The latest comScore report on the trends in the US smartphone industry for the three months ending in February, 2014 is out. As one can expect, Apple is the top smartphone manufacturer with 41.3% market share, while the global market leader, Samsung ranking a distant second best with a share of 27% in the United States.



LG saw a steady growth and the company now owns 6.8% of the US market. Motorola, which was recently acquired by Lenovo, is at the fourth spot with 6.3%. HTC's presence in the world's second largest smartphone market decreased further with the Taiwan manufacturer managing to capture just 5.4%.
