Global mobile phone sales fall by 3.1 per cent in third quarter


Global mobile phone sales fell 3.1 per cent year-on-year to almost 428 million in the third quarter, according to Gartner research.
Smartphones accounted for 36.9 per cent of the total and grew 46.9 per cent from a year earlier to 169.2 million units. While the total market showed a decline, Gartner said it saw signs of improving demand in both both mature and emerging markets, as sales increased sequentially. Demand was supported by smartphone sales in China and a recovery in replacement sales in mature markets thanks to new device introductions. 

Samsung led both the total market with a 22.9 per cent share of unit sales and took 32.5 per cent of the smartphone market. Nokia's share fell to 19.2 per cent of the total market and it dropped to seventh place in smartphones. Apple was in third place in the total market with 5.5 percent, followed by ZTE with 3.9 per cent and LG with 3.3 per cent. 
In terms of operating systems, Android commanded a 72.4 per cent share in Q3, followed by Apple's iOS with 13.9 percent, Research In Motion's BlackBerry with 5.3 percent, Samsung's Bada at 3.0 percent, Symbian with 2.6 per cent and Microsoft's Windows at 2.4 per cent.

  1. Wash your curly hair at the very least two days in a week.
    My hair doesn't always look good when I'm going to attend openings and red carpet events.

    Generally, these products are more expensive than their watered-down counterparts,
    but you can find a few affordable pure silicone hair products (see below).

  2. When applied in cool, wet weather, it can cause burning of the leaves
    and the russeting of fruit. Native plants or at
    least plants adapted to similar conditions as your region will
    have a better chance of growing and thriving. Each has
    his own concoction of soapy water, tobacco juice or hot
    pepper solutions to to deter these nasty pests and try those first.

  3. Repairing Small Cracks in Concrete Floors: Determine the Damage.
    Polished concrete floors come
    in different colours and types to suit the different decorative
    and functional requirements of domestic or commercial
    customers. And when we would cut for the plumbing work,
    I had to patch around that and make it solid.

  4. After application the hair is simply dried, either naturally or using a drier.
    Before you go for them, try products at Keranique for hair care.
    Soon after this, use curl lotion all more than your hair, and make use of mousse and squeeze
    this in your hair to that your curls seem flawless.

  5. Thanks for your exciting article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally a result of the breathing of dust from asbestos fiber,
    which is a positivelly dangerous material. It really is commonly found among workers in
    the construction industry who may have long
    experience of asbestos. It is also caused by moving into asbestos protected buildings for years of
    time, Genes plays a huge role, and some persons are more vulnerable on the risk as compared to others.
