The head of Huawei belittled Samsung and said that if not for US sanctions, Apple and Huawei would have dominated the smartphone market

The sanctions imposed by the United States do not give Huawei peace in any way, and recently the head of the Chinese company in an interview speculated,

What would have happened to the smartphone market if it had not been for the bans that hit the manufacturer's business?

Apple and Huawei are in the lead, and Samsung is not considered at all

According to Huawei CEO Richard Yu(Richard Yu), "if not for US intervention and suppression of [Huawei], Huawei and Apple could have become the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers." As you can see, it was in the apple company that Huawei saw its main competitor.

But what about the undisputed leader of the smartphone market?Samsung? On this issue, Richard Yu diverged and stated that "others are small manufacturers, including a Korean company (Samsung), which can be sold mainly in the US and South Korea." It sounds like a shame, because Samsung has been leading in terms of the number of smartphones sold for many years and successfully bypasses all competitors.

Recall that Huawei has spent years trying toclose to Samsung's performance and, before the imposition of sanctions, was confident that it would become No. 1 in the global market. It succeeded in April 2020: at the time, thanks to strong sales in mainland China, Huawei surpassed Samsung by 2% market share and achieved 19% of all global phone sales, while Samsung's share was 17% due to poor sales. Galaxy S20 series.

Of course, it is impossible to know how everythingturned around if the US had not included Huawei in the "black list". But the fact remains: despite the loud statements, Samsung continues to lead, and Huawei continues to fall lower and lower.
