New Top Smartphone Makers Emerging

There are changes occurring in the smartphone market worldwide, much of it stemming from the most populated country--China. According to the International Data Corporation there were just under 335 million smart phones shipped in the first quarter of 2016, up 600,000 from first quarter in 2015. This was the smallest growth from one year to the next on record—though it should be noted that it was still growth. Another change was in the companies that comprised the top five phone sellers.
