Huawei has reportedly surpassed Samsung as the world’s largest smartphone maker for the first time ever in the month of 2020. With Huawei’s Google licensing ban still into effect, many believed the feat to be impossible.
As of now, Huawei sells six models that support 5G connectivity, these phones are the Mate 20 X 5G, Mate 30 5G, Mate 30 Pro 5G, Mate 30 RS Porsche Design, nova 6 5G, and the foldable Mate X. Furthermore, there are two more phones, which they sell with the same connectivity under their subsidiary brand Honor, the V30 and the V30 Pro.
In a post on Chinese social media site Weibo, the company claimed the latter two managed to win the title for best selling phone in its price category. Samsung managed to achieve the target by selling phones across the globe while the Chinese phone maker primarily sold its device in its domestic market, where there was a negligible presence of Samsung.
Huawei had managed a strong year in 2019, retaining its second position in global market share despite its decline outside China. The company’s success was attributed to the strong sentiment among the Chinese consumers, who had given preference to Huawei products after the US ban. And that trend seems to have continued in 2020.
