From Xiaomi we have been praising his big chess move in different fields where technology is common. These terminals in recent years have turned it into a great winning bet in a country like China and then those export smartphones that have arrived through stores that have been able to sell them to millions of users around the world. Xiaomi is facing a great competitor, Huawei, of which today we have great news.
Huawei has become the largest smartphone seller in China in the third quarter of this year according to the Canalys firm, thus displacing Xiaomi from its dominant position. It is the first time that Huawei takes the first position and it comes right at a very important moment where the competitiveness between various brands is in full swing, as Christmas lurks around the corner.
First
Precisely this news comes after the launch this month of the new Nexus 6P, one of the best initiatives within this Google phone program, which this year, one of those in charge of manufacturing it has been the Chinese manufacturer. Coincidence or not, arrive at the same time, so Google has been right in choosing Huawei. A decision surely made by the good work of this manufacturer in recent years by launching smartphones at a great price, high quality hardware and a very good design.
The great feat is that the Chinese smartphone market is very difficult due to the saturation of smartphones for this type of device, so to rise to that first position at this time is quite significant.
The own words of Canalys analyst Jessie Ding confirm this: «the rise of Huawei towards the throne of smartphones in China it is a very remarkable destination, especially in the difficult and mature Chinese market for this type of devices.»
Xiaomi charging
Meanwhile, Xiaomi has a pressure exerted by themselves wanting to reach 80 million smartphones distributed in 2015. To reach these figures it will have to go through very good numbers in countries like India and Brazil. It was precisely Hugo Barra who took the company to Brazil this past summer for its global expansion that, little by little, is becoming a reality.
So the two meet in excellent shape, with some quite interesting data for Huawei with a growth in the third quarter of 81 percent compared to last year, while Xiaomi's distributions were reduced although they continue to remain on the rise.
Un very interesting year with Huawei and in that kind of celebration that has been the Nexus 6P itself with those achievements in the camera that have received such good adjectives.
