Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi want to dethrone Samsung and Apple

This has been confirmed by Statista, one of the leading companies in statistics, studies and comparisons on the Internet.

As we can see, for the third quarter of this year, Samsung continues to maintain a good margin against its American competitor Apple, who has had a lower growth compared to the South Korean firm Samsung, which has managed to consolidate even more compared to the previous year.

If we look at the infographic, we can see that all the companies in the top 5 of Statista, have increased their presence in users worldwide.

This study was based on the unit sales of each phone to each user. That is, in it we have reflected who has sold the most, and Samsung is the winner of this section.

Who has sold the most in this third quarter?

During the third quarter of this year, Samsung sold around 85.6 million units of phonesWhile Apple only managed to sell 45.4 million iPhones. Almost half of his South Korean rival.

On the other hand, Huawei sold around 36.5 million smartphonesWhile Oppo and Xiaomi sold 29.4 and 26.9 million units respectively.

And if we talk about percentages, Samsung has had an increase, with respect to the third quarter of last year, of approximately 13.45%. Then we have Apple with sales growth of 2.522%, Huawei with 9.5%, Oppo with 14.3% growth and, last but not least, Xiaomi with a surprising 43% growth.

Xiaomi is the company that has grown the most compared to the previous year

The Chinese firm Xiaomi, despite being the last in this top 5, has had a prosperous increase in its sales worldwide. And it is not for less, since it has been expanding in different countries such as Spain, which, until very recently, opened a physical store there, which gives it a stronger presence in the European market. Also due to the presence in India, Russia and Latin America.

How does Xiaomi grow?

Its formula is based on maintaining a very careful balance between the quality / price ratio of its terminals. Something that companies like Samsung and Huawei have been abandoning a bit, unfortunately. And by providing an easy and good alternative to the high costs of other terminals from other companies, this is presented as a tentative option when choosing a good, affordable phone with excellent features. ¡Good for Xiaomi!

If Xiaomi continues with the same growth rate, This Chinese company promises to be in the top 3 of the best sellers, and beware if it does not take down Samsung or Apple in the not too distant future.

Huawei is getting more and more noticeable

Moreover, Huawei, for a long time now, has played a very important role in the current smartphone market Due to the fame that some of its terminals have had, such as the Huawei Mate 10, and its predecessors. Also for his well-known series P, Nova, for the Honor and for the Y series.

This is part of the objective of the company in Spain, although not only there, but for the whole world.

«Our goal is to be leaders. We cannot settle for less. "

Oppo, a company they didn't bet much on

If Chinese companies have taught us anything, it is that we should not underestimate them. So much so the Chinese smartphone market is bigger than the American and European… Because of this, Asian companies achieve enormous success due to the immense number of consumers that this country, the most populous in the world, has.

In this case, Oppo, the smartphone manufacturer, has established itself as the fourth company that has had the most presence in this quarter at a global level, thus demonstrating the potential of this company that has very well known how to do things to reach this position.

Apple, with iOS, maintains its low and consistent presence with respect to Android

Android, with a presence of approx. 85% globally, has beaten iOS and iPhone a bit. This is due to the large number of brands using Android, from cheap phones to expensive phones.

However, the fame of iPhones is very much in force, and it is recognized that with so few models, Apple takes a good portion of the cake as far as terminal sales, worldwide, are concerned.

Other firms are still in contention

It's not just about Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Oppo or Xiaomi.

Vivo, which previously held Xiaomi's position as the fifth best-selling phone maker, closely follows these companies in step.

Nokia, for its part, has established a good increase in its sales and presence in mobile phone users with its reappearance, in style, with its Android terminals.

Other brands such as LG, Motorola, Sony, HTC, and a myriad of Asian brands, are also getting noticed. in the global smartphone market, such as Meizu, OnePlus, Asus, Elephone, ZTE and others.

Recall that this competition is healthy, and it benefits us users. Due to this, we notice great advances and novelties in the phones that are coming out, thus reducing their price and increasing their benefits to provide us with a better experience when using it.

It is the least that smartphone manufacturers can do since they make money at our expense. You know, giving and giving, huh?

So while companies compete with each other, let's hope for better, cheaper phones.
