For the first time, China's Huawei has passed Samsung as the world’s No. 1 supplier of smartphones. “If it wasn’t for COVID-19, it wouldn’t have happened,' one analyst says.

For the first time, Huawei Technologies Co. has passed Samsung Electronics as the world’s No. 1 supplier of smartphones, according to new data from research company Canalys.

Huawei shipped 55.8 million devices in the second quarter, Canalys said, down 5% year-over-year, while Samsung shipped 53.7 million, 30% less than the prior year due to disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Huawei’s China sales rose 8% in the second quarter, though its overseas shipments dropped 27%.
