asymco: Global mobile phone sales, the full picture

Industry analyst asymco, has posted charts showing mobile phone sales throughout the world:

“After piecing together the global smartphone shares, it’s time to take a look at global mobile phone shares. That’s all phones from all vendors that matter.

Unfortunately, just like there are only fragments available from Canalys about smartphones, there are only partial lists from IDC (IDC – Press Release – prUS22441510).  Missing are numbers from Apple, Motorola and HTC.  But fear not, those can be obtained from company earnings reports.”

Samsung is taking Nokia’s market with 80% over the year while they fall 48.1% over the year, and Apple is slowly rising. Despite Apple’s 3% global share, their year over year growth has gone up 61.3%. Not bad.
