- Chinese telecom company Huawei held on to its spot as the world’s second biggest smartphone vendor in the first quarter, despite being blacklisted by the United States, research and advisory firm Gartner said.
Gartner also said Huawei continued to reduce the gap with Samsung, but warned that growth could be limited in the near term. Gartner said Samsung retained its top spot in worldwide smartphone sales, achieving a 19.2% market share in the first quarter of 2019. Huawei achieved the highest year-over-year growth among the world’s top five - Samsung, Huawei, Apple and Chinese smartphone makers OPPO and Vivo.
But the impact of the U.S. action against Huawei is likely to spook buyers. PriceSpy, a product comparison site that attracts an average of 14 million visitors per month, said last week that Huawei handsets were drawing fewer clicks from online shoppers.
This headline is wrong. The US ban came into effect only in May. These figures are for the January-March quarter. How could a May ban affect those sales?
This article fails to mention that a) Huawei will launch its own operating system. If successful it will hit google/Android + Microsoft b) Huawei has to look for non-American suppliers of components = loss for USA. ALL global manufacturers have to rethink using 🇺🇸parts!
