Samsung Overtook Apple For Top Smartphone Manufacturer In The World

The battle of the best is a constant battle, and when we look at the third quarter of 2011, we see that Samsung has taken the lead. We do not just have a small advantage here.

What you see in the picture below is a compilation of results for the top three producers and their results for Q3. You can clearly see that the data show a difference with the Samsung 10 million units in the face of Apple. Samsung released its financial results for the quarter and now it seems that patent issues do not keep them!

Now the only problem is this: If Samsung does not specify its financial data, exact sales. They claim that sales increased by 40%, but that does not look at the numbers we see in the picture above.

We also need to consider in the totality. If the Samsung units sold, then we have to consider that Samsung produces more than one phone in a variety of price ranges. These are aimed at different demographic areas where cheaper phones are able to sell. So you can understand why it may have a bigger push from the storage units.

I remember working in Kuwait last year and the market seemed ripe for Samsung Apple. The Apple mobile phone in Carrefour (Wal-Mart as a store) were for about $ 1,050 dollars, which a lot of money to spend on people in the U.S. on a phone to sell and above all, that's a lot of money for someone who Who is working in another country to make ends meet. Samsung Android-based mobile phones were sold at a cheaper price from $ 500-600 dollars. These phones are at a price to the public, contrary to what many sold here used in the United States. I am not bound to a contract there.

So what's my point is this: what are the actual selling price Samsung? We say that Samsung manufactures 28 million units, but only sold 14 million and 17 million Apple makes and sells 16 million, which is really the first smartphone manufacturer then?
