Who's in the top three?
Market leader in terms of number of smartphones soldremains the South Korean company Samsung. It sold 76.6 million devices in the quarter, which is 7.1% more than in the same period last year. Now the No. 1 manufacturer has 21.3% of the market.
Next comes Huawei.The Chinese company has not yet managed to overtake Samsung, and it is still far from leadership: Huawei has 56.7 million smartphones sold, that is, 20 million less than Samsung. But this is 4.6% more than last year’s figures. As a result, Huawei has 15.8% of the market.
Apple remains in third place, and everything is already sad here. The company sold 36.4 million iPhones, which is 11.9% less than in the second quarter of 2018.
The company's financial report said smartphone sales fell 12% to $25.99 billion. And for the first time since 2012, revenue from iPhone sales is less than half of Apple's total revenue.
However, Apple now holds 10.1% of the market, but risks losing third place to Xiaomi, which now has 32.3 million sales and 9% of the smartphone market.
