Huawei – Third place in the world and number one in China

Not long ago, a Taiwan market research and analysis firm called TrendForce released a report showing the current situation of the global smartphone market in 2015. This is like a summary to see what manufacturer did well after all. Accordingly, 1,292 billion handsets were sold last year, increasing 10.3 percent compared to the sale of 2014. Furthermore, people can easily notice the strong participation of many Chinese smartphone makers.

They were able to ship 539 million units globally in 2015 and Huawei to replace Lenovo to be the third largest smartphone manufacturer all over the world, after Samsung and Apple. Specifically, Huawei delivered more than 100 million handsets last year, accounting for 8.4% of global sales and obviously beating Xiaomi to be number one in China. Though, Xiaomi also did pretty well with 5.6% of global sales. The fifth place belonged to Lenovo with 5.4% and then LG, TCL, OPPO, BBK and ZTE filled in the blank to finish the top 10.

One thing which is kind of shocked to us is that Sony did not appear in the top 10. They were ranked eighth in 2014, but in 2015, they could not stay there anymore. It seems like the flagship Sony Xperia Z5 and its variants could not help much. Hopefully, this year the firm will have a right strategy to get back on track.

What will Huawei bring consumers in 2016?

We bet that Huawei will try even more to keep the position and as a result, we will be welcoming many great products in the near future. Right now, we are looking forward to their flagships including Huawei P9 with a gorgeous package of specs. Yet, how about you? What are expecting from Huawei? Share with us!
