Samsung is still the king of the day, despite losing market share to low-cost Chinese rivals. Even though it spends more money on marketing than any other handset maker on the planet, the Korean firm can’t move as many devices as it used to.

The newly announced Motorola Droid Turbo will be hitting other parts of the world in the near future.
