The Korean Times has reported that the Korean-phone maker, Samsung, has announced that they plan to ship 510 million phones by 2013. That is surpassing their 2012 total shipment of 420 million devices. Samsung in 2012 has already grabbed the greater chunk of the global market share in both smartphones and feature phones, being the #1 phone/smartphone manufacturer. With that plan of shipping 510 million devices, Samsung said that it will be comprising 390 million as smartphones and 120 million as feature phones. Also, Samsung said that with that number it expects to contribute 29% of global shipment of mobile devices. With the Samsung Galaxy S IV ready to be announced at MWC 2013, this should not be a problem for Samsung. All they really have to do is to keep on spitting out stellar devices in 2013 and this trend will apparently continue.
