Samsung sets an anti-record for smartphone shipments in 2020

The past year has been difficult for both people and companies. Moreover, the crisis associated with the pandemic did not affect

only “small” businessmen, but also heavyweights in the form of international giants. Samsung, for example, set an anti-record for smartphone shipments in 2020.

That is, if in 2011 a South Korean companyreached the level of 300 million smartphones shipped per year, then every year the subsequent manufacturer tried to even if not increase the indicators, then leave them at least at the same level. And to the last he succeeded. But in 2020, things went downhill.

At the end of the third quarter, Samsung was able toonly ship 189 million smartphones. And according to the most optimistic estimates of analysts, the best that the company can count on for the entire 2020 is an indicator of 270 million devices shipped. How exactly this event will affect the value of the company's shares and the strategy for creating future devices - only time will tell.
