Our new favourite data provider Strategy Analytics has released some more smartphone market share data, this time charting global sales by manufacturer in Q2 of 2011. When compared to the same period of 2010, the stats make very poor reading for Nokia, which has slumped from having 38% of the smartphone market in Q2 of 2010 to only 15% one year later.
Meanwhile…
…Samsung has exploded up from 5% of the total global smartphone market to take well over 17% in the space of a year, shifting just over 19 million phones. Apple’s the big target, with this data confirming reports that Samsung might be about to overtake it. Chart via MBB.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
