14 DAY TRIAL // Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia accounted for 23 percent of the smartphone sales in Finland during the first quarter of the year, a recent report from IDC unveils.
Apparently, the company managed to sell around 100,000 devices in the country in the timeframe, out of a total of 430,000 smartphones.
Unfortunately for Nokia, it did not manage to top the smartphone market in the first three months of the year, as the title went to Samsung, with 186,000 sold units and a 43 percent market share.
Even so, Nokia’s performance is a good one, presuming that most of the smartphones it sold were Lumias, which also shows that Windows Phone is slowly increasing its market share too.
On the other hand, as WMPoweruser notes, Nokia and Microsoft need to focus more on the marketing of the OS and of devices powered by it, so as to increase sales.
