Q2 2013 este un trimestru fiscal care merita tinut minte, deoarece pentru prima oara in istorie, vanzarile de smartphone-uri intrec vanzarile de telefoane mobile clasice. Mai exact, vanzarile de smartphone-uri au reprezentat 51.8% din vanzarile totale de telefoane mobile de pe intregul glob, Android-ul reprezentand 79% din acea cifra. Era de asteptat ca acest lucru sa se intample mai devreme sau mai tarziu, insa iata ca totul a venit mai devreme si a venit cu probleme pentru Apple, cota de piata a companiei scazand simtitor fata de aceeasi perioada a anului trecut.
Worldwide mobile phone sales to end users totaled 435 million units in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 3.6 percent from the same period last year, according to Gartner, Inc. Worldwide smartphone sales to end users reached 225 million units, up 46.5 percent from the second quarter of 2012. Sales of feature phones to end users totaled 210 million units and declined 21 percent year-over-year. “Smartphones accounted for 51.8 percent of mobile phone sales in the second quarter of 2013, resulting in smartphone sales surpassing feature phone sales for the first time,” said Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner. Asia/Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe exhibited the highest smartphone growth rates of 74.1 percent, 55.7 percent and 31.6 percent respectively, as smartphone sales grew in all regions.
In total, 435 de milioane de telefoane mobile au fost vandute in lumea intreaga, iar 225 de milioane dintre aceste au fost smartphone-uri, restul de 210 milioane fiind terminale mobile clasice. Daca numarul de smartphone-uri vandute a cescur cu 46.5% fata de aceeasi perioada a anului trecut, in cazul telefoanelor clasice vorbim despre o scadere cu 21% a cifrei de vanzari. In viitor discrepanta in vanzari dintre cele doua tipuri de telefoane mobile va fi si mai mare pe masura ce tot mai multi utilizatori vor alege telefoanele destepte.
