Lenovo now ships more smartphones than PCs





Lenovo has been rapidly expanding beyond its PC-focused roots for some time, and today it crossed another important milestone: it's now selling more smartphones than computers. The Chinese tech firm's handset shipments surged 39 percent year-over-year in the fiscal quarter that ended in June, reaching 15.8 million; in contrast, it "only" delivered 14.5 million PCs over the same period. Nearly all the phones (13 million) went to the company's homeland, where it's well-known for both its budget devices and high-end flagships like the recently-launched Vibe Z2. Lenovo's claim that it was the top Chinese phone maker during the quarter is up for dispute, however -- estimates suggest that Xiaomi was the top dog by a significant margin.
