The demand for smartphones has been increasing in leaps and bounds and the day is not far when it will cover the whole market.A research by IHS showed that by 2013 the smartphone market will cover more that half of the all cell phones to be precise 54%.To your surprise this figure was expected by 2015 but smartphones are growing so fast that it will cover that figure 2 years earlier.
According to IHS it has Divided cell phones in three categories.
1) smartphones
2) feature phones
3) ultra low cost cell phones
“Over the past 12 months, smartphones have fallen in price, and a wider variety of models [has] become available, spurring sales of both low-end smartphones in regions like Asia-Pacific, as well as midrange to high-end phones in the United States and Europe.”
By 2016, IHS said, smartphones will represent 67.4 percent of the total mobile handset market.The most basic phones will account for just 4 percent of the market by then, with feature phones representing 28 percent of shipments.
Samsung of South Korea became the overall worldwide leader in handsets during the first quarter, displacing Nokia of Finland, which had occupied the top spot for well over a decade and is now at No. 2. U.S.-based Apple.
