Why Smartphone Competition will Escalate in 2013
According to the latest market study by Informa Telecoms & Media, the smartphone market will start to diverge and sales will become dominated by two distinct categories — low-end devices (priced below $150) and high-end devices (priced above $250).
Overall, the pricing trend is downward.
More expensive smartphones will find their market share shrinking from 85 percent of total smartphones sold in 2011 to 33 percent in 2017.
