From CNET: Do you know what the most-drunk spirit in the world is? It's not whiskey, vodka or gin. It's baijiu. Baijiu is only consumed in China, but that's enough to make it number 1.
In a similar way, Huawei, without any exposure to the US market, is within reach of the global number 1 spot. The company sold 59.1 million phones in Q1 2019, mostly on the back of sales in China, a huge 50% jump from the same quarter last year. That's according to both Counterpoint Research and the International Data Corporation (IDC).
Perhaps more importantly, Samsung and Apple, in positions 1 and 3 respectively, hit sales slumps. Apple was hit particularly badly. IDC reckons Apple sold 15.8 million fewer iPhones than in the same quarter last year, while Counterpoint's numbers puts the year-on-year drop at 12.2 million. (IDC says 36.4 million iPhones were sold this quarter, Counterpoint says 42 million.)
Samsung, fresh off releasing its outstanding Galaxy S10 range, went from selling 78.2 million phones in Q1 of 2018 to 72 million in Q1 of 2019.
