Lenovo is on the rise, at least for their business results. PC market is going down, they don't care they are selling more PC's then ever and smartphone sales are also going up.
Last year Lenovo passed HP and became the biggest PC distributor in the world. This is a title they don't plan to give up, as their sale results are increasing. Whats interesting in their report is that they have actually sold more smartphones then PC's. Lenovo has shipped 15.8 million smartphones and 14.5 million PC's in their last quarter. This is a 39% increase in shipment, compered to the same quarter last year.
Smartphone shipments puts Lenovo at number four smartphone-seller in the world. Keep in mind most of their sales are still in China. This doesn't necessarily needs to be a bad thing, Because China is a growing market and their economy is also on the rise.
In previous months there have much talk about Lenovo, not about heir sale results so much, but rather their accusation of Motorola. China based company bought Motorola from Google for $2.9 billion. So far the plan is to keep the Motorola logo on their smartphones, maybe this is their attempt of making an impact in the western markets. So far they haven't been able to compete against Apple and Samsung outside of China, they are hopping Motorola name will give them that chance.
Motorola name or not, they will still need quality products if they want to succeed on the western markets like USA and EU. This is not something they have been able to pull of so far, but if they want that number one spot in the smartphone sale results this is one area they will have succeed at.
