Peter Richardson, vice-president and research director of tech strategies at Counterpoint, said, "Huawei is leading the China market, which started to recover relatively quickly at almost the same time when many other markets around the world underwent lockdowns.

Richardson from Counterpoint also warned that Huawei's lead in smartphones is likely to be short-lived.

Data from the market research company Counterpoint show that OnePlus is the number four player in the global premium smartphone market, after Apple, Huawei and Samsung.

"The reason for Samsung closing its HDI manufacturing factory lies in its poor business performance in the Chinese market amid mounting competition from local rivals," said James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research.

James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, said that Samsung will pay more attention to 5G handset products, with a focus on the premium and low-end markets in China.

"We still see an immense growth potential for video streaming platforms, following the increasing population from the post-2000 generation growing up to become internet users in China," said Flora Tang, research analyst at Counterpoint.

A Counterpoint report showed that OnePlus took fourth place in the market share of the global high-end smartphones in the first quarter of 2019.

OnePlus is leading the market in the premium segment above 30,000 Indian rupees ($428) with a 43-percent share, followed by Samsung and Apple, according to Counterpoint Research.

But the launch is a boost to the company's brand," said James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research.

Huawei's deep technology reserve and wealth of patents minimize the effect of sanctions on its 5G portfolio, said James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research.

Statistics from market research company Counterpoint showed Huawei has maintained high-speed growth, with a run of hit products last year.

James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, said the cost of manufacturing LCD screens in the US is relatively high and the expenditure of hiring a blue-collar worker, or an employee engaged in the manufacturing industry, is not low, so "it is not surprising that Foxconn intends to hire mostly engineers and researchers rather than the manufacturing workforce the project originally promised.

According to market research firm Counterpoint, in the third quarter, Samsung sales accounted for 1 percent of the Chinese market.

"Fierce competition among local players in the mid-to-affordable premium market has forced key local players to continuously improve their offerings and roll out advanced features that are more akin to premium level smartphones," said James Yan, research director at Counterpoint.

Huawei remained the world's second-largest smartphone supplier for the second consecutive quarter, with the global market share of 14 percent in the third-quarter of this year, consultancy Counterpoint Research said on Friday.

According to Counterpoint Research, the top three smartphone makers and the other four —Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Lenovo — contributed 74 percent of the global market in the third-quarter.

In Asia, North America and Europe, Oppo, Apple and Samsung led the market with share of 16 percent, 39 percent, and 31 percent, respectively, Counterpoint Research said.

Huawei has overtaken Apple again to remain the world's second largest smartphone vendor for two consecutive quarters, according to the leading analyst firms - IDC, IHS Markit and Counterpoint.

James Yan, an analyst with market research company Counterpoint Research, said the move shows how Apple is catering to local industry partners and consumers' tastes, highlighting the importance of the Chinese market for the world's most valuable company.

His view was echoed by Yan, from Counterpoint.

Samsung ranked second with 34 percent and Apple with 14 percent, according to data from market research company Counterpoint.

James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, said the application of the industrial internet will enhance the capacities of Foxconn in intelligent manufacturing, reduce costs and improve operating efficiency, adding that it has gained experience in intelligent manufacturing.

According to the report released by industry analysis firm Counterpoint Research, OnePlus was the quickest developing brand in the top-notch segment while shipments for Apple and Samsung declined year-on-year.

Tarun Pathak, associate director at market research company Counterpoint Technology Market Research, said Huawei achieved such robust growth by launching smartphones in the premium segment and capturing the mid-tier segment with its fast-growing Honor brand.

Currently, Apple derives most of the profits in the world smartphone market because of its brand value and high average selling prices, which stood at $724 in the quarter ended in June, according to analysts from IDC and Counterpoint.

"The cooperation is highly complementary, and Google could help JD expand its presence in overseas markets," said James Yan, research director at market research company Counterpoint, adding that Google also aspires to seek a strong partner in China, and JD offers great expertise in logistics and delivery services.

At the same time, Huawei's arch rival Apple Inc fell out of the list of China's top four smartphone sellers in the second quarter, as mounting competition from local players intensified, a report by consultancy Counterpoint Research said.

Last year, Apple's flagship iPhone lost the title of bestselling smartphone in China, the first time it fell from its throne since 2012, the Counterpoint report showed.

