Shanghai, Palo Alto, Singapore and Reading – Friday, 27 January 2012
Canalys today provided analysis of recent, record-achieving financial results issued by key smart phone vendors. The analyst firm noted strong performance from Apple and Samsung, but less than stellar outcomes for others. Leading the pack, Apple not only broke its own sales and financial records and bested the financial performances of technology companies throughout history, but also smashed the record for the most smart phones shipped globally in a single quarter by a single vendor.
