Samsung managed to dominate Apple in the first three months of 2021 in terms of mobile phone sales, a situation that is not exactly that far from what we have seen in the past years. Samsung returned to the first position in the top of the phone manufacturers after things did not go as well for the company in Q4 2020, while Apple also recorded an increase in phone sales.
However, Huawei is not going in the same direction, the Chinese company leaving the top 5 mobile phone manufacturers for the first time, it will never return as long as the US sanctions exist. On the other hand, Xiaomi recorded a colossal increase in sales, of 61%, getting extremely close to Apple in terms of sales, but still being very far from Samsung, which dominates the top without any right of appeal .
Samsung DOMINATES Apple, the very important change with Huawei
Samsung alone has almost a quarter of the entire mobile phone market, Apple reaching a market share of 15%, up 41% compared to 2020, and we also have OPPO and Vivo at the top. This top 5 of the largest mobile phone manufacturers is dominated by Asian companies, Apple being the only Western company present there, the rest being the Chinese manufacturers and Samsung being the ones that record the highest sales, and that says a lot.
Samsung managed to recover in terms of mobile phone sales, and this also taking advantage of the situation of those from Huawei, who lost almost everything they gained in the last 10 years. Not even the subsidiary sold to a consortium from China managed to place itself in the top 5 global mobile phone manufacturers, those from Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo managing to collect the customers who until now bought the phones from Huawei, and not only in China.
Samsung is fighting with serious strength to remain in the top of the phone manufacturers, and those who said that it could become the next Nokia were sorely mistaken, at least for now.
