The table shows the number of mobile phones sold in millions for a period of six years.

The table shows the number of mobile phones sold in millions for a period of six years. Ngqg

The table provides data about how many million telephones were vended from several different brands per year from 2006 to 2012. Overall, two of the companies (Nokia and Samsung) maintained bigger sales throughout the six-year period compared to the other three (Ericsson, Motorola and Apple). In 2016, Nokia sold the highest number of mobile phones (345 million) whereas Apple did not make any sales. However, from the following year the number of phones purchased from Apple started to increase rapidly, reaching its peak in 2012 (135. 8 million). Likewise, the figure of telephones bought from Samsung rose gradually through the time period and in 2012 it climbed to 396. 5 million, which ultimately made Samsung the most preferred brand among the rest. In contrast, the number of mobile devices sold by Nokia constantly fluctuated, falling to 335 million at the end of the period. But eventually the sales of the company remained bigger than those of Apple. On the other hand, during the first year of the period fewer phones were purchased from Samsung than from Motorola, 117 million and 210 million, respectively. Despite that fact, the number of mobile phones sold by Motorola gradually declined afterwards. Similarly, the number of those vended by Ericsson experienced a parallel and in 2012 both Motorola and Ericsson sold 28 million mobile devices.
