During the first quarter, Samsung shipped 42.2 million smartphones around the world, gaining a market share of 29.1%.Apple has shipped 35.1 million instead of the iPhone reaching just behind with 24.2% market share.
In Q1 2011 the situation was almost reversed with 11.5 million devices shipped by Samsung and Apple, which still maintained its leadership with its 18.6 million iPhone.
