02:03 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMobile phone makers shipped 361 million handsets in the second quarter of this year, up 13% on the same period in 2010, according to a new report.<\/p>\n
Smartphone volumes reached 110 million units, with Apple overtaking Nokia and Samsung to become the biggest vendor, said the Strategy Analytics report.<\/p>\n
Nokia was the biggest maker of all types of handsets, but volumes fell 20% to 88.5 million units for the quarter.<\/p>\n
Nokia’s market share dipped to 25% – its lowest level since 1999.<\/p>\n
Samsung, the number two handset maker, shipped 74 million units, rising 16% from 63.8 million in the quarter a year earlier.<\/p>\n
The company’s market share rose to just above 20%, and Samsung is now “breathing down Nokia’s neck”, the report said.<\/p>\n
Strategy Analytics said Nokia was plagued by problems.<\/p>\n
“An unexciting touchphone portfolio, inventory corrections in Asia and Western Europe, wavering demand for the Symbian platform and limited presence in the huge US market continue to weigh on Nokia’s near-term performance,” the report said.<\/p>\n
The report describes Apple as the “star performer” during the quarter, more than doubling its handset shipments to a record 20.3 million units.<\/p>\n
Apple’s market share was 6%, just over 1 point behind LG, the number three manufacturer.<\/p>\n
LG shipped 24.8 million handsets during the three months, with volumes down 19% from a year earlier.<\/p>\n
China-based ZTE shipped 18 million handsets, giving it a global market share of 5%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
