Despite the highly anticipated launch of the iPhone 5, Android devices will continue to grow at a faster pace, increasing its global dominance.
Android shipments will surpass the 400 million milestone in the coming months, up a full 90 percent year-over-year.
Major OEMs like Samsung, Huawei, ZTE and LG will ramp up production, says the source, and smaller, local brands (including white-box players) will introduce entry-level phones targeted at the average Chinese user.
The report claims Apple will ship 125 million iPhones in 2012, a large 35 percent growth year-over-year. Windows Phone shipments will jump to 21 million this year, up 107.8 percent year-over-year. RIM is expected to nosedive, 41.4 percent, thanks to the delay of BlackBerry 10.
