Jim Dalrymple Calls Bullshit on Samsung Smartphone Numbers

Today Samsung officially declared its business results for the third-quarter, and patch they didn’t promulgation the sort of smartphone units sold, that hasn’t obstructed Strategy Analytics from declaring them the organisation income leader in smartphones.

Strategy Analytics has compiled the third-quarter results of every smartphone manufacturers and expressed that Samsung [has] becomes the world’s sort digit smartphone vendor in Q3 2011. The inform states that Samsung shipped 27.8 meg smartphones and raked in a orbicular mart deal of 23.8%. While Apple slipped to ordinal place with 17.1 meg iPhones oversubscribed durning the same period, representi ng a orbicular mart deal of 14.6%.

Jim Dalrymple, from at The Loop, has made a stabbing observation. He notes that the Samsung drawing are “shipped”, patch the iPhone drawing are “sold”.

You cannot study shipped drawing to oversubscribed drawing and come up with a closing that digit consort is fighting another. You can’t.

Going on to conclude:

Samsung could ship 100 meg phones, but that doesn’t verify us how some they actually sold.

As well as conflating shipments with actual sales, Strategy Analytics has estimated Samsung’s income drawing of 27.8 million.

What do you think? Are the Samsung drawing “bullshit” as Dalrymple suggests?

With the past promulgation of the iPhone 4S, Apple is expecting all-time achievement iPhone income during the current quarter.
