Juniper has put out numbers in terms of who’s sold what in the smartphone universe during the third quarter of this year. The numbers might surprise you.
- Samsung shipped an estimated 85 million smartphones, representing 34% market share in Q3
- Apple sells 33.8 million smartphones, growing 26% year over year.
- Nokia posts its best ever Lumia sales at 8.8 million, and a total smartphone shipments of nearly 15 million.
- LG shipped 12 million smartphones in Q3 2013, representing a 24% increases year-over-year.
- BlackBerry recent results which run to a different financial schedule are expected to see them ship just under 4 million smartphones in Q3 2013.
So in Q3 Apple grew 26% year over year but couldn’t keep pace with arch-rival Samsung. In fact, Samsung shipped more phones than Apple, Nokia LG and BlackBerry combined. Clearly they are gaining marketshare at an astounding rate. Another surprise is Nokia who was essentially left for dead shot to number three. That’s an impressive comeback.
Q4 will be interesting to watch as you should see more shipments of the Apple iPhone 5S and 5C, the latter being very hard to get at the moment. That may turn the tide back in their favor. Or perhaps Samsung will widen its lead.
Stay tuned.
