Xiaomi’s market share for Q3 of 2014 was at 5.3%, ranking below Samsung and Apple but above Lenovo which is at 5.2%. However, after 24 hours, Lenovo catapulted itself in third place when it completed its acquisition of Motorola Mobility on October 30 with a new market share of 7.4%.

As for the other top handset manufacturers, Samsung still leads at 23.8% market share, followed by Apple at 12.0%. But considering Xiaomi’s year-over-year growth rate, let’s see if Lenovo/Motorola can maintain its position.

    Good to know that Lenovo acquired Motorola instead of letting it shut down. I have only had two Motorola phone units but those two have been most noteworthy for their designs.
