The holiday season is the most profitable quarter for smartphone manufacturers and ensures every year for profitable sales. This time, the two rivals Apple and Samsung enter new records and sell an incredible number of devices. Strategy Analytics has been looking at the numbers and set up a list of the best selling smartphones in the last quarter.
According to the information of the analyst was able to position the iPhone 5 during the Christmas season in the first place and has sold 27.4 million units, with most in the world. In second place, surprisingly, the iPhone 4S with 17.4 million units sold is located, even though the smartphone has about one and a half years under his belt and is no longer advertised by Apple. Followed is the outdated Apple device from the Samsung Galaxy S3, which lies at 15.4 million units sold in third place. In the third quarter, the positioning was not the other way around. In the statistics you need to remember that at this time the iPhone 5 comes on the market and the Samsung Galaxy S3 was released several months ago. For meaningful comparison thus sees something different.
Nevertheless, the numbers are very interesting and show that even the iPhone 4S is very popular among the buyers and still probably sell in the near term is still good. An affordable iPhone is therefore not strictly necessary since the last generation still find enough sales. In addition, you can see, however, that Samsung and Apple clearly dominate the smartphone market, and the Galaxy S 4 in the next quarter's sales figures will surely surpass the iPhone 5/4S.
