UBS: Samsung to sell over 60 million smartphones in the fourth quarter
Share:
UBS analyst Nicolas Gaudois says 15 million units of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S III will be sold this quarter with 5.5 million of them sold last month alone. More than 30 million Galaxy S IIIs have been sold since its launch last May. While the Samsung Galaxy S III continues to rack up sales, there is talk that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be introduced at CES 2013 with a 5 inch display offering a 1080p resolution, which works out to a fantastic 441ppi pixel density. That matches the figures of the display on the just released HTC DROID DNA. As for the Samsung GALAXY Note III, the early water cooler talk is about a 5.8 inch screen with a pixel density in the 330ppi area.
The 61.5 million smartphones that UBS expects Sammy to sell from October through December include a range of low priced models, like the Samsung Galaxy Pocket, to high-end devices like the Samsung GALAXY Note II. There are some non-Android phones that are included, like a few bada flavored devices and the Windows Phone 8 Samsung ATIV S, but those are not expected to add too much to the total.
Samsung is currently the global leader in smartphone production, having surpassed Apple in the first quarter of this year when it sold 42.2 million units versus 35.1 million sold by the Cupertino based tech firm.

Is there any wonder why Apple is going thermo-nuclear on Sammy? Sammy is eating Apple's Lunch. And Breakfast. And Dinner.

Cupertino has to pay for those Samsung parts somehow.

Idiots sammy is selling alot more devices ranging from low-end to high-end note2. While Apple is selling only one so expensive device.
Point is that samsung is gr8 company no doubt, while Apple is even gre8er selling almost 50 millions in one device.

Please don't forget the Galaxy S3 outsold iPhone 4S in Q3!
iPhone is NOT only one phone. That is just dumb it's like saying the Galaxy S1, S2 & S3 is one phone.
The fact is Apple call all of its phones "iPhone" does not make it one phone.

when this Samsung GALAXY Note III with a 5.8 inch screen is out, I will be ready to sell my note 2 just like I did before when I sold my note 1 for the note2. This is the beauty of buying unlocked phone with no contract. I enjoy the freedom of buying the latest just ontime.
