Samsung is rising high with their success of Android Galaxy devices and is way ahead of Nokia in terms of global smartphone market share, but finland is a place where Nokia has done good even in these difficult years. The Finnish people have always supported their local company.
The most recent IDC report says that the battle is lost. Samsung has surpassed Nokia's phone sales in the first quarter of 2013 capturing the top spot and claiming 36% of market share. Nokia managed to have 33% of the total market share followed by Apple at 17% and other manufacturers at 16%.
Nokia is not even in top five when we see the global Smartphone market, the place is held strongly by Samsung and Apple, these statistics project a grim figure of the company and we are forced to think, did Nokia jumped the wrong ship when they decided to partner with Microsoft. Well, all is not that bad for Nokia. The lumia range of the company is seeing 30% growth.
Of all the Android Smartphone manufacturers only Samsung is making profit, rest all are posting losses. This comes at a time when Nokia reported profit after six quarters of losses. I personally feel, Nokia took a wise decision but they might have underestimated themselves. I think only Nokia can challenge the might of Samsung if they chose to make Android Smartphones sometime in near future.
What do you think? Would you buy an Android Phone from Nokia? or the current strategy of Nokia is wise and they should stick to it? Let us know in the comments section below.
