Samsung is one of the fastest growing smartphone manufacturing firms and is likely to pip HTC early next year as Numero Uno in the US. Well they certainly are on their way to do it if the numbers they have managed to churn out for 2011 are taken into consideration.
Samsung has managed to sell a whopping 300 million handsets in 2011 with the majority of the contribution coming from the Galaxy family which includes the likes of the coveted Galaxy SII of which 10 million have already been sold, the Galaxy Nexus and the latest tablet cum smartphone Galaxy Note. All these handsets are based on the Android platform.
And Samsung has been selling a huge number of Bada phones as well to add to the list. Thus the year 2011 is Samsung’s best year in terms of sales at least and they have managed to sell 20 million more handsets than last year.
Nokia still remains the world’s largest manufacturer by volume though we know where they stand and their situation is getting worse by the day. Coming back to Samsung, we’ll know exactly how well they have performed once their fourth quarter results are out.
