Lenovo, the world's biggest PC maker, has announced that they now ship more smartphones than PCs, a major milestone for the company.
Additionally, the company claimed it was the top Chinese phone maker during the quarter, although research firms have disputed that data point, instead claiming Xiaomi was the leader in the market.
For the quarter, Lenovo shipped 15.8 million smartphones (up 39 percent year-over-year), versus 14.5 million PCs during the same time frame.
Although on a smaller scale, tablet sales jumped 67 percent to 2.3 million, officially making Lenovo third in that market, well behind Apple and Samsung.
Overall, Lenovo has 19.8 percent of the PC market, ahead of giants like HP and Dell, and saw notebook growth this quarter while the overall market saw a decline.
