Samsung Catching Up Motorola in Mobile Phone market share

There is no competition for the first place. Nokia has captured it and it seems that the other mobile phone makers have accepted the fact that Nokia would rule. So, they are trying for the second spot. Until now, Motorola had it. Now, Samsung is gaining ground and soon Samsung may actually overtake Motorola and be the number 2 player in the mobile phone market world wide.

Americans Network reported:

A series of miscues in its handset division has sent Motorola's market share tumbling to 15.3% in the second quarter, down from a high of 22% last year, according to forecasts by CIBC World Markets analyst Ittai Kidron, which were quoted by the report.

Meanwhile, South Korea-based Samsung, which has seen its market share climb to 14.5%, is a close third, the Associated Press report added.

The decline comes about a year after experts thought Motorola was on a path to surpass rival Nokia for a spot as the world's top mobile phone company, it said.

Samsung really deserves to be in the second position. Samsung is always investing in research on mobile phone technology. Of course, Motorola will not want to lose its market share further. So, it will be an interesting fight in the next few months.

Who will win?
