Analysts say Apple has beaten Samsung to become world’s largest smartphone vendor

Samsung is refusing to release concrete figures, but some industry experts are giving the win to Apple.

After recording the biggest quarterly profit by any company ever, Apple might have earned itself another accolade: world’s largest smartphone vendor. It’s clear that the iPhone maker had a bumper quarter, reporting record sales of 74.5 million smartphones. However, Samsung is only saying that it sold 95 million total handsets, of which, it says, somewhere between 71 million and 75 million (the “high 70 percent”) were smartphones.

So has Apple finally beaten Samsung? It’s impossible to say with absolute certainty. Samsung isn’t likely to give up any more information on the topic, and analysts and industry experts are hedging their bets accordingly. Some are marking it as a dead heat while others are claiming Apple as the winner. Counterpoint Research, which polls global distributors for its figures, says the iPhone maker is definitely ahead — pegging Samsung’s shipments at only 73.8 million. Ben Bajarin, an analyst for Creative Strategies also gives the win to Apple (see chart above), but Strategy Analytics claims both vendors shipped 74.5 million smartphones in the fourth quarter last year.

Not an Apple fan. I prefer Android and I currently have the Galaxy S4.

[fatnotlazy]

Gonna buy one later this year when my contract expires. I love Samsung

[SamAdams76]

Well your prediction turned out to be wrong. None of the “Apple fanboys” came here to talk trash. They are respectful of the competition and understand that there are some decent non-Apple products out there.

Well that looks about 10 years more advanced than my Android phone, especially the innards, but that’s OK, I’m happy with mine.
