Samsung Is World's Largest Smartphone Maker

Korean giant dethrones Nokia after a 14-year reign.

 

Samsung has now emerged as the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, toppling Nokia from the pole position it held for 14 years. While several major players including Apple have vied for this status, it is the Korean giant that was finally able to achieve what was once thought impossible. Additionally, the company also breezed past Apple as the top smartphone seller worldwide by capturing 31% market share during the first three months of this year. Nokia, on the other hand, experienced a decline in shipments by 24% during the same period, despite introducing strong Windows Phone handsets.

It is known that Samsung furnishes only the number of shipments, rather than the number it could sell. This has led to some analysts to dispute its claim to the throne. However, a majority of the experts seem to support the company's right to the title. Most expect Apple to grow further in the coming months, but fear that it will be difficult to offset Sasmsung's sales because it has an ace up its sleeve, namely the read GALAXY S III. The prospects are still considered gloomy for Nokia, however, and it will have to pull itself up together by the boot strings, in order to survive against the onslaught of these two mobile giants. You can take a look at the table below for details.
