Nokia is surpassed by sales of Apple and Samsung smartphones

Apple, followed closely by Samsung, surpassed the market share of Nokia's smartphones, worldwide, in the second quarter, according to market research conducted by Strategy Analytics.

Nokia, the market leader in this segment for 15 years, has fallen to 3rd in sales ranking of smartphone behind Apple and Samsung. Nokia declined in market share to 15.2% from 38.1 percent, but held a year ago, as consumers opted for more sophisticated operating systems developed by Apple and Google. As a result Nokia was forced to collaborate with Microsoft to produce Windows Phone.

In the future, Apple's success depends on keeping the iPhone launch, which, according to several sources on the market, will take place in September.

Samsung announced that profits fell, but sales of smartphones have increased. Samsung announced that it has sold 5 million units of the model Galaxy S II, only 85 days since it was on sale.
