Huawei - now the world's second largest smartphone producer

In July, Tech analysis group Canalys reported Huawei overtaking Apple to become the world's second largest smartphone vendor for Q2 2018. But where are they most popular?

In July, Tech analysis group Canalys reported Huawei overtaking Apple to become the world's second largest smartphone vendor for Q2 2018.

Now, as August ends, Gartner agree.

More about Huawei:

How popular are Huawei smartphones across the world?

Have trade restrictions affected use of Huawei smartphones?

According to their latest report, Huawei sold over 5,000 more smartphones than Apple in Q2.

With 13.3% of market share, Huawei beat Apple's 11.9%, but still lag behind Samsung at 19.3%.

Given the hostility Huawei currently faces from the US Administration, it's no surprise to see their market share remain quite low in the US - just 0.12%.

With Australia, and possibly Japan adding to this regulatory pressure, Huawei will do well to keep Q2 momentum going.

While sales figures are naturally quite different from the usage data we see, let's investigate Huawei presence across the globe.

As we see in the map above, Huawei is most popular in Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain as well as Colombia, Egypt and South Africa.
