It was only earlier this month that Samsung had passed the three million unit mark for their latest and greatest Galaxy Note II smartphone, but now the South Korean company is proud to announce they've passed the milestone of five million units.

Sales have no sign of slowing down, now reaching American carriers in various forms, and has even had the joyous time of being added to an Apple lawsuit - all of this not affecting sales. There's a new ad, too, in the video above.

The Galaxy S III sales still dwarf the Note II sales, but for something that the company thought wouldn't sell too well - the Note range of smartphones have really come into their own. I can't wait to test out a Note II myself.
