Smartphones  Thanks to Apple and speculation, Samsung is number one in 3Q2011.

Probably there are two facts that helped Samsung to reach the number one smartphone world spot with 20 million shipped in contrast to Apple´s iPhones  confimed it pushed 17.1 million, both in 3Q2011.

1.-Apple spread a series of suits against Samsung worldwide, and took the attention of the consumers who checked  out Samsung smartphones and find it as an attractive good option and bought them.

2.-Speculation of the iPhone 5 : about the prospect of a considerably redesigned iPhone featuring, among other things, a larger display and an all-metal, teardrop shaped casing, that hold the iPhone 4 demand.

Samsung does not specify exact smartphone shipment numbers in its quarterly reports, but a WSJ source claims the firm has topped Apple’s performance having already overtaken Nokia.

According to Strategy Analytics’ numbers, however, Samsung hit the 12m smartphones point in Q1 2011, and then exceeded 19m in Q2. There had been speculation beforehand that the Korean firm could exceed Apple’s smartphone shipments in Q2, a milestone which failed to materialize.

Instead, Samsung is expected to report strong demand in Q3 and take the top-spot for smartphones by the end of September.

On Tuesday, the company joined Google on-stage and announced the Galaxy Nexus alongside Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest iterations of the best-selling open source platform. Samsung has estimated Q3 operating profit of between $3.5bn and $3.9bn.

Nokia, meanwhile, has seen its smartphone market share continue to slide, announcing that sales of smart devices were down 38-percent in Q3, year on year, and looking to Windows Phone for the company’s salvation.
