been recorded.
China and India lead the game within APeJ, while Germany and Russia were
the
leading country markets in Europe.

decline of -3.2% in worldwide shipments to 33.9 million units. By 2017,
worldwide shipments are expected to drop further to 109.6 million units, lower
than the previous forecast of 110.8 million units, as the adoption of mobile
