This is the first time Samsung’s device has gone on sale on three South Korean operators at the same time and if initial numbers are any indication, Samsung’s Galaxy S II is enjoying a very good response. Chosun reports that three mobile operators – SK Telecom, LG U+ and KT have cumulatively received pre-orders of more than 200,000 Galaxy S II units.

SK Telecom is the biggest gainer who received pre-orders of more than 160,000 units in a period of just five days. If we translate, that’s one Galaxy S II in every two seconds. LG U+ confirmed that they received pre-orders for more than 30,000 units. KT didn’t divulge the figures but it is believed their orders have taken the total count in excess of 200,000 units.

Samsung earlier estimated to sell over 10m Galaxy S II units by end of this year.
