Samsung鈥檚 sales outsell Apple鈥檚

Samsung Electronics shipped a record 88.4 million smartphones in the third quarter to take its global market share above 35 percent, while rival Apple’s slice thinned, research data showed yesterday.

Samsung’s smartphone shipments in the July-September period marked a 55 percent surge over the same period of last year, independent research firm Strategy Analytics said.

The South Korean tech company’s market share swelled to 35.2 percent from 32.9 percent in the third quarter of last year.

Apple posted a 26 percent spike in shipments over the same period to 33.8 million units. But that failed to keep pace with the industry’s overall 45 percent growth and the California-based company’s market share fell from 15.6 percent to 13.4 percent.

Strategy Analytics said it expected Apple to make up last ground in the fourth quarter on high demand for its new iPhone 5S model.
