Research firm IDC is reporting that Nokia was dethroned because the world's biggest phone maker by Samsung. Inside the first quarter of the year, Samsung shipped 98.3 million cell phones, with Nokia and Apple in second and third place. Within the smartphone-only charts, the Korean company shipped 42.2 million of its Android and Windows Phone handsets, while Cupertino shipped 35.1 million and Nokia shipped a paltry-by-comparison 11.9 million.
Samsung, Apple and corporations outside the end 5 all made big gains within the smartphone space, while Nokia, RIM and HTC all felt their numbers drop. Unsurprisingly, companies with big stakes in dumb phones suffered, with Nokia and LG losing big chunks in their market share to the enormous two and stalking horse ZTE, which has bested LG for fourth place. After the break, we have the official tallies which you could pore over.
