Only one third of Samsung's smartphone sales are in the class of Apple's iPhone
In a meeting with its concerned investors on Wednesday, the head of Samsung Mobile revealed numbers illustrating that the company sold fewer high end smartphones than Apple this year, and that only about a third of the company's total "smartphone" shipments are of a class really comparable to the iPhone.
If a third of Samsung's phones were removed from this chart, then Apple is the leading smartphone seller by product count and profit.

And for the third quarter in a row, Kantar's press release led not with the results for Android (No. 1) or iOS (No. 2) but with the No. 3 operating system (with a 3% percent market share worldwide): Windows Phone.
