Samsung takes over the Chinese Market in 2012

First, we have to mention that in the past China was one of Symbian's strongholds, Nokia had a couple of deals with local carriers and basically everything seemed locked in for the future.

Turns out, though, a lot has changed in the last year and now Nokia has tumbled catastrophically giving away the lead to Samsung and Apple, of course. Samsung has now taken over as the biggest phone maker in China, followed by Cupertino, and that's one thing that makes the Asian country similar to the States.
