For 2017 Q1 alone, it managed to ship 20.8 millions of smartphones which most from the push coming from the popularities of its mid-range, P-series, and Mate series smartphones and devices.
This number equates to 25.5% growth from Q1 2016 and an overall 20% share with Oppo taking the second spot with an 18.2% share and 19.5% growth. The latter’s sister company, Vivo, ranks at third 14.1% share and 7.6% growth.
Unsurprisingly, Apple takes most of the dips as it faces stronger competition even from the rising Xiaomi. The Cupertino-based giant is now at fourth with 9.6% share and -26.7% decline in a one-year span.
Remember that this coverage by IDC is in China alone and does not include other major markets such as USA, India, and SEA regions. But with the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus taking the stage before the juggernauts like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6, it seems the Chinese brand is still considerably a major threat to its competitors, globally.
