“The competitive reality of the mobile phone market in 2012 was ‘live by the smartphone; die by the smartphone,'” said Wayne Lam, senior analyst for wireless communications at IHS.

During the past quarter Samsung has sold 98 million mobile phones of which 55 million were smartphones.

In comparison Nokia only managed to manufacture and sell 7.2 million smartphones.

Apple has grabbed third place with 10 percent share of the global market.

IHS attributed Nokia’s declining performance to the change in direction to Windows 8 smartphones that are not proving popular with consumers.

Samsung saw its smartphone shipments rise 8 percent in 2011 while Nokia saw the biggest dip in its smartphone shipments to just 5 percent, which was an 11 percent decrease over 2011.

Apple has 20 percent of the total smartphone market.

HTC has 5 percent of the smartphone market.
