New Delhi - Despite the US trade restrictions, Huawei has overthrown Samsung and Apple to become the leader in smartphone shipments globally in the second quarter of 2020, a new report said on Thursday.

Huawei shipped 55.8 million devices, down 5 per cent in Q2. The second-placed Samsung shipped 53.7 million smartphones, a 30 per cent fall against Q2 2019, according to the market research firm Canalys. "If it wasn't for Covid-19, it wouldn't have happened. Huawei has taken full advantage of the Chinese economic recovery to reignite its smartphone business," Stanton said in a statement.

Huawei is still subject to US government restrictions, which have stifled its business outside of mainland China.
