The bar chart compares the revenues of five mobile phone brands throughout 2009, 2011 and 2013.
Overall, ZTE, especially Samsung and Apple, demonstrated a remarkable increase in their sales figures, with Samsung overtaking Nokia as the most successful phone brand in 2013. LG and Nokia, however, registered a steep decline in their revenues.
Among the brands that experienced an uprising in sales figures, Samsung displayed the most significant growth, almost doubling their figures from $250 million to $450 million, eventually becoming the top-selling brand in 2013. Apple also saw a drastic increase, albeit less drastic than Samsung, from about $25 million in 2009 to $150 million in 2013. ZTE also exhibited a slight growth in its figures, from $50 million in 2009 to about $52 million in 2013.
Conversely, Nokia and LG experienced substantial declines in their sales volumes. Nokia, despite being the most purchased mobile phone brand in 2009 with a global revenue of $450 million in 2009 , plummeted to just $250 million in 2013, only matching Samsung sales figures in 2009. LG figures likewise recorded a decrease, albeit to a much lesser degree, falling from $125 million in 2009 to just $75 million in 2013.
41 days until test. I am aiming for a band 7+ score on both writing tests. Appreciate it!
