It's no secret that both the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5 will be battling it out later this year, but the two most popular phone makers on the planet, Apple and Samsung, have already shown markedly different trends as of late.

Apple is Samsung's only competition. I would never see Lenovo as a threat to either of these companies. Not even Microsoft.

Lenovo still has a long way to go before they are a threat to anyone in the smartphone market. I really doubt Samsung has much to worry about right now unless they pull a blackberry.

I suspect Dell said the same thing when Lenovo entered the PC market.
