New Delhi: GLOBAL smartphone sales to end users totalled 328.8 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 10.8 per cent year over year, a new report said on Wednesday.

According to a report by Gartner, overall global mobile phone sales grew 10.2 per cent despite supply constraints due to Covid-19 related production disruption and component shortages.

"Reinforced shelter-in-place instructions and factory shut-downs in India and Vietnam due to the second wave of Covid-19, along with closure of retail businesses and restrictions on online deliveries affected smartphone sales negatively in the second quarter after a strong start in beginning of 2021," said Anshul Gupta, senior research director at Gartner said in a statement.

Samsung expanded its 5G smartphone lineup at entry and midrange prices to target growth opportunities in 5G segments in the second quarter of 2021. The company maintained the number position among the top five global smartphone vendors.
