Poor financial performance of many (if not all) of the companies in the market of traditional computers does not mean that the smartphone manufacturers are very happy. Some, such as Samsung and Apple, more or less control the situation and get most of the market , while the BlackBerry, HTC, Nokia and other brands definitely are not doing good.
Example with Nokia with removal of Symbian and transition to a little-familiar mobile OS with Microsoft, resulted that sales of Nokia fell and fell. For the second quarter 2013, the company sold 7.4 million smartphones series Lumia. For comparison, in the same quarter last year sold 10.2 million smartphones o(including smartphones on Symbian), which is 27% more than the current result. However, the good news that, compared with sales of smartphones in the first quarter performance has improved by 32%, because in the first three months of 2013 was 5.6 million units sold. Also, Lumia sales are growing , which a year ago sold 4 million units.
Another problem Nokia is that almost half of the proceeds the company receives from sales of conventional cell phones. Consumers quickly switched to the budget smartphones, which reduces the demand for the Finnish mobile handset manufacturer. During the year the volume of sales of mobile handsets of the company fell by 27% from 73.5 million units to 53.7 million as a result of the company's revenue in the second quarter of 2013 amounted to 5.96 billion euros - is about 25% less than in the second quarter 2012 (it was 7.54 billion euros). Bright spot in the financial statement of the company is the decline in operating losses from 824 million euros to 150 million at the other end of the curve. Related Products :
