Samsung maintains lead in worldwide mobile market despite stagnant share

Android is continuing to take over the mobile market as the months go by, with the latest figures putting its market share at nearly percent. While Samsung still holds the lion's share of the Android market, according to the latest data released by Gartner for worldwide smartphone sales, Samsung lead over total smartphone sales remained stagnant with 32 percent market share in the third quarter of 2013.

Samsung did increase its lead over Apple in the global smartphone market, but that was more because of Apple's declining share rather than an increase in Samsung's. Of course, Samsung probably isn't sweating it, since they did manage to grab 53 percent of to all mobile industry profits, while the Galaxy Note 3 helped them maintain the lead over other manufacturers. Meanwhile, when counting both feature and smartphones, Samsung's share managed to climb nearly three percent to 25.7 percent of the global share, followed by Nokia at 13.8 percent.
