根据调查机构Strategy Analytics的消息，上个季度三星取代诺基亚，成为世界最大的手机生产商，结束了诺基亚14年来在全球手机行业作为领头羊的日子。
今天Strategy Analytics在一封电子邮件中表示，三星在第一季度发布了9350万部手机，比去年增加了36%。而相比之下，诺基亚以8270万部，屈居第二。这是韩国三星第一次超越诺基亚。
由于，市场对三星Galaxy智能手机的需求不断上升，今日三星发表的第一季度净收入为5.05万亿韩元（合45亿美元），这个数字超出了分析家们的预期。诺基亚手机销售量下滑，上周公布的第一季度运营损失达到13.4万亿欧元（合18万亿美元）。
今天Strategy Analytics的一位调查员Neil Mawston表示，1998年诺基亚从摩托罗拉手中接管爱斯宝，自从那时起，诺基亚就成为最大的手机制造商。
