That Samsung is a fairly clear leader in the smartphone market is nothing new. After the South Koreans managed to maintain their place in the limelight in the second quarter, they were able to confirm their dominance in the third quarter as well.

The latest data shows that global smartphone shipments in the third quarter rose five percent from the previous quarter to a respectable 393 million units. The South Korean giant then took part in this giant number with an incredible 21% of the total share, which in the language of numbers is roughly 82 million phones.

He owes his success to the flagships

Samsung itself then recorded an eleven percent increase in deliveries, which, according to available information, is the largest quarterly increase in the last four years. Popularity and enormous interest in the new Samsung plays an important role in this Galaxy Note8. According to the most optimistic scenarios, it has even reached the point where it could catch up with the otherwise excellent selling flagships S8 and S8+ in sales.

We'll see how long Samsung manages to keep its place in the limelight. In recent months, competitor Xiaomi has also begun to poke its horns unpleasantly, and it plans to attack Samsung's position in the coming years. So let's be surprised how this competitive battle between two great tech companies will play out and who will emerge as the winner in the end.
