Samsung Electronics enjoys a 10.7 percent share of the Chinese mobile phone market for the 100 best-selling models in the world's most populous country, according to the report by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI).
The report was based on sales figures for mobile phones sold by foreign and local handset manufacturers over the past two years, the KISTI said.
