Lenovo Overtakes Samsung, Becomes No. 1 Smartphone in China

Vying to be a global player

Lenovo overtook Samsung as the No. 1 smartphone maker in China and the fourth largest worldwide in the second quarter of 2014, according to the company and research firm IDC. 

The latest market gains show how the world’s largest personal computer maker is positioning itself as a major global competitor against top smartphone brands Apple and Samsung. At the same time, the China-based Lenovo is preparing for further growth as it completes $5 billion in acquisitions of Google’s Motorola Mobility handset unit and IBM’s low-end server unit.
