Ryan Reith, Vice President of IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers stated;

“The continued growth of Huawei is impressive, to say the least, as is its ability to move into markets where, until recently, the brand was largely unknown,”

This is the success of Huawei in today’s market; as well as it’s a success of Huawei subordinate brand i.e. Honor according to IDC. It also claims that Huawei’s P20 and P20 Pro are in strong demand in the $600-$800 price division.

Furthermore, Samsung is again ranked on top where it sold about 71.5 million units and it took 20.9% of global market share, even with a 10.4% decrease in units shipped the previous year. The reason behind this decrease in a sale is the slow sales of Galaxy S9 and S9+ as compared to the 8 series. It is because of provided incremental update in S8 and dose not rush users to S9. Samsung going to announce Note9 soon that boost-up the Samsung sale.

Xiaomi and Oppo ranked on the fourth and fifth places. But the big news is that Xiaomi beats Samsung for the first position in India this quarter while Oppo faced downfall in India and Southeast Asia. Even then, Oppo developed 5.1% from last year’s Q2 as it expanded into new markets in the Middle East and Africa.
