Samsung’s second quarter results are in, remains the lead smartphone manufacturer in the world

A new report from Counterpoint Research states that Samsung remained the top smartphone manufacturer globally for the second quarter.

Samsung accounted for 21% of all smartphone shipments this quarter. Apple was a near second with 14% percent and Huawei took the third place crown with a share of 9%. Rounding out the top five were Xiaomi and ZTE who each had 5% of the pie. However, in North America numbers differed. Apple took the crown with a remarkable 31% share, Samsung was a distant second with 24% and LG placed third with 15%.

With smartphone sales still growing faster than ever and tablet sales slowing down, smartphones managed to make up 75% of all mobile shipments this past quarter. Both China and the United States were the leading countries when it comes to LTE enabled devices.

With new smartphones hitting the market such as Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus in addition to Apple’s newly announced iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, one could expect the stats to change in the upcoming quarter. We’ll provide the results when they come. But for now, all the details regarding Samsung’s results can be seen in the info-graphic sourced down below.
