301m Smartphones Sold In Q3 As Xiaomi Muscles Into The Top 5 At Samsung s Expense Smartphones now account for 66%of all mobile phones worldwide
the two-horse race between the leading smartphone vendors Samsung and Apple looks like it may finally be breaking up a bit,
A total of 301 million smartphones sold up 20%on a year ago. Within that, Apple and Samsung combined smartphone share totalled 37%,down 7 percentage points from the same period a year ago.
Mobile phone sales overall were 456 million completely flat on Q3 2013. Within the smartphone space, China Xiaomi made its way into the top five for the first time with a sharp rise over a year ago,
while the world biggest OEM, Samsung, declined. Apple saw its share increase up to 38 million,
The Korean handset giant sold 73 million smartphones in Q3, giving it a 24.4%share of the market,
Xiaomi sales of 16 million smartphones for a 5. 2%share of the market is up nearly four percentage points over a year ago (it only sold 3. 6 million units in Q3 2013.
In short, it because sales in mature markets (where Samsung traditionally has been strong) are saturated now with smartphones,
