Not too long ago, Samsung was trumpeting the fact that they sold 10 million Galaxy S phones in 2010.  Today, however, they've got an even more impressive statistic to share with us.  It turns out that during 2010, Samsung managed to sell 20 million smartphones total, and they've got no plans of slowing down any time soon.  Speaking to the Korea Times, Samsung Mobile head JK Shin said that his company plans to establish themselves as a "global top-tier brand" by selling 60 million smartphones in 2011.  Shin also said that Samsung will reveal a "new version of the Galaxy S" at MWC, which will be powered by a dual-core processor and Gingerbread, and that they plan to expand the Galaxy Tab lineup this year, too.

Samsung certainly managed to move a lot of handsets in the past year, but I'm not completely confident that they'll be able to meet their goal for 2011.  Sure, selling 20 million smartphones in a year is quite an achievement, but 60 million?  That's a whole heck of a lot more.  If they're able to push a device like the Galaxy S2 out early and to just about every carrier like they did with the original Galaxy S, though, they certainly may have a shot at it.  Speaking of the Galaxy S2, it's pretty awesome to get confirmation that the device will be shown off at MWC, though I kind of feel for the owners of the original Galaxy S phones.  At this rate, it seems like the Galaxy S successor is going to arrive before the Froyo update does...
