Samsung reportedly sets ridiculously ambitious sales goal for Galaxy S4

Galaxy S4 would have to achieve about 1.5x the Galaxy S3 sales

Samsung Galaxy S4rumors are at a fever pitch, and so are the company's sales expectations for the soon-to-be-announced smartphone each month, according to South Korean media.

Korean language news site Money Today reports that Samsung has already ordered 10 million Galaxy S4 components per month.

This figures indicates that Samsung is capable of selling 10 million units per month, following the expected Galaxy S4 release date in April.

The translated text from the Korean site doesn't express how long its industry sources expect Samsung to be able to keep this 10-million unit level going.

Galaxy S4 vs. Galaxy S3 vs. Galaxy S2 sales

The dominating sales of the Galaxy S3 and and the Galaxy S2 smartphones before it indicate that the Galaxy S4 should be a gigantic success.

However, if Samsung does indeed have a lofty goal of 10 million units per month, as rumored, it would have to sell about one-and-a-half times as many Galaxy S4 smartphones at launch.

The Galaxy S3 took 50 days to achieve that 10 million sold figure, and the S2 took 5 months.

May come down to Galaxy S4 specs, price

Samsung's ability to sell that many Galaxy S4 smartphones may come down to the technology inside of the handset and the price on the outside of its box.

There have been Galaxy S4 leaks aplenty, leading us to speculate that the smartphone will have a 4.99-inch screen and a Full HD 440PPI resolution.

The Galaxy S4 processor, meanwhile, is rumored to set a new benchmark with a Exynos Octa 5 eight-core 1.8GHz chip.

It's been speculated that the phone will run Android 4.2.1, have at least a 10-megapixel camera, and support wireless charging to boot.

While there have been many tech spec rumors, leakers haven't been as vocal about a Galaxy S4 price, a key determinant to the success of any smartphone these days.

Whether or not Samsung is able to move 10 million Galaxy S4s per month, the company is likely to achieve its 500 million smartphone sales goal in 2013 in large part due to this highly anticipated phone.
