Motorola is currently second in the list with a market share of 14.6 percent, but according to the analysts, the company will this year by being overtaken by Samsung if it does not quickly with new models. According to analyst Ehud Gelblum of JP Morgan is now even a fact.

One of the causes of the malaise is that the top selling model, the Razr, no longer the success is that it ever was. As a result of the declining popularity of its models Motorola has in one year time third of its lost market share. Bigger losses were limited by an aggressive pricing. It is the only supplier of mobile phones that are not benefiting from the growing market.

It is Samsung, the world's number three with a market share of 13.4 percent, just before the wind. The company is slowly but surely closer to Motorola, which would be mainly due to the popularity of the Ultra Edition II line.
