Huawei’s Rise in China’s Smartphone Market
The success of Huawei foldable smartphone comes at a time where China smartphone market is undergoing certain changes. This is for the first time that Chinese companies have topped the list with all five companies occupying the charts while Apple has fallen out of the top five smartphone vendors in china based on another research firm Canalys second quarter data. Even so, Huawei was able to achieve fourth position and sold 10. 6 million phones in the quarter.
With the release of its new AI-driven iPhone 16 coming in the future, specialists continue to think that the utilisation of AI in digital commerce will bring significant changes. The use of AI in Apple mobile wallet and ability to provide better and more context-aware financial experiences has raised a lot of interest in the industry. However, with the early lead in a new concept of foldable smartphones, the Chinese tech giant Huawei seems to have carved a niche for it in the ever-growing smartphone market.
