| Mobile Minute: Researchers are not in agreement on who is dominating the world’s largest smartphone market – they just know it isn’t Samsung. IDC says that Lenovo is China’s top smartphone vendor with 12.5% of the market, while Canalys claims that Xiaomi dominates with a 14% share. Samsung’s share hovers around 12%. Whoever is in the lead now, Lenovo would seem to be the Chinese smartphone vendor to watch, at least for U.S. consumers. The company plays in the U.S. market as well as in Asia, and its U.S. presence will increase significantly when it closes on its purchase of Motorola Mobility. During the most recent quarter, Lenovo sold more smartphones than personal computers, and saw its revenue surge 18% versus the year-ago quarter. Profits rose 23%. One of the products Lenovo will inherit later this year when it closes on its Motorola purchase is the Moto 360 smart watch. For more on that see today’s video below. |
