Samsung still strong in USA. Thanks to most high-tech Samsung's high-end smartphones to take one-third market of smartphone in Apple's state.
So.... samsung is still pretty strong in premium market?

Adding a core to a cpu doesn't necessarily make it "better". And as for the software "leadership", it comes from most part from an US company (Google) and another US-company (Microsoft) reaps the benefits of it. So who's fooling who?
Look, I'm not an Apple fan at all, I don't even own anything from Apple (anymore) but I find these derogatory comments like the one below completely wrong.
" I feel so sorry for people who buy inferior products, such as iPhone - they lack the technological literacy necessary to make an informed decision."
Why is an iPhone an inferior product? Their CPU's are top notch and the rest o/t hardware too. Sure they keep clinging on to that 8MP camera-module. But is HTC's 4MP so bloody good then? Or what about Sony's crappy 20MP module that produces awful photos?
And yes, I too don't like Apple's restrictions not their awful UI. Hell, I don't like iPhones. But that is just my personal opinion which I can argument with points that are important to me. It doesn't mean that the product itself is inferior.
And yes there are a lot of people whom lack the technological literacy to make an informed decision. A lot buys iPhones and the rest buy Samsung. But there's more out there than Samsung and Apple. I personally dislike Samsung as much as Apple (or Microsoft for that matter)!
ATM only Jolla have my respect (and money). They did it. Make a phone and an OS, promising regularly updates and indeed delivering them without discrimination. Hats off to them, not the mass-producing mega corporations with shitloads of money making the rich bastards richer and richer.
Just letting it be known that the fake Freeze.Game who posted @ 2014-08-07 11:52 isn't me. Notice the (.) dot in the name.
And pay attention to the "Encoded Location" code (3s4B) directly below the post. Mine is "rM3S" and always has been, as my IP Address hasn't changed.
He/she is so obsessed with me that it has come to this...Lol. Nice try though!
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!

No way?!!?!?!? Apple has never been second biggest phone company in China, not even close.
They seems to be missing App Store. Also, iPhone's search function, Mail and Stocks are all build into iOS and not an app, they are not showing in the stats.

Xiaomi and Lenovo are FIRST and THIRD in China
Whilst in the US it is almost automatic to buy an iPhone.. The iPhone it is ONLY A PREMIUM PRICED DEVICE not a premium product
Samung and Apple were 1st in 2nd in China, Xiaomi displaced Apple then Samsung and Lenovo is doing the same having already displaced Apple and needs under a million sales to surpass Samsung
Xiaomi and lenovo are NOT producing PREMIUM phones by todays standards, they would have been premium phones 2 or 3 years ago.
In raising the standard ever more these mid range phones have specs that suit the majority of consumers
I really do not expect the 5.5" Apple phone to even come close to the specs of the LG G3,(LG in a smart move dropped the price so when apple launches LG will cost LESS)
The rumoured specs listed for the iPhone has it still at 8Mp with a 2GHz Dual Core processor.
I predict the 4.7" will ONLY be 1.5GHz and the 5.5" 1.7GHz
Apple are clearly IMO worried and that is why the launch event has been brought forward by 10 days, in a hope consumer will wait 6 days to see what Apple offers
So yes Samsung are leading the way, but globally like Apple are losing markets especially in Asia
In the US Apple rules supreme, but there has to come a point when consumers realise they are STILL paying a ever INCREASING premium prices for what is essentially "old" technology and Sapphire coating is just that (no real sapphires were harmed or mined in the actual coating process)
The ONLY thing that iPhoe can brag about are it benchmarks aside from that well..
If Apple again dominate the US after release of the iPhone 6, then I for one will be mystified.

People have families, careers, social lives, bills, and lots of other things to think about before they waste time on finding the phone with the best paper specs. They get a phone they like and works for them and will switch in a couple of years. They neither need nor pay attention to your pity.

These 'App' data penetration has no validity whatsoever. Being installed means nothing. I hardly use google+ (if ever...) but my OGP comes preinstalled with it. So does it count as 'installed'? Similarly a lot of smartphones come preinstalled with FB/ Instagram and other social apps - which the user never uses...
So, I don't get it...
Whaat? Tinder not in top 5?
Men lie, women lie, facts don't. iOS's growing market share is a clear sign of Samsung's continued hardware and software leadership. The Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4, together with refreshed Galaxy Gear smartwatches, will lead the way in technology innovation for the remainder of 2014. I feel so sorry for people who buy inferior products, such as iPhone - they lack the technological literacy necessary to make an informed decision.

They should, lots of people are not gonna be happy with the size of the iPhone 6 and we know they are not happy about 5c.
Well when it's about Muricans I expected Apple to have something like 99.99% and all others 0.01% combined!
Disappointed :(
Ironically Google made better apps in iOS then in Androids.
Take Chrome for example. The Android version is Junk compared to iOS.
The coming of iPhone 6 will continue to see growth. A 2013 iPhone is still rocking the market lol.. tis goes to show which phone is KING.
