail figure should be slightly lower.

Even then, the Galaxy Note 3 is doing exceedingly well. The Galaxy Note 2 took nearly 2 months to reach the same figure.
