这些数据显示了智能手机销量普遍下滑的趋势,其原因在于：如今,发达国家消费群体持有的智能手机和平板电脑数量比之前增加不少,买新换旧的速度也较之前减慢.当然,还有一些其他的影响因素,比如疲软的国际货币形势,以及人们对于经济衰退的忧患意识,特别是在中国.
In total, around 1.4 billion smartphones were shipped last year, which, while a 9.4 per cent rise over the same period in 2014, was the slowest rate of growth in the sector since its early days in 2008.

Chinese vendor Huawei was the year's success story after increasing its sales by 53 per cent, making it the world's third-largest vendor. Huawei previously announced it sold more than 100 million smartphones during 2015, a figure Gartner places at around 104 million.

Fellow China-based brand Xiaomi's sales were revealed to be worse than predicted, after the company claimed to have sold more than 70 million units during 2015, down from its previous estimate of 80 million, which had been revised from the original projection of 100 million. According to Gartner, the company sold closer to 65 million smartphones.
据透露,另一个中国品牌——小米手机的销售量却远低于预期.之前,小米公司称2015年小米手机已售出7000万台,低于8000万台的销售预期,这个销售预期是经过修改的,原本的预期为1亿台.据高德纳公司称,小米公司智能手机销售量仅为近6500万台.
