China-based vendors shipped 101.7 million smartphones in the second quarter of 2014, increasing 24.6% on quarter, according to Digitimes Research.
Sales go to definite direction.
According to the latest NPD DisplaySearch Monthly Tablet PC Panel Shipment & Value Chain report, total tablet display shipments declined 10% on year in the first half of 2014, while combined tablet display shipments to Apple and Samsung fell 34%. While the two companies had a 42% share of tablet panel shipments in the first half of 2013, their combined share dropped to 29% in the first half of 2014.
How sad.
Samsung was enjoying a record operating profit of $9.6 billion for its third quarter in 2013 and shipping Galaxy phones seemingly as fast as it could make them. Now? The company announced its operating profit for the period will be down to between $3.6 and $4 billion, which would be its fourth straight quarter of declines.
Real tragedy.
