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,
or 12.7%of the market on strong iphone 6 sales, a trend other analysts have been tracking as well,

although there will be other key moves coming from Chinese handset makers. ver the holidays we expect record sales of the iphone 6 and iphone 6 Plus,
