Huawei officially World's second-largest producer of smartphones

Huawei preceded Apple to become the second largest producer in the world after Samsung on an annual basis in 2019 discovered a report by Strategy Analytics, Canalies and Countpoint Research.

During the past year, the Chinese producer sold 240 million phones, compared to 200 million from Apple. Samsung maintains a comfortable first place with 300 million sold units.

Xiaomi and Oppo entered the list of five biggest producers. This achievement of Huawei becomes more significant in the face of the fact that last year you were banned from installing Google apps and services, a movement that has especially prevented it in the second half of 2019.

In China Huawei dominates 60% of the market. Canalies goes as far as to say that if there had not been American sanctions, Huawei would have challenged Samsung for the first place.

For the first time in 2017, Huawei preceded Apple in selling smartphones for the June and July period. But in 2019 Huawei sold in the field more than Apple. In the fourth three months, however, Apple has a performance that is not even challenged by Samsung since this period Apple sells new iPhone models.

But Samsung will regain the advantage when he introduces Galaxy S20 next month. In the whole industry, there was a decline compared to 2018.
