Samsung’s ‘Durable’ War, leads to global foldable models

Last year we have heard the news that Samsung topped the global smartphone market in the third quarter last year by a 21.2 percent share, and it’s interesting to know that Samsung is followed by Apple (15.9 percent), Oppo (15.7 percent), Xiaomi (13.7 percent), and Vivo (10.5 percent).

Samsung said its sales growth is driven by the Galaxy Z Flip 3, the Galaxy Fold 3, and Galaxy A series, which gained huge popularity in North America and Europe. Samsung has huge popularity in the North American smartphone market.

One of the most interesting things is that Samsungs market share was 37 percent, which is just double that of Apple’s 14 percent, and this is quite strange for a US-based company.
