Samsung Leaves Behind Apple And Takes The Largest Smartphone Market Share In the World

by saad on May 2, 2012

Along with the announcement of its new Galaxy smartphone in a couple of days, Samsung has made an official record of trumping fierce rival Apple to have the first slot in the market share of the smartphones. No doubt that the iPhone of the fruit company has its dominance but according to the records, of shipment, that has been revealed by IDC, Samsung is at the top of the list and has got the title of World`s Foremost Smartphone manufacturer for the very first quarter of this year. The figures of Apple are not disappointing; Apple has successfully secured the second place by shipping 35.1 million units. On the other hand the Korean consumer Electronics has shipped 42.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. The market share of Samsung has now been boasted up to 29.1 percent and the fruit company is following Samsung with 24.2 percent share in the smartphone market.

Let us have a look at the Nokia`s performance in this quarter and the result has shown that only 11.9 million units have been shipped by this company and is present on the third place with a market share of 8.2 percent. It will obviously be strange for you, because for the very first time Nokia is after the Samsung and even the margin is of 30 million units which I will say is pretty impressive.

But the results can vary depending on which particular firm you are paying attention. According to the information that has been released by IH iSuppli and Strategy Analytics which shows that Apple is leading Samsung with a very small margin in the first quarter in terms of shipping units. But this particular that has been discussed in the article has relieved Samsung a lot, and now Samsung will try its best to keep the first position and will surely put all his efforts to sustain its title.

As the people are desperately waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S III to show up, so obviously Samsung will make it the best release. As we have discussed the topic of Samsung Galaxy S III, let us have a look at the rumored specifications that we have up till now, it includes a 1080p display with a 1.5 GHz quad core processor and ceramic encasing, and the people now cannot wait anymore for it. According to some source it is said that the official release will be held in London on May 3rd, 2012. It will give the consumers a great relief and it will be clear to us that what was the real news and which one was the fake. If the mentioned specifications are true then this will be the best smartphone that is present in the market till now.

Hope so that you are also waiting for this device so just wait for two more days.
