Apple and Samsung outstrip Nokia as top smartphone vendors in Q2

[Alamaking]

Q2 of 2011 is now almost over and the results are in for the smartphone shipments volumes. Just a week ago it became certain that Apple has surpassed Nokia in smartphone shipments for Q2 but now Samsung and HTC have released their numbers. Strategy Analytics confirm that Apple has come out on top with 20.3M iPhones shipped, Samsung is a whisker away with 19.2M in second place, whilst Nokia is the only Top 3 manufacturer to report a decline in year-to-year numbers with 16.7M (Q2 of 2010 - 23.8). Interestingly enough, HTC is probably in the fourth spot with 12.1M smartphones shipped between April and June.



Byebye Nokia, give you another 5 years to close shop, LOL
