Xiaomi takes 5th place in global smartphone market in Q2
2014-07-31 12:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Global smartphone shipments grew 27 percent annually to reach 295.2 million units in the second quarter of 2014, according to Strategy Analytics. The market researcher estimates that Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi showed the strongest growth, capturing a 5 percent global market share and becoming the world's fifth-largest smartphone vendor. Overall, healthy demand in Asia and Africa in Q2 offset sluggish volumes across North America and Europe, where many operators are moving from handset subsidies to installment payments. Samsung remained the world's largest smartphone vendor, with an estimated 74.5 million phones sold versus 76.0 million a year earlier . However, its market share dipped to 25.2 percent from 32.6 percent a year ago. Apple also lost share, despite growing shipments, accounting for 11.9 percent of the global smartphone market versus 13.4 percent a year ago. Chinese manufacturers were the main winners in the quarter. Huawei strengthened its third place in the market with a 6.8 percent share, up from 4.8 percent a year earlier, Lenovo grew to 5.4 percent from 4.8 and Xiaomi jumped to 5.1 percent from 1.8 percent in the year-earlier period. LG dropped to sixth place, with a share of 4.9 percent versus 5.2 percent in Q2 2013.

Sony lowers smartphone outlook on weak emerging market sales
2014-07-31 10:06:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Sony reported higher revenues and a strong improvement in profit in the fiscal first quarter to June, driven by sales of its new Playstation. Revenues were up 5.8 percent year-on-year to JPY 1.81 trillion, helped by the launch of the Playstation 4 late last year as well as stronger film proceeds and currency effects. This offset the exit of the PC business and lower smartphone sales. Despite an increase in restructuring costs for the PC shutdown and an impairment charge on its LCD TV business, Sony's operating profit nearly doubled year-on-year to JPY 69.8 billion, thanks to a return to profit in the gaming business. Net profit jumped to JPY 26.8 billion from JPY 3.1 billion a year ago. The Mobile Communications division recorded sales up 10.1 percent to JPY 314.3 billon, or 2 percent higher excluding currency effects. Smartphone revenues were higher due to the forex effect, but unit sales decline to 9.4 million from 9.6 million a year earlier. Sony lowered its outlook for full-year smartphone sales due to weakness in the mid-range market, saying growth in emerging markets was not as strong as expected. It now expects to sell only 43 million smartphones this year, versus a forecast of 50 million in May. In light of the market developments, the company started a review of its mid-range plan for the mobile business. Despite the downgrade in the mobile outlook, Sony maintained its full-year forecast, thanks to stronger-than-expected results from gaming and image sensors.
