The July-September period witnessed a 44% rise in shipments and therefore has marched ahead of the global rival Apple Inc to become the Top smartphone maker. The shipments have jumped to 44% to 27.8 million units as compared to the preceding quarters which is approximately four times than the previous year. On the contrary, the sale of Apple iPhones has reduced by 16% and came down to 17.1 million units in the third quarter.
