Samsung is now the top smartphone maker in China, overtaking that position from Nokia. Last year, the Korean company’s market share rose by 5.3% from 2011, while its sales volumes tripled from 10.9 million to 30.6 million units. As I’m writing this, Samsung firmly holds 17.5% of the market.
As for other handset makers, Nokia now holds 7th position, Lenovo 2nd with 13.2% of the market, while Apple is third.
Now if we can tell anything from the start of the year, we can easily envision Samsung staying at the top with Nokia eventually gaining few percentage points in the second half of the year spurred by the sales of its low-cost Windows Phone devices.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
