Bloomberg: According to market research firm Gartner, Samsung sells about three times as many smartphones as Apple does in the world’s largest mobile phone market, China. Samsung currently owns 24 percent of the Chinese smartphone market, making it the number one smartphone manufacturer in the country. Apple enjoys just 7.5 percent of the market, making it China’s fifth most popular manufacturer.

Smartphone shipments to China are expected to increase 52 percent this year.
