Lenovo Group, the world’s biggest personal computer maker, says its quarterly profit rose 23 per cent as sales of smartphones and other mobile devices doubled.
Lenovo said Thursday it earned $US174 million ($A191.81 million) in the three months ending in June.
Sales rose 10 per cent over a year earlier to $US8.8 billion.
Desktop PC shipments were flat but sales of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices rose 105 per cent.
Laptop sales, which account for 52 per cent of revenue, rose 4.7 per cent.
Research firms Gartner and IDC say Lenovo edged past longtime industry leader Hewlett-Packard last quarter to become the world’s biggest PC seller for the first time.
