Mobile processors: Samsung outperforms Apple in participation

Samsung has surpassed the Apple and now occupies third place in the mobile processor market for smartphones, according to data from a survey by Counterpoint Research.

The company reached 14,1% market share in 2019, an increase of 2,2% compared to 2018, leaving the Apple behind, with 13,1% (a drop of 0,5% compared to the previous year). Meanwhile, the first places remain with Qualcomm and MediaTek.

The leading companies in terms of mobile processor market share did not grow during this period, maintaining their share of 33,4% (Qualcomm) and 24,6% (MediaTek).

Samsung is increasingly using MediaTek processors for its entry-level devices, and it will be interesting to see how things turn out this year. That said, it is important to keep in mind that we are living in an unusual time in the market.

The curious thing is that the other day, some users even organized a undersigned asking the company to stop producing Exynos processors. The alleged reason is that Samsung's processors would be inferior to Qualcomm's, used in models launched in the United States.

The online petition has over 18 signatures as of this writing. Despite this, with these results, Samsung's profits from Exynos will certainly keep its processor line in production for a long time.

Still second information from Counterpoint, Samsung sold 74% of 5G smartphones in the United States, remembering that the Apple has not yet launched a compatible device, which should happen this year. In any case, the number of 5G smartphones sold in the country last year was below expectations, and is equivalent to only 1% of the market.