A report from Counterpoint Technology Market Research said Samsung sold only 3.5 million smartphones in China in the first quarter of this year, down 60 percent from 8.7 million units sold in the same period last year.

James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, said Foxconn has a sense of crisis and is trying to reduce its heavy reliance on Apple as the sales performance of Apple's iPhone 6S and 7 is unsatisfactory.

In the first quarter of this year, Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo and Oppo still were among the top five players and accounted for more than half of India's smartphone sales, according to market consultancy Counterpoint Research.

The growing emphasis on establishing an overseas presence comes as the domestic smartphone market has been declining for 18 months, according to research firm Counterpoint.

Varun Mishra, an analyst at market research company Counterpoint Research, said that at first glance, the automobile sector may seem an unlikely business for Xiaomi to enter.

China, Huawei's largest market, is now recovering from the pandemic, compared with other markets like Europe and the United States," said Tarun Pathak, associate director of the Counterpoint Research market consultancy.

Market research company Counterpoint Research also showed in its latest report that one in three smartphones sold in China from April to June was a 5G phone.

Zhang Mengmeng, an analyst at Counterpoint Research, said Chinese smartphone vendors and telecom operators are actively pushing 5G smartphones by lowering prices of 5G devices as well as 5G data plans.

In the second quarter of this year, one in three smartphones sold in China was a 5G phone, the market research company Counterpoint Research said.

Huawei achieved 14 percent year-on-year growth despite the overall market slowdown as its hefty investment in expanding distribution networks both online and offline has paid off, Counterpoint said.

But when it came to market share, Apple was ranked only fourth with a market share of 9 percent, research from Counterpoint showed.

Peter Richardson, vice-president of market research company Counterpoint, said smartphones are considered a vital part of daily life, especially for those enduring extended periods of self-quarantine or remote working.

"The epidemic will affect the manufacturing and supply of electronic components and equipment in the short term, as many factories will not resume production after the Lunar New Year holiday until Feb 10," said James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research.

Ivan Lam, senior analyst at market consultancy Counterpoint Research, wrote in a note: "The strategic price adjustment will cancel out competitive pressure but will also boost sales growth, especially around the Lunar New Year season.

Counterpoint Research said global foldable smartphone shipments are expected to have continued their rising trend and hit 16 million units in 2023, an increase of 26.8 percent year-on-year, fueled by the continued growth of the Chinese foldable phone sector and accelerated competition among foldable products worldwide.

The Chinese foldable smartphone market has shown exponential growth in 2023, registering a 106 percent year-on-year increase in the third quarter, said Counterpoint Research.

"The Chinese foldable smartphone market was poised for double-digit growth in 2023, even against an anticipated overall market contraction of less than 5 percent year-on-year," said Zhang Mengmeng, a senior research analyst at Counterpoint Research.

Tom Kang, research director at Counterpoint, said: "At the moment, foldable smartphones remain niche.

Regional drivers, especially China, combined with growing consumer willingness to buy foldable devices, will help keep shipment growth buoyant, Counterpoint said.

According to a report published by research firm Counterpoint in May, 8 percent of the total mobile devices sold in China in the first quarter were using the operating system, a jump from 3 percent over the same period a year earlier.

Global shipments of foldable phones are projected to reach 101.5 million units in 2027 from 18.6 million units in 2023, according to a new report released by market research company Counterpoint Research.

According to market consultancy Counterpoint Research, sales of high-end smartphones in China grew at a compound annual rate of 9.8 percent from 2017 to 2022, indicating the consumer demand for high-end mobile phones is gradually increasing in China.

"At the moment, foldable phones remain niche but it is an important segment for brands looking to maintain leadership in innovation and a premium market presence," said Tom Kang, research director at Counterpoint.

We are looking at 2025 as the possible year of the iPhone's foldable debut, which could provide another growth spurt for the segment," said Jene Park, a senior analyst at Counterpoint.

Although the Chinese smartphone market declined by about 8 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, the domestic foldable market continued to grow, surging 117 percent year-on-year to 1.08 million units, Counterpoint noted.

"Noting that competition in China's smartphone market is heating up, Zhang Mengmeng, a research analyst at Counterpoint Research, said Baidu lacks experience in phone manufacturing and will also encounter challenges in expanding retail channels and brand development.
