Samsung maybe doing well with its touchscreen-equipped Android and bada phones but we cannot undermine the fact that Star (S5230) – running proprietary OS – was the one that set the ball rolling. Samsung has announced that Star sales have surpassed a whopping 30 million units.
Launched in May 2009, it is the second phone after E250 to sell 30 million units and have sold about 15m in Europe, 5m in Latin America, 3m in Russia and 1m in China.
Samsung Star’s success could be attributed to the phone’s affordable price and came with features like a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, TouchWiz UI, 3.2MP camera, DNSe, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and more.
