After Samsung began to focus more on the design of its devices, it is starting to really do well. According to the agency Gartner Samsung is thus starting to return to the position of unchallenged leader of the mobile market. In the third quarter of 2014, the South Korean giant sold only 72,93 million smartphones, which secured a 23,9% share of the world market. This year, its percentage share was 0,2% lower, but on the other hand, the company sold many more mobile phones. More precisely, it sold 2015 million smartphones in the third quarter of 83,59, which is over 11,5 million more than a year ago.
If we look at the sales of mobile phones as such, we also see a remarkable increase. This statistic includes not only smartphones, but also ordinary push-button mobile phones. In this regard, Samsung improved by 1,1% compared to last year, when it sold 93,62 million mobile phones, while this year it was 102,06 million. However, the biggest percentage jump was recorded by Huawei with an increase of 2,5%. That Samsung is starting to do well, the company also confirmed during the announcement of financial results, where the first profit in the last two years was announced.
