According to a leaked
research report from Strategy Analytics, Samsung for the first time has become
the biggest smartphone vendor in China by selling the highest number of smartphones in
2012.
However, the research report
has not been made public, according to a Strategy Analytics spokesman. The
research report states that Samsung has sold nearly triple amount of devices in
China last year. In 2012, they sold 30.06 million
smartphones, up from 10.9 million units the year before.
Samsung is now the leading
smartphone seller in the world’s largest market with 17.7% market share. Lenovo,
which is the Chinese electronics giant, came close after Samsung in second
place. Apple with an 11% market share, moved back up into China’s top five smartphone vendors.
Local vendors like Huawei
and Coolpad are also doing well. They took 9.9% and 9.7% market share
respectively.
Demands for smartphone are
increasing day by day in China. According to the statement from the research
farm, smartphone shipments in China increased by more than 75%, year-on-year to
“record levels” in the fourth quarter of 2012.
