Samsung Q320 Smartphone Shipments Moves to Top Spot in US on the Back of iPhone 12 Delay
Strategy Analytics reported that Samsung passed Apple as the #1 smartphone provider in the US market in Q320, marking the first time since Q2 2017 that Samsung has managed to beat the iPhone maker. Samsung achieved 33.7% market-share in the US during this period, compared to 30.2% for Apple (w/o the iPhone 12) and 14.7% for third-placed LG. Samsung’s budget phones are responsible for the growth, although devices like the Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Z Fold 2 apparently played a part too. Samsung hopes to take advantage of Huawei’s struggles by launching the Galaxy S30 series in January, as we previously reported.
