The review discovered that Huawei took third position for initially in Q4, and ZTE 4th. Favorably for the companies, they managed to do well in their home marketplaces and in the US, where ZTE was 4th and Huawei fifth, motivated by their domain portfolios of low-cost LTE smartphones. Even so, both providers took less than 5 % discuss each.
"BlackBerry, Ms and Htc, as well as other Android operating system providers, have strategies and devices in position to attack, but the task is complicated to say the least," said Pete Cunningham, Major Specialist. "When we look at the whole of 2012, Htc stayed the number three smartphone source, delivery 35 million models, but Apple company in second position delivered 101 million more devices. First-placed New samsung delivered 74 million more than Apple company – the holes are heavy. But there is still a big opportunity as smartphone transmission improves around the world. Vendors left in the awaken of the top providers must at the very least improve their domain portfolios, time-to-market and marketing, as well as connect their differentiators. Ms, BlackBerry and other new OS newcomers, such as Mozilla, must make the OS switch as simple as possible and drive and localise their specific app and content environments."
Sony lost out on the top five this quarter and Lenovo shifted in. The company (Lenovo) appeared as one of the fastest-growing smartphone providers, increasing 216 % year-on-year and moving 9.5 million models to take fifth position. "China made up 98 % of Lenovo’s deliveries with a few growing marketplaces making up the rest. Its battle to gain a grip in marketplaces outside of China suppliers means that it may be forced down the purchase route—as it was with its PC business—hence the rumours about BlackBerry," said Jessica Kwee, Specialist.
