The bar chart illustrates international
sales
of cell phones by five popular brands in three separate years: 2009, 2011, and 2013.
Overall
, it is clearly observable that
sales
by Samsung experienced the largest rise,
whereas
Nokia accounted for the most prominent decline in
sales
during
this
period. On the one hand, the number of mobile phones that were bought from Samsung, Apple, and ZTE had been increasing over the whole period.
However
, the most significant growth was associated with the Samsung brand, where
sales
rose from just under 240 to approximately 450 million.
Furthermore
,
this
chart reveals that the figure for
sales
of Apple in 2013 was approximately six times as much as that of 2009.
On the other hand
, the
sales
of the two remaining brands, Nokia and LG, fell between 2009 and 2013. The figure for cell phones that were sold by Nokia decreased substantially from around 450 to 250 million.
Similarly
,
sales
of the LG brand were nearly halved (from just over 120 to well over 60 million).
