How serious and dangerous is China’s offensive on Korean and
Western mobile hardware brands? Extremely Dangerous , according to
research conducted between January and March by IC Insights, which
predictably positioned Samsung and Apple above the smartphone
manufacturer hierarchy, only followed by a flurry of handheld vendors
based in the Middle Kingdom.





Huawei won bronze during Q1 2016, with 28.9 million units sold, still
considerably behind the gold and silver medalists’ 81.5 and 51.6 mil
scores respectively. But OPPO exceeded its most optimistic
expectations, leaping from eight place in 2015 to fourth, as it shipped
16.1 million affordable, mid-range Androids..


Xiaomi retained the fifth spot, Vivo surged from tenth to sixth, Korea-
based LG dropped a slot to #7, while ZTE, Lenovo, TCL, Meizu and
Micromax wrapped up the top twelve. No Sony, no Microsoft, no HTC,
and no more Coolpad in the leading pack, with IC Insights forecasting
an identical chain of command at the end of the year.
A number of Chinese OEMs, including Huawei, OPPO, Vivo and Meizu,

plus India’s Micromax, are tipped to register massive year-to-year
growth of between 29 and 74 percent, whereas Samsung, Apple or LG
should see shipment declines ranging from 1 to 5 percent. But the
Korean and US giants will remain the top two smartphone makers… for
the time being.



I think the main reason for the growth of the Chinese companies are
due to the affordability and durability of their devices. These devices
can be easily fixed at a low cost unlike Samsung, Sony, LG or Microsoft
which takes a lot of money to fix up. There's no African Brand making
the rounds yet. Will someone create a smartphone that will spark up
the rise of African OEM's?,. Let's keep our fingers crossed and wait.
