The company began sales of the Android-based smartphone in the South American country after launching events in major venues in Sao Paulo, an official at the company said.
Silvio Stagni, vice president at Samsung's Brazil office, said that the company aims to lead the Brazilian wireless market, both in terms of sales and shipments.
The Galaxy S2, which has already debuted in the Middle East and Southeast Asia as well as South Korea, is available at retail price of 1,999 Brazilian reals (US$1,255) for Brazilian consumers.
