Samsung reported revenues of $4.45 billion, an 82 percent jump from the same period in 2011.

While it's widely agreed that Samsung has as the largest seller of cell phones in the world, the Korean company's status as the King of Smartphone sales isn't as clear cut.

Samsung, you see, likes to keep its cell phone sales numbers close to its vest, so those numbers are, at best, educated guesses. For Samsung's total cell phone sales during the period, most of the guesses place Samsung for smartphones, it's a mixed bag.

Even when estimators generally agree, however, their estimates can vary widely. For example, pegged Samsung cell phone shipments for the quarter ending in March at 83.4 million -- a slim 700,000 more than Nokia's reported 82.7 million. Meanwhile, guessed that Samsung shipments were 93.5 million, greater than 10 million more than Nokia.

Shipment estimates for Samsung smartphones also varied, but showed less consensus. Strategy Analytics, for instance, crowned Samsung King of Smartphone sales, with units shipped. On the other hand, pegged March quarter shipments at 32 million, which would make it an also-ran against Apple.
