Statistics compiled by Counterpoint Technology Market Research show that the Chinese Oppo is strengthening its position in the global smartphone market. The share of Oppo is growing amid the collapse of the share of Huawei; whose mobile business has become a victim of tough US sanctions.
In May, Oppo is estimated to have come out on top in the global smartphone market, ahead of Apple. The share of Oppo was 16% against 15% for the Apple empire. Xiaomi is in fourth place with 14%. Interestingly, according to other analysts, Xiaomi came out on top in the second quarter, overtaking Apple.
