Well well well, Motorola’s reign as the leading handset vendor in the US is finally over as Samsung has move to first place. The companies who sold the most cellphones are Samsung with 22.4 percent of the market share, and LG with a surprisingly 20.5 percent share. Although Motorola is second with 21.1 percent, the company is visibly struggling as a year before they had an impressive 32.7 percent market share.

“Samsung’s growing retail presence and an attractive high-tier handset portfolio for all of the big four operators have proved crucial in grabbing the prestigious title of the No. 1 vendor in the world’s single largest handset market,” said analyst Bonny Joy.

Although the economical crisis is affecting everyone, the cellphone US market raised with 6.2 percent over the previous year to 47.4 million handsets.
