Economictimes.Indiatimes: Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S3 became the world's best-selling
Smartphone model last quarter, pushing aside Apple Inc's iPhone, which has
dominated the chart for more than two years, research firm Strategy Analytics
said on Thursday.
Strategy Analytics estimated Samsung sold 18 million S3 models in
the third quarter, compared with iPhone 4S sales of 16.2 million.
Strong sales of the flagship Galaxy S3 - which comes with a large
4.8 inch touchscreen - helped Samsung post a record $7.3 billion operating
profit in the July-September quarter.
"Samsung's Galaxy S3 has proven wildly popular with consumers
and operators across North America, Europe and Asia," said analyst Neil
Mawston, adding the new iPhone 5 would likely reclaim the top spot for Apple in
the current quarter.
