We now have the final numbers for the total smartphone shipments, as reported by the big 4 in smartphone analyst houses: Gartner, IDC, Canalys and Strategy Analytics. I have taken, as always, the average of their reported quarterly total numbers and am calling the third quarter total smartphone sales at 80 million even. Last quarter was at 61.7 million.
So the year is only heating up with smartphone sales! I am now projecting the year to end in the 290M to 300M range, which is well above what all analysts (including me) thought at the start of this year. It means also, that we are very close to whether smartphones outsell all types of personal computers including tablet PCs, this year. I was expecting that to happen next year.
The top 4 makers for the Android family in Q3 split as follows:
1. HTC 33%
2. Samsung 31%
3. Motorola 18%
4. SonyEricsson 8%
others 10%
As always, feel free to quote any of these numbers and please mention that the source is TomiAhonen Consulting.
For anyone interested in the industry statistics and numbers, remember my annual publication with 84 charts, tables and graphs of the major mobile industry numbers - at 180 pages, its a terriffic bargain at only 9.99 Euros. See sample stats and pages at TomiAhonen Almanac 2010
