But the major factor is that all of these phone companies saw a drop in shipment in the third quarter. Samsung declined by 13 percent, Apple by 9 percent, Xiaomi by 15 percent, Oppo declined by 15 percent and Vivo dropped by 14 percent in this quarter.

Huawei and Honor:

In the meantime, Counterpoint mentioned that Huawei and its former smartphone subsidiary gained a share and are the only brands to record yearly growth in the third quarter.

It says that the Huawei Mate 60 series is contributing big to Huawei’s growth in China. On the other hand, Honor is performing well in the global market.
