Huawei Has Surpassed Apple as the World’s Second Largest Smartphone Brand
by Kimkam Soon seo specialistHuawei, China’s leading smartphone maker, surpassed Apple’s global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July, according to analysis by consulting firm Counterpoint Research.
Huawei is now only
behind Samsung in sales, and Counterpoint says that’s thanks to the company’s
consistent investment in w88 and manufacturing,
as well as aggressive and creative marketing (including this KFC phone).
Figures haven’t been released yet for August, though
Counterpoint indicates sales for that month also look strong. However, it’s
worth noting that with Apple’s new iPhone releases transfer funds m88 just around the corner, the iPhone maker is almost certain to get back on top
in September.
Researchers at Counterpoint also point out that Huawei has a
weak presence in the South Asian, Indian, and North American markets, which
“limits Huawei’s potential to the near-to-mid-term to take a sustainable second
place position behind Samsung.” Its strongest market is China, and it’s also
popular in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Huawei’s phones have become popular, thanks to designs
with large displays and advanced camera functions. Still, Apple
doesn’t have much to worry about; Counterpoint says the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
remain the world’s best-selling smartphones, while Oppo’s R11 and A57 claimed
the third and fourth spots, respectively, followed by Samsung’s Galaxy S8,
Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 4X, and Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Plus. Surprisingly, despite
overtaking Apple in global sales, none of Huawei’s phones appear on the customer service m88 list.
“While Huawei climbed to be the world’s second largest brand
overall, it is surprising to see none of its models breaking into the top
rankings,” said Counterpoint Research senior analyst, Pavel Naiya in a
statement. “While Huawei has trimmed its portfolio, it likely needs to further
streamline its product range like Oppo and Xiaomi have done — putting more
muscle behind fewer products.”
According to IDC, Apple shipped 41 million iPhones in
the second quarter of 2017, compared to Huawei’s 38.5 million. We’ve reached

shipped in June and July.
