Smartphone sales over 50% of market
With worldwide shipments of 216.2 million units during the first quarter, smartphones grabbed 51.6 percent of the total mobile phone market, according to InformationWeek.
This is the first time that hardware makers have shipped more smartphones than feature phones on a global basis.
Phone makers shipped 418.6 million devices during the quarter, which was up 4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter (402.4 million), but down compared to the previous quarter (483.2 million). The first quarter typically sees a downturn in sales following the holiday quarter, so these numbers are following the seasonal trends.
