Counterpoint: Xiaomi surpasses Apple, becomes the 3rd biggest smartphone maker in Q3 2020

The smartphone market is already recovering after the first wave of lockdowns and quarantine around the world – it recorded a 32% increase in shipments on a quarterly basis. Compared with Q3 2019, the decline is just 4% – that’s 366 million units.

Samsung managed to reach its highest number of shipments in the past three years, increasing its sales 48% from the previous quarter and 3% from the July-September period last year. Realme became the fastest company to reach 50 million shipments overall, while Apple suffered mostly due to pushing the iPhone launch to Q4 2020.

Looking at the region breakdown, Samsung is the only company to be in the Top 5 of each region, leading in three of them. Huawei is only doing well in Asia, its share plummeting elsewhere while Apple doesn’t make the top 5 outside North America and Europe.
