Samsung and Apple take over smartphone sales in Q2 2012

2. taco50 (banned) posted on 27 Jul 2012, 09:40 4 13

Samsung doesn't report it. They don't even report smartphone sales so the 50 million is an analyst best guess.

oh samsung this samsung that please taquito haha.. When are you going to give up on this feud between you and Android fans?
Why does it matter if its analyst projection they could have very well sold more then that or a bit less either way SAMSUNG is on a roll.

i dont see iphone broken down by model either, taco.. so whats your point?

Even if their guess is off 20% which is pretty unheard of, they still smashed apple. Get over it.

Exactly....

Just last year the iPhone 3GS was in the top 5 phones sold at the beginning of the year.

All of Apple sales arent the 4 and 4S. Those cheaper iPhones are getting sold too...

I believe the recent court mandates that both companies divulge financial records makes that statement incorrect taco.
Please, try to stay on top of things if you're going to troll.
I mean, it's one thing to troll, but it's another to troll with the wrong information.

Thank you Roscuthii i was going to add that.. and oh how he loves to troll that poor taquito..

Care to provide a link that backs up your statement? I mean, you are the one that claimed this information is incorrect. Burden of proof is on the plaintiff you know.

Fair enough, but we're talking 52 million to 26 million. Do you think the analysts could be over 26 million units off? Face it, just like last quarter, Samsung is the biggest smartphone seller in the world.

Samsung obviously had a great quarter. I was answering his question of why no breakdown for which smartphones sold how much.

i have come to the conclusion that when apple updates they only update for certain things and call it brand new for instance the in-app purchase but and maps are going to be fix on and added in the iOS 6 update while apps on android can usually be update independently of the OS. apple needs to do the same thing instead of making a whole new version of ios just for a few changes here and there.

14. taco50 (banned) posted on 27 Jul 2012, 11:57 2 2

What? Apps on iOS get independent updates all the time.

There's already a fix in place for in app purchases, but theyre working on a better one

31. OSFantasma posted on 27 Jul 2012, 15:58 0 0

yes for sold apps im talking about the system apps and settings

Because it's so much more powerful than the competition, offers choice, and unlike three years ago, it's as smooth and fluid as any other mobile OS.

21. taco50 (banned) posted on 27 Jul 2012, 12:55 2 2

No it still lags. I've tested it myself. Jellybean is attempting to address the lag issues.

22. Evil_SaNz posted on 27 Jul 2012, 13:12 3 1

Isn't attempting, JB addressed the lag with triple buffering. So now you got real multitasking, real time notifications (push byebye) animated backgrounds with no lag - iOS is still stuck in year 2007, but is magic!

I'm going this on the Verizon variant right now. Zero lag anywhere on this phone. Period. I can't even make it lag by opening lots of apps. I've tried.

Not surprising, as with Gingerbread my Thunderbolt had no lag (as I showed on YouTube with a demo of the phone)

I have a RAZR that on GB and with Blur didnt or didnt as much.

A Rezound on GB and Sense UI that didnt or didnt as much.

A G Nex with stock ICS that didnt.

I wonder do ppl equate the launcher with overall phone use. Cuz I just installed Apex and Nova launcher....and they are both faster, less laggy than stock ICS or Blur launchers.

Sense UI launcher is pretty lag free too.

On my Droid X1 ....the stock launcher was laggy as hell...but the rest of the phone was better.

Wah wah. My smartphone platform of choice is getting its ass kicked in consumer preference. (And features, function, etc...)

46. webOSlove posted on 30 Jul 2012, 13:03 0 0

the only reason people dont choose webOS over Android is because 90% percent of them dont even know its a choice that exists . everyone i know who has switched from android to webOS finds it much better and intuitive. in my opinion webOS s a hell of alot better

Agreed. It is what gets the Job done. I too was an iPhone user but about a year ago during my renewal period opted for S2 Skyrocket after waiting for the iPhone 4s which turned out to be a duplicate of the iPhone 4, in my opinion, and really offered nothing really innovating. I had a need for increased data speed as I am always on the go for work producing and receiving large data files thus LTE was a top priority. Also I wanted the freedom to differentiated myself from everyone else via wallpapers widgets etc... and Android offered that ability. It came down to personal preferences.

One thing that saddens me though is that Apple is engaging in this petty patent war. This really tarnishes their fine reputation in my eyes and really makes them seem like a bully in the local school yard. and we know how much everyone hates Bullies. and sooner then later bullies always get the terrible whipping that's coming to them by someone else bigger and stronger then they are.

28. networkdood posted on 27 Jul 2012, 14:40 2 1

OMG!! You do not believe that SIRI is innovative? lol....

32. tedkord posted on 27 Jul 2012, 15:59 0 0

LTE is pretty awesome.

38. jroc74 posted on 27 Jul 2012, 19:21 0 0

Ppl still have to buy those variety of phones tho, regardless. They must make phones that ppl want...not saying they are a better company, but that they have a product that ppl want. Just like Apple. We can probably eliminate Win Mo and WP7 phones tho...lol. Sorry MS fans.

Most or a good chunk of the market share is probably from Android phones.

But yea....even vs other Android manufactures.....ppl complain about Motorola making too many Android phones....and dont realize Samsung has more Android phones out than Motorola. Motorola kinda stopped making low end phones while Samsung and HTC started making more. And Motorola doesnt even make WP phones.
