Huawei jumps ahead of Xiaomi in China according to new analysis
New analysis, including a look at the numbers by research company Canalys, indicates Huawei has jumped ahead of Xiaomi as the number 1 smartphone manufacturer in China. The two companies have been trading the top spot for some time now. According to the sales and market share numbers that were analyzed, Huawei reportedly saw shipments grow 81% year over year for the third quarter of 2015. At the same time, Xiaomi saw their shipments decline.
For 2015, Xiaomi set a target of selling 80 million devices. For the first half of the year, they sold around 35 million units, so they need a big second half of 2015. The release of the Mi 5 smartphone and how well it fares will play a big factor in whether they can make it. Meanwhile, Huawei may unveil their Mate 8 device before the end of the year to get their own bump. Although Xiaomi and Huawei have been dominating the Chinese manufacturer race, they will continue to keep their eyes on companies like ZTE, LeTV, and Meizu that hope to eventually rise to the top.
