The well-known statistical agency Gartner shared the ranking with the top five global smartphone manufacturers in Q2 2020 (second quarter).
Smartphone sales down in Q2, Samsung returns to the top by overtaking Huawei
Let's start with the worst news of all, which is that overall sales fell by 20,4% to a total of 295 million units. This is almost certainly due to the global epidemic.
Going to the ranking, the top five brands in the world are Samsung, Huawei, Apple, Xiaomi and OPPO.
In particular, Samsung smartphone sales in Q2 2020 were 54,759 million units, taking the top spot, with a market share of 18,6% and a year-on-year decline of 27,1%.
Huawei ranked second in sales with 54,125 million smartphones, with a market share of 18,4%, a year-over-year decline of 6,8%, but month-over-month sales volume increased by 27,4. XNUMX%.
From a sales point of view, the devices from Samsung and Huawei in the second quarter recorded a gap of about 630.000 units.
Anshul Gupta, senior research director at Gartner, also said Huawei's outstanding achievements are mainly due to the Chinese market. Thus suggesting that Trump's ostracism to the brand appears to be paying off.
Speaking of Trump and the US, Apple was ranked third, with 38,386 million units in the second quarter, essentially the same as last year, with a market share of 13,0% and a decrease of 0,4. % year over year. Apple has to thank especially the iPhone 11 and the new iPhone SE that continue to dominate sales.
In fourth and fifth position we have Xiaomi and OPPO, with sales of 26.095.200 units and 23.612.100 units respectively. Xiaomi's market share is 8,9%, down 21,5% on an annual basis; while OPPO's market share is 8,0%, down 15,9% year-on-year.
