Welcome to Smartphone Comparisons. A smartphone is a mobile phone (cell phone) offering advanced capabilities, often with PC-like functionality. There is no industry standard definition of a smartphone, but most industry watchers think that personal computers and all their capabilities will merge into the smartphone.

This means that smartphones as just a communications device will diminish, and morph into powerful personal computers with capabilities like e-mail, Internet browsing, instant messaging, video streaming, e-book reader capabilities, etc. Consumer demand for these smartphones with powerful processors, abundant memory, large screens and open operating systems will continue, as now over half the world’s inhabitants purchase them.

New Consumer Electronics Players Entering Smartphone Market this Year to Account for over 26 million Units by 2015 finds Juniper Research

A new study from Juniper Research has forecast that challengers from the consumer electronics market will achieve global sales of smartphones exceeding 26 million by 2015. In addition, Asia will assert greater influence in the production of Smartphone devices.

Hampshire, UK (PRWeb UK) 22 July 2010 — A new study from Juniper Research has forecast that challengers from the consumer electronics market will achieve global sales of smartphones exceeding 26 million by 2015. In addition, Asia will assert greater influence in the production of Smartphone devices.

“The availability of the Android operating system and the commoditised nature of several elements of the handset supply chain are behind both of these developments,” says Anthony Cox, senior Analyst at Juniper Research. “Any manufacturer with consumer electronics expertise can add mobility to their devices by incorporating an Android operating system into a smartphone,” he says, adding that they are doing so partly due to the tight margins in the PC industry.

Until five or six years ago Western Europe dominated the handset market, US manufacturers led by RIM and latterly Apple then began to assert their dominance. The market is shifting again as handset manufacturers like HTC, LG and ZTE bolster their smartphone portfolios, finds the report.

Further findings from the Smartphones report include:

At least ten players are planning to launch both smartphone and tablets this year but it remains to be seen how they will fare: “Barriers to entry may have come down but competition is fiercer than ever,” says Cox. “The consumer is likely to benefit most through lower prices and enhanced functionality,” he says, even if some players fall by the wayside.
