Samsung’s rival Nokia came in second with 586,200 mentions, a paltry 20.8% in comparison.

Samsung’s nearest rival Nokia was the subject of 586,200 online conversations (20.8%) following the launch of the Nokia X. The Xperia Z2 helped Sony to third place with 18% of online conversations.

Much of the online chat related to the Nokia X cited the use of the Android operating system and the handset’s low price, however, 60% of all online conversations related to the phone were neutral, which could indicate that consumers were ambivalent about the device.
