Motorola was once the second-largest phone maker. Now, it’s not in the top 5, either for all phones or smartphones worldwide. Google announced plans to cut 4,000 jobs at its Motorola Mobility business, or about 20 percent of the unit’s total.
Here are IDC’s figures for worldwide smartphone unit shipments and market share in the second quarter of 2012:
— Samsung Electronics Co., 50.2 million units, 32.6 percent share (17 percent a year earlier)
— Apple Inc., 26 million units, 16.9 percent share (18.8 percent a year earlier)
— Nokia Corp., 10.2 million units, 6.6 percent share (15.4 percent a year earlier)
— HTC Corp., 8.8 million units, 5.7 percent share (10.7 percent a year earlier)
— ZTE Corp., 8 million units, 5.2 percent share (1.8 percent a year earlier)
— Other, 50.7 million units, 32.9 percent share (36.2 percent a year earlier)
