SEOUL, South Korea—What type of smartphone are credit union members using most?
According to a new report, it’s likely a Samsung device.
Apple and Samsung continue to dominate smartphone sales, with Samsung claiming the top spot in the U.S. this quarter, reported Digital Trends, citing Kantar Worldpanel Comtech data.
While Apple's share in the U.S. smartphone market climbed 4.7 percentage points from one-year prior, bringing it to 34%, Samsung claimed the number-one smartphone maker in the U.S. The manufacturer saw its market share increase from 32.9% to 36.2% in the three months ending in May, Digital Trends stated in its analysis.
“Kantar's latest stats reveal that even though Samsung regained the top position, it experienced a drop of 1.1%age points over the past year. To push the manufacturer ahead, it had the help of its latest flagship phone – the Galaxy S8. Even with the top spot, Katar mentioned it was less than what was expected from a full product redesign. Both Apple and Samsung also each have five models on the top ten best-selling list. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus claim the top two spots with last year's Samsung Galaxy S7 in third and the Galaxy S8 in fourth place,” Digital Trends reported.
