LG has sold a million Optimus G Pro in South Korea just four months after it launched, reports AndroidCentral. That amounts to 2% of the local population owning one.

The manufacturer claims that this is the fastest it has reached the 1 million device milestone in its own country, hitting it in just 4 months with average daily sales of over 8,000 for the period. LG Says this tops its previous record sales of the Optimus LTE in Korea, which took a full 7 months.

Brand loyalty to local companies is extremely strong in South Korea, with both LG and Samsung reaping the rewards, and it’s notable that LG hasn’t released figures for sales outside the country, but it’s still a pretty impressive achievement.
