After upholding the leadership position for a span of long 14 years, now
the Finnish Mobile giant Nokia is losing out to Samsung. An early poll
has suggested that South Korean phone maker Samsung has surpassed Nokia
in the global phone market.
In the first quarter of this year Samsung has sold around 88 to 92 million numbers of cell phones while Nokia has officially sold 83 million phones including both the Smartphone and feature phones.
In the last quarter of 2011 Nokia had remained on top of the overall global mobile phone sales graph with 23.4 percent market share, Samsung was second with 19 percent and Apple was in third position even without any feature phones on offer.
Although at present we don’t have the official quarterly sales report of Samsung and other manufacturers, the abrupt fall in Nokia’s share is expected to have occurred in February and March this year.
If the speculation is not wholly true, but it is certain that in the race for Smartphones Nokia has already lost the game. In Quarter One of 2012, probably Nokia has sold only 12 million Smartphones, and 71 million feature phones.
The above statistics clearly shows that how badly Nokia is losing out in the global Smartphone segment.
