What They Say
Counterpoint Research has released a free downloadable report on features popular in the US smartphone market. The report highlights the growth in the largest class of devices. Apple and Samsung are driving the shift, accounting for 85% of all 6.5”-6.9” smartphones shipped.
The report covers memory, cameras, chipsets and battery capacity as well as major brands.
What We Think
This could be a useful resource, although as it only covers the US market, the trends may not apply globally.
The data really highlights how tough the smartphone business is. LG was the third largest brand in the US and yet it was unable to work out a way to either run an on-going business or sell the business. It really is ‘Wiinner Takes All’. (BR)
