Huawei acquired the No.2 spot with 8.1 million devices beating Lenovo, with their 7.9 million devices sold. Chinese brand Coolpad took the fourth place with 7.1 million, followed by ZTE with 6.4 million sold. Samsung has become a massive hit in China, edging out Apple in the first quarter with only 6.1 million devices. However, the story may be different when Apple launches its iPhone 5S or lower range phones in near future to draw back some market share loss, as Apple is still very popular with the younger Chinese population. Samsung is taking the advantage of the Android platform and specializing in advanced technology on display and is stepping in to rule the smartphone market. However, there is a long way to go and competitors are just getting stronger and stronger in this market. So let’s see in the end who will really be the king of smartphones. Souce: The Korea Herald
