Isn't samsung already bigger then Apple in mobile phones?
"Samsung sold 235 million mobile handsets in the year 2009.[44] At the end of the third quarter of 2010, the company had surpassed the 70 million unit mark in shipped phones, giving it a global marketshare of 22 percent, trailing Nokiaby 12 percent.[45] Overall, the company sold 280 million mobile phones in 2010, corresponding to a market share of 20.2 percent.[46] Partially owing to strong sales of the Samsung Galaxy range of smartphones, the company overtook Apple in worldwide smartphone sales during the third quarter 2011, with a total market share of 23.8 percent, compared to Apple's 14.6-percent share.[47] Samsung became the world's largest cellphone maker in 2012, with the sales of 45 million smart phones in the first quarter.[48]"

They have Phones selling for 50 bucks, that is normal xD
We are talking about IPhone vs Galaxy Line, not the entire Samsung Line.

Well as of March 2011 Apple announced the Iphone line sold 100 million units and I wouldn't be to surprised if that number is around the 200 million range now maybe a bit more. There's not much solid numbers for each Iphone generation, but I didn't look hard though.
Now Samsungs got some numbers for their Galaxy phones:
Galaxy S - 24 million
Galaxy S2 - 40 million
Galaxy S3 - 50 million
Total: 114 million as of March 2013 in about 3 years compared to apples 6 years. So going by that and by the huge demand for the S4 coming out in a couple weeks I'd say it's only a matter of time for the Galaxy line of cell phones to surpasses the Iphone.
