Samsung's market share has fallen significantly compared to last year.
Surprised Windows phone shipments fell. Analysts said it would have 15% by now. Doubt that will ever happen...

While Samsung's market share has fallen they still shipped about as many phones this year as last. 


It's hard to really know, since Samsung doesn't release shipment numbers, but this is Samsung's first quarterly unit drop since 2010. That's a big deal:

And of course, they've been slashing prices just to maintain this position. That's not a sustainable strategy.

The scary thing about these Chinese upstarts isn't that they can match Samsung's manufacturing costs. It's that they're actually beating Samsung at design and software while they do it.
