The Korean firm sold (the end user) in the first three months of the year 81.1 million for 24.2% of smartphone market share. This represents a sales decline of 5.13% compared to the same period the year, and a loss of 6.2 points of market share.Apple for its part saw sales increase by nearly 40% to 61.1 million terminals for market share up 2.6 points.
336 million smartphones sold in total
There are Lenovo (including Motorola) in third place, far behind with 18.8 million units and volumes increased slightly, but market share declined slightly. Huawei is fourth with 18.1 million phones. This is LG bringing up the rear, with its 15.4 million smartphones to 4.6% market share (+0.6 pts). In total, it sold 336 million smartphones worldwide in the first quarter.
