Huawei. Q3 2018 turns out to be very good for the Chinese, they manage to surpass the company by a large margin Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in terms of smartphone sales, for the second consecutive fiscal quarter. Many analysts believed this to be the achievement of Huawei, and now we have confirmation from IDC, saying that the difference would be no less than 4.9 million units for these three months that ended in September.
Huawei. The difference with Apple is more than 10% of the total sales recorded by the Americans in Q3 2018, and this shows us that the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max did not have great sales, probably very close to those of the iPhone 8 series. from T3 2017, sales of iPhone phones increased by 200.000 units in T3 2018, but in the case of Huawei there is an increase of 12.7 million units, huge, and Samsung lost many of the sales.
Huawei. Apple EXCEEDED by a LOT in Smartphone Sales
Huawei. Thanks to the very good sales recorded during this period, the Chinese remained in the second position in the top 5, reaching even closer to those from Samsung, although they are still separated by a considerable number of smartphones sold. Although for Q4 2018 it was expected that iPhone sales would be close to 80 million units, as in previous years, the fact that Apple sells extremely expensive phones could help Huawei to remain in 2nd place among the top manufacturers.
"Samsung shipped 72.3 million smartphones worldwide in Q3 2018, dipping 13 percent annually from 83.4 million units in Q3 2017. Samsung is losing ground to Huawei, Xiaomi and other Chinese rivals in the huge China and India markets. Samsung must solve its China and India problems before it is too late. Huawei soared 32 percent annually from 39.1 million smartphones shipped worldwide during Q3 2017 to a healthy 51.8 million units in Q3 2018. Huawei remains the world's second largest smartphone vendor with a 14 percent share. Huawei has little presence in the valuable North American market, but its Android models are wildly popular in most of the rest of the world, particularly Asia and Europe."
Huawei. The consolidation of the position on the smartphone market is a new sign that the trends are changing, those from Samsung being on a descending one for several fiscal quarters, and this does not seem to change. Apple maintains itself in terms of sales, it does not register a drop, despite the negative evolution of Samsung, but Huawei wins the most from the competition that the Americans and Koreans make, and the customers are the ones who should win, in the end.
