Huawei displaces Apple, becomes 2nd biggest smartphone maker

Huawei Technologies Co has overtaken Apple Inc to get the number two spot in the smartphones market, and close to displacing Samsung as the number one.

Huawei has been having a steady growth over Apple Inc and Samsung with its much received high-end devices, especially in the Chinese market, Bloomberg reports.

It should, however, be noted that that the iPhone maker and Samsung also enjoyed a bit of market stabilization after they had a disappointing out during the holiday period.

Reports have it that despite the relative market stability that both Apple and Samsung had, Huawei should get to the second spot throughout the rest of the year 2019.

“The overall smartphone market continues to be challenged in almost all areas, yet Huawei was able to grow shipments by 50 percent.

“This new ranking of Samsung, Huawei, and Apple is very likely what we’ll see when 2019 is all said and done.” Ryab Reith, the vice president of IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers, said.

This new ranking came after Huawei faced a damning accusation that it aided Chineses spying earlier this year.
