Yet more analysis of the global mobile phone scene has come to the usual, inevitable conclusion — that Samsung is crushing everyone. Into a SMOOTH PULP. Data published by Gartner claims Samsung took 23.6% of all phone sales (dumb and smart) in the first quarter of 2013, way ahead of surprise second place manufacturer Nokia.
Apple’s down in third position, with LG doing rather well for itself in fourth place in the overall combined smart and feature phone sales league table. Here’s the data:
So that’s 425 million phones sold around the world in the first three months of the year, with Samsung making very nearly a quarter of all of them. And things are even better for Samsung in terms of smartphone market share…
…where it took nearly 31% of all sales over the first three months of 2013. And that’s before the S4 arrived. Madness. Good to see LG’s smartphone sales numbers doubling, too, almost certainly thanks to the success of the Nexus 4.
