Samsung Electronics Co. accounted for 42.4 percent of smartphone shipments in Latin America in the first quarter, up from 37.9 percent a year ago, with the launch of new models and aggressive marketing.

Trailing Samsung was US phone maker Motorola with 21.8 percent and China's Xiaomi with 8.4 percent.
