In July, 619,000 smartphones were sold in Taiwan, a 1.9 percent increase on the previous month. Samsung took the crown for both highest overall sales volume and the best-selling single handset, with Apple falling to fourth place, losing out to rival manufacturers Samsung, Asus and HTC. The Amazing X3s handset, sold by Taiwan Mobile, was the sixth best selling handset in July.
According to market research, the top five smartphone manufacturers in Taiwan during July — by total sales volumes — were: Samsung, 25 percent; Asus, 15.8 percent; HTC, 15 percent; Apple, 14.2 percent and Sony, 8.9 percent. Samsung and Sony’s sales volumes and market share increased slightly over June, while HTC’s market share remained stable. However both Apple and Asus lost ground during July.
In terms of Apple’s sales figures and market share for July, the company is currently gearing up to release new models and, although it is still able to rely on its premium iPhone brand to hold on to its leading position in terms of sales revenue, its market share has now sunk below the 40 percent mark to 36.8 percent.

Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries.
