Huawei recorded an impressive premiere during the Coronavirus pandemic, and managed to surpass Samsung in global smartphone sales, something no one would have believed. For the first time in history, Huawei occupies the first position in the list of the biggest phone sellers, and Samsung is very easily behind it, those from Apple occupying the third position, one that we are already used to regarding the company American.
Huawei sold 55.8 million mobile phones globally in Q2 2020, compared to 53.7, as sold by Samsung, the difference being small, only 2.1 million units, but based on it, it became the market leader. Huawei achieved a remarkable achievement in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic, and with very serious sanctions imposed by the USA against it, but here a very important role was played by the Chinese market, where most of the sales came from.
Huawei: EXCEEDS Samsung, it is the BIGGEST Smartphone Manufacturer
Huawei registered a substantial decrease in sales in Europe, of 27%, I told you in the morning how serious the situation is on the continent, but China fully compensated absolutely everything, helping the company. Another part of the help came from Samsung, which recorded a 30% decrease in phone sales in T2 2020, that is a huge one, and thus Huawei managed to climb to the first position in the top of the largest phone manufacturers , something that seemed impossible.
"This is a remarkable result that few people would have predicted a year ago. If it wasn't for COVID-19, it wouldn't have happened. Huawei has taken full advantage of the Chinese economic recovery to revamp its smartphone business. Samsung has a very small presence in China, with a market share of less than 1%, and has seen its core markets of Brazil, India, the United States and Europe devastated by outbreaks and subsequent shutdowns.”
Huawei it sold 2% fewer phones in Q2020 5 than in Q2 2019, so everything was due to the fact that Samsung recorded a 6 times greater decrease in sales, and thus positioned itself below the Chinese. The Chinese market played the most important role, over half of all Huawei sales coming from there, but Samsung no longer sells anything in that market, so it had nothing to gain while other markets fell sharply.
Huawei set out in 2019 to become the biggest smartphone seller globally, he succeeded in 2020, but everything depends only on the situation we are in, and it is more than likely only temporary.
