Global sales of smartphones to end users totalled nearly 408 million units in the fourth quarter of 2017, a 5.6% decline over the fourth quarter of 2016, according to Gartner. This is the first year-on-year decline since Gartner started tracking the global smartphone market in 2004.

“Two main factors led to the fall in the fourth quarter of 2017,” said Anshul Gupta, research director at Gartner. “First, upgrades from feature phones to smartphones have slowed down due to a lack of quality ‘ultra-low-cost’ smartphones and users preferring to buy quality feature phones.
Samsung recorded a year-on-year unit decline of 3.6% in the fourth quarter of 2017, however, it retained its number-one global smartphone vendor position, ahead of Apple.

Despite the start of a slowdown in sales of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8+, the overall success of those models has helped Samsung improve overall average selling price. Samsung is poised to announce the successors to its Galaxy series of smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC).

The launches of its next flagship devices are likely to boost Samsung’s smartphone sales in the first quarter of 2018, Gartner said.
