Samsung's Smartphones Stumble in Asia and Europe


Research firm Gartner said "demand for Samsung’s smartphones [in the third quarter] weakened, mostly in Western Europe and Asia. Samsung’s smartphone sales declined 28.6 percent in China, the biggest market for Samsung."  Gartner also said it expects Apple to experience its biggest ever fourth-quarter sales, "with both of its large-screen phones seeing demand exceed supply since their launch."  Source: Gartner statement

For analysis of why Samsung is losing ground to Apple at the high-end of the smartphone market, please see my report for STL Partners: Samsung and Google versus Apple?
