（一）
Which is the most popular smartphone among Chinese people? The answer is not Apple but Samsung.
According to Strategy Analytics, a research company, Samsung sold more than 30 million smartphones in China’s smartphone market. Apple only took third place in the list, after Lenovo. Samsung’s victory over Apple came not only in China, but also in the world smartphone market. According to Reuters, Samsung had 30.3 percent of the market in 2012 while Apple had only 19 percent. However, in the US, Apple still sells the most smartphones.
Samsung’s success comes largely from its innovation(创新).On March 14 this year, its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S IV came out. The new phone adds something new. For example, it allows use of both the front and rear cameras at the same time and puts them in one picture. Samsung also works hard on promotion(推广). In an advertisement Samsung made for Galaxy S III in September last year, a young man using a Samsung phone is waiting in line for iphone 5. people in the line say: “You’re going to throw away that phone, right?” he explains that he’s just holding the spot(占位) for his parents.
After seeing the advertisement, some people might get the idea that iphone users are old and Samsung users are young and fashionable.
However, Samsung phones are far from perfect. There are also some consumers(消费者) who are not all too satisfied with newly released Galaxy S IV. Some say the 5-inch screen makes it hard to put into a pocket. In 2012, Samsung lost lawsuit(诉讼) in the US for copying features of the iphone and ipad.
As two mobile giants(巨头), Apple and Samsung will continue to try their best to beat each
